HYBRID SOLAR CELLS INTEGRATED GLASSBLOCK AND PRESTRESSED PANEL MADE OF DRY-ASSEMBLED GLASSBLOCKS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF TRASLUCENT BUILDING ENVELOPES

摘要

A hybrid solar cells integrated glassblock structure, includes, at least one glass shell (0) having at least a light transparent surface (2, 9, 13) intended to be exposed to solar radiations, a Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSC) device (3, 8) associated to the surface (2, 9, 13) so as to receive solar radiations passing through the surface, the device having electric contacts, at least one hole (7, 11, 15, 17) allowing passage to an external area of the glassblock of electrical connections leading to the device contacts; and a prestressed and dry assembled glassblock panel for the construction of translucent building envelope even in high-rise buildings, which may also provide high performance related to energy production and saving.
