Summary: This paper presents a novel low concentration PV skylight system that controls solar energy in different seasons, increasing electricity production and reducing heat in buildings. Through various tests, the system shows a significant increase in PV power output in summer and reduces cooling demand without significantly affecting daylighting in buildings. This solution has the potential to replace traditional non-photovoltaic glazing skylights and generate electricity in buildings.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental study on two building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) wall systems and evaluates their electrical, thermal, and combined performance. The BIPV Trombe wall (BIPVTW) and BIPV south facade (BIPVSF) prototypes are compared to a reference chamber. The results show that BIPVTW has better overall performance, with 38.6% more daily electrical power and 3.2 times more daily heat gain compared to BIPVSF. Both systems achieve decent combined efficiencies of 13.16% and 39.67% respectively. Incorporating these technologies into buildings can generate power and save energy for heating, reducing fossil fuel use and carbon emissions.

Summary: This paper introduces a circuit simulation method for PV modules with various pattern styles, and validates its robustness through custom PV mini-modules that allow for I-V curve measurements and analysis. The electrical and thermal characteristics of dot-matrix patterned (DMP) modules are analyzed in detail, showing that pattern shading decreases module power but slightly increases fill factor and relative efficiency. The power reduction of dot-matrix patterned modules is less than continuous patterned modules, and inhomogeneous pattern distribution causes additional power loss and local temperature rise.

Summary: This study presents a methodology and dataset for examining compound wind and solar energy droughts, as well as the first standardized benchmark of energy droughts across the Continental United States (CONUS) for a 2020 infrastructure. The results show that compound wind and solar droughts have distinct spatial and temporal patterns across the CONUS, and the characteristics of energy droughts are regional. The study also finds that compound high load events occur more often during compound wind and solar droughts than expected.
