Embodiment Construction
[0057] Described here are improved windows including transparent Photovoltaic (PV) modules. One or more visible transparent PV layers can be integrated into Insulated Glazing Units (IGUs) used in windows of buildings or other structures such as vehicles. A PV layer integrated into an IGU can be used to generate electricity for a building or other installation site by converting light outside the visible band (eg, Infrared (IR) or Ultraviolet (UV)) into electricity. By converting the IR light entering the IGU into electricity, the PV layer can help improve the overall thermal performance of the IGU, such as thermal emissivity and solar heat gain coefficient, thereby reducing heating and / or cooling costs of the building. Because the PV layer is substantially transparent to visible light, visible light from a light source (eg, the sun) can enter the building through the IGU with little loss to illuminate the building's interior. In various embodiments, the PV layer can also be i...
