| Tartalmi kivonat: | Window-integrated solar panels offer a complementary solution to rooftop photovoltaics by converting building facades into energy-harvesting surfaces while improving energy efficiency. The TRANSMIT international research project develops semi-transparent photovoltaic (STPV) windows with a target average visual transparency of 50% and a power conversion efficiency of 8%, using micro-striped architectures based on CIGS and perovskite materials. Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of laboratory-scale devices show climate change impacts of 251.69 kg CO₂ eq. per m² for CIGS type STPV, and 136.09 kg CO₂ eq. per m² for the perovskite type. Although these impacts reflect early-stage prototypes, significant reductions are expected with process optimization and scale-up. The project also investigates recycling strategies to support circular economy principles and reduce dependence on critical raw materials, highlighting STPVs’ role in advancing net-zero energy buildings. |
