Integral energy performance characterization of semi-transparent photovoltaic elements for building integration under real operation conditions

- Design development and construction of an outdoor testing facility for STPV modules.
- Global performance assessment of STPV modules in real operation conditions.
- STPV solar gains and heat losses exceed the values achieved by a reference glass.
- STPV daylight factor ranges between 1% (10S) and 8% (40S).
- Transparency degree is not the most determining factor for the STPV electrical performance.
