Façades with Photovoltaic Elements: A Review

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper brings an overview and comments of research and development studies of façades with photovoltaic elements that have been published mainly after 2010. Literature review is focused on the state-of-the-art aspects of building-integrated photovoltaic in façades, mainly their innovations and performance evaluation. This article also presents some current problems needed further research in this area. Also information about architectural sense of integration of photovoltaic modules in building envelopes and outlook of future of building-integrated photovoltaic is presented.
