In this research, a unique PV glazing technology, thermally resistive PV glazing (TRPVG), is introduced, and its thermal, optical and acoustic performance parameters are experimentally investigated. In the previous works, multifunctional benefits of TRPVG as a novel building element such as high thermal resistance, promising electricity generation potential, self-cleaning and competitive cost are addressed. Within the scope of the present research, absorption of UVC and UVA part of incoming sunlight, control of visible light transmittance and solar thermal radiation, reduction of different noise levels, and temperature difference across the PV glazing are comprehensively analysed. The tests are conducted in April 2019 for a specific sample (TRPVG-Ar16) in which a 16 mm thick argon is utilised as inert gas behind a-Si PV cells for thermal resistance, and a novel low-e coated thermally resistive glass is reinforced at the rear. The results reveal that TRPVG-Ar16 is a very good thermal insulator at first glance. The average temperature difference between front and back surfaces is determined to be 16.59 oC, which is promising and a strong function of incoming solar radiation. The average solar radiation is measured to be 527.6 W/m2 during the test period, and the aforesaid value behind the PV glazing is found to be 41.6 W/m2. A similar tendency is observed for the visible light transmittance. Average light intensity measurements from the front and back of TRPVG-Ar16 are reported to be 622.3 and 75.4 Lux, respectively. UVC and UVA measurements reveal that the novel TRPVG-Ar16 technology is capable of blocking 100% of UV part of incoming sunlight, which needs to be noted. The tests carried out for various noise levels also demonstrate that TRPVG-Ar16 is a promising noise absorber. Outside the simulation environment, the noise level is measured to be 84.3 dBA while it is 56.5 dBA for the indoor, which corresponds to about 33% reduction in dBA value.

Bu çalışmada, benzersiz bir fotovoltaik (PV) cam konsepti, ısı yalıtımlı PV cam (TRPVG), tanıtılmakta ve enerji üretimi, ısıl, optik ve akustik performans parametreleri deneysel olarak incelenmektedir. Literatürde yapılan çalışmalarda, yenilikçi bir yapı elemanı olarak TRPVG’nin yüksek ısıl direnç, kendi kendini temizleyebilme ve rekabetçi maliyet gibi çok fonksiyonlu faydalarına işaret edilmektedir. Mevcut araştırmanın kapsamı içerisinde, gelen güneş ışığının UVC ve UVA kısımlarının soğurulması, görünür ışık geçirgenliği ve ısıl radyasyonun kontrolü, farklı gürültü seviyelerinin azaltılması, elektrik üretim performansı ve solar cam boyunca sıcaklık farkı kapsamlı olarak analiz edilmektedir. Testler Nisan 2019’da ısıl direnç için argon gazının PV hücrelerin arkasında 16 mm kalınlığındaki bir boşluğu doldurduğu ve konstrüksiyonun gerisinde düşük emisyonlu kaplamalı ısıl dirençli yenilikçi bir cam ile desteklenen özellikli bir numune için (TRPVG-Ar16) yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar ilk bakışta TRPVG-Ar16’nın iyi bir ısıl yalıtıcı olduğunu göstermiştir. Ön ve arka yüzeyler arasındaki ortalama sıcaklık farkı gelen güneş ışınımının güçlü bir fonksiyonu olarak 16.59 °C ve ümit verici bulunmuştur. Test süresi boyunca ortalama güneş ışınımı 527.6 W/m2 olarak ölçülmüş ve PV camın arkasında ilgili değer 41.6 W/m2 olarak bulunmuştur. Benzer bir eğilim görünür ışık geçirgenliği için gözlenmiştir. TRPVG-Ar16’nın ön ve arkasındaki ortalama ışık yoğunluğu sırasıyla 622.3 ve 75.4 lx olarak rapor edilmiştir. UVC ve UVA ölçümlerine göre TRPVG-Ar16, gelen güneş ışığının UV kısmının %100’ünü bloke etme kapasitesine sahip olup bu durum dikkat çekicidir. Farklı gürültü seviyelerinde yürütülen testler ayrıca göstermektedir ki TRPVG-Ar16 ümit verici bir gürültü emicidir. Simülasyon ortamının dışında gürültü seviyesi 84.3 dBA olarak ölçülürken, iç ortam için bu değer 56.5 dBA’dır ki bu durum dBA değerinde yaklaşık %32.9’lük bir azalmaya karşılık gelmektedir.
