Thermo-mechanical stability of lightweight glass-free photovoltaic modules based on a composite substrate

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Hengyu Li, Laure-Emmanuelle Perret Aebi, Valentin Chapuis, Ana Cristina Oliveira Martins

Lightweight PV modules are attractive for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) applications, especially for renovated buildings, where the additional load bearing capacity is limited. This work focuses on the development of a lightweight, glass-free pho ...
