Light and durable: Composite structures for building-integrated photovoltaic modules
Martins, A. C.; Chapuis, V.; Sculati-Meillaud, F.; Virtuani, A.; Ballif, C. (2018)In several countries, building-integrated photovoltaics solutions could prospectively contribute to the growth of total installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity as they enable electricity production with minimal impact on free ... -
Robust Glass-Free Lightweight Photovoltaic Modules With Improved Resistance to Mechanical Loads and Impact
Martins, A. C.; Chapuis, V.; Virtuani, A.; Ballif, C. (2019)In several countries, building-integrated photovoltaics (PV) solutions could contribute to the growth of total installed PV capacity. However, in some circumstances, the relative high weight (10-15 kg/m(2)) and lack of ... -
Thermo-mechanical stability of lightweight glass-free photovoltaic modules based on a composite substrate
Martins, A. C.; Chapuis, V.; Virtuani, A.; Li, H. Y.; Perret-Aebi, L. E.; Ballif, C. (2018)Lightweight PV modules are attractive for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications, especially for renovated buildings, where the additional load bearing capacity is limited. This work focuses on the development ... -
Ultra-Lightweight PV module design for Building Integrated Photovoltaics
Martins, A. C.; Chapuis, V.; Virtuani, A.; Ballif, C. (2017)Most of the existing solutions for Building Integrated PV (BIPV) are based on conventional crystalline-Silicon (c-Si) module architectures (glass-glass or glass-backsheet) exhibiting a relatively high weight (12-20 kg/m(2)). ...
