Descrizione del progetto
Finestre solari intelligenti e all’avanguardia contribuiscono a ridurre la nostra impronta ecologica
Il settore dei sistemi fotovoltaici integrati negli edifici non è ancora stato in grado di sviluppare e immettere sul mercato una soluzione di finestra fotovoltaica trasparente che risponda a determinati requisiti quali, tra le altre cose, trasparenza totale, ciclo vitale attivo e produzione energetica. Il progetto Tech4Win, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di sviluppare un nuovo concetto di finestra fotovoltaica trasparente, basato su una struttura ispirata al tandem che combina un rivestimento inorganico ultravioletto selettivo e multifunzionale con un dispositivo fotovoltaico organico selettivo a infrarossi. La finestra sarà in grado di generare energia rinnovabile in loco a costi ridotti, garantendo un alto grado di trasparenza ed evitando l’uso di materie prime essenziali.
Obiettivo
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.
