Abstract

In this work, carbon counter electrode perovskite was developed at the laboratory environment and building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) window application using this material was investigated. At 1 sun (1000 W/m2) continuous incident solar radiation from an indoor simulator, this particular type of perovskite had 8.13% efficiency. Average solar and visible transmittance of this perovskite BIPV window was 30% and 20% respectively. Solar heat gain for different incident angle was evaluated for this perovskite glazing. For the University of Exeter, Penryn (50.16° N, 5.10° W) UK location, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) or solar factor (SF) varied from 0.14 to 0.33 at the highest and lowest incident angle respectively. Overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of 5.6 W/m2K was realized for this glazing while calculation was performed by window performance analysis programme, WINDOW 6.0. Daylight glare control potential of this glazing was investigated using subjective rating methods and comfortable daylight penetrated through glazing in a typical cloudy condition. Colour properties of this material showed that 20% visible transmittance is threshold limit, and below this value colour or visual comfort using this glazing is not achievable.
