Photovoltaic (PV) Applications in Window Systems

NSCC应用能源研究建议与Kohltech入口和窗户系统公司合作，该公司在设计窗户方面拥有35年以上的经验，设计和建造一个太阳能光伏（PV）窗户的原型，以适应现有的生产框架并产生电力。Kohltech希望通过开发一种建筑集成太阳能光伏窗户，使其在加拿大高性能建筑行业的产品多样化。通过这项工作，加拿大的建筑商将有一个更容易获得和多样化的太阳能发电设备选择，并降低他们的碳足迹。NSCC和Kohltech将共同建造的窗户是为了测试Kohltech目前设计和制造的框架的太阳能效率。这个原型将给Kohltech提供有价值的数据，说明他们为加拿大市场制造特种太阳能pv窗的可行性。

NSCC Applied Energy Research proposes to work in partnership with Kohltech Entrance & Window Systems, a company with 35 plus years of experience in designing windows, to design and build a prototype of a solar photovoltaic (PV) window to fit within an existing production frame and produce electricity. Kohltech islooking to diversify its offerings in the high performance buildings industry in Canada by developing a buildingintegrated solar PV window. Through this work Canadian builders will have a more accessible and diverseoption for solar powering devices and lowering their carbon footprint. The window NSCC and Kohltech will build together is for testing solar efficiency in Kohltech's currently designed and manufactured frames. Thisprototype will give Kohltech valuable data on how feasible it is for them to manufacture specialty solar PVwindows for the Canadian market.
