Abstract EN
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) allow light transmission and the application of various colors that make them especially suitable for building-integrated PV (BIPV) application.
In order to apply DSSC modules to windows, the module has to be panelized: a DSSC module should be protected with toughened glass on the entire surface.
Up to the present, it seems to be common to use double glazing with DSSC modules, with air gaps between the glass pane and the DSSC modules.
Few studies have been conducted on the characteristics of various glazing methods with DSSC modules.
This paper proposes a paneling method that uses silicone encapsulant, analyzing the performance through experimentation.
Compared to a multilayered DSSC panel with an air gap, the encapsulant-applied panel showed 6% higher light transmittance and 7% higher electrical efficiency.
The encapsulant also prevented electrolyte leakage by strengthening the seals in the DSSC module.
