Effect of diffusion of light on thin-film photovoltaic laminates

A large fraction of the daylight incident on building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) laminates is diffuse irradiance. In this study, fabrics of various weaves were used to simulate combinations of direct and diffuse irradiance on façade-mounted PV. The scattering of light achieved with the fabrics a...
