Design, implementation and operation of the first PV facade with coloured PV cells

Description: Das Projekt "Design, implementation and operation of the first PV facade with coloured PV cells" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Stadtwerke Ulm GmbH durchgeführt. Objective: This project is aiming to realise the first PV facade at a significant size (normal rating about 18 kWp) with the recently developed coloured PV cells. These cells can be produced now in colours such as magenta, gold, green. General Information: The feasibility and viability of this innovative product is demonstrated and investigated. The implementation of coloured PV cells in PV facades now offers a huge variety of applications in the building sector since any restrictions and limitations for integrating PV system into facades and buildings can be overcome now. The efficiency of the coloured PV cells is almost the same as for the standard PV cells. The nominal rating of the PV generator integrated into the south-oriented facade is anticipated to become almost 18 kWp. The total energy production of this PV facade then is expected to be 10,680 kWh. The colours of the PV cells are carefully selected in order to meet aesthetic requirements. The operating voltage of the PV modules will be 615 VDC in order to feed the PV energy directly into the DC bus of the city tram. The approach of directly connecting the PV generator to the DC grid, increases the overall system efficiency. The costs for the coloured PV modules expected tobe about 10 per cent higher compared to conventional PV facades. Prime Contractor: Stadtwerke Ulm GmbH; Ulm; Germany.
