Abstract

Abstract: In order to study the thermal performance of amorphous silicon photovoltaic double-skin façade (a-Si PV DSF), the experimental cabin of a-Si PV DSF was designed and established in Nanjing, China (118.80° E, 32.06° N). The thermal performance of a-Si PV DSF was experimentally tested, and the influence of a-Si PV DSF on the heat gain of the cabin was studied. Using EnergyPlus to establish a simulation model of the experimental cabin, the model was verified by experimental data, and the verified model was used to simulate and analyze the heat transfer performance of a-Si PV DSF. The results show that a-Si PV DSF has better cooling and heat insulation effect during the day than at night, which can effectively reduce the heat gain of the external wall of the building. A-Si PV DSF has good energy-saving effect in different climate areas and reduce the heat gain of the external wall by more than 38%.
