Progress of semitransparent emerging photovoltaics for building integrated applications

Zhisheng Zhou¹, Zhangyu Yuan¹, Zhipeng Yin, Qifan Xue, Ning Li*, Fei Huang*

Emerging PV becomes important in building integrated photovoltaics, especially in semitransparent solar cells (ST-SCs).
ST-SCs can be improved through the following four parts: transparent electrode, carrier transport layer, photoactive layer, and ST module. In addition, optical simulating calculations can screen optimal device structures.
Semi-empirical calculations prove that the performance of ST-SCs still has great potential for improvement.
