Description du projet
Des fenêtres solaires intelligentes révolutionnaires qui contribuent à réduire notre empreinte écologique
Le secteur du photovoltaïque intégré aux bâtiments n’a pas encore été en mesure de développer et de lancer sur le marché une solution de fenêtre photovoltaïque (PV) transparente capable de répondre aux exigences requises, notamment en matière de transparence totale, de durée de vie active et de production d’énergie. L’objectif du projet Tech4Win, financé par l’UE, consiste à développer un nouveau concept de fenêtre PV transparente basé sur une structure inspirée des cellules tandem qui combine un revêtement multifonctionnel inorganique doté de capacités sélectives dans l’ultraviolet avec un dispositif photovoltaïque organique doté de capacités sélectives dans l’infrarouge. Cette solution permettra une production d’énergie renouvelable sur site à un coût réduit, en assurant un niveau de transparence élevé tout en évitant d’utiliser des matières premières critiques.
Objectif
Tech4win proposes a very innovative transparent photovoltaic (PV) window concept that is based on the adoption of a tandem inspired structure combining an inorganic UV selective multifunctional coating (including UV filtering and UV selective PV functionalities), with an organic IR selective PV device. This will allow fully exploiting the IR efficiency and transparency potential of organic based solutions together with the robustness and stability of inorganic thin film concepts, combining sustainable and industrial compatible technologies with demonstrated potential for cost reduction, and avoiding the use of critical raw materials to ensure sustainable mass deployment. This “tandem inspired structure” will be able to generate on-site renewable energy (PCE ≥ 10%, with a long term goal ≥ 12%) guaranteeing a high-transparency degree (AVT ≥ 60% with a long term goal ≥ 70%, and CRI ≥ 70) and all by a competitive manufacturing costs. This novelty lies precisely in the capacity to protect the most active PV layer (IR selective organic solar cell) through the filtering of UV radiation, extending the lifetime of the PV hybrid device to ≥ 10 years (with a long term goal ≥ 25 years). To fulfil these objectives, a very well balanced multi-sectorial consortium comprising reference Research Centers in the different PV technologies involved in the window concept, together with high-tech European Companies from different sectors including relevant stakeholders involved in the value chain (Organic materials, Industrial Equipment developers, PV module producers and BIPV system manufacturers). This scenario constitutes an excellent business opportunity to satisfy the growing BIPV market to commercialize a unique cost-effective solar window solution, fully feasible as an active product capable to reach a challenging combination of efficiency, transparency and lifetime, with the design of a “Tech4Win” roadmap to place on the market a robust solar window in approximately 10 years.
