Summary:In order to explore the influence of the arrangement of PV cells on the heat transfer performance of the PV insulating window, this paper uses the finite element calculation software to conduct the heat transfer process of the PV insulating window using the bulk-shaped, square-shaped and stripe-shaped PV cell arrangements respectively Simulation analysis and calculation. The results show that the surface temperature of the PV window using the stripe-shaped PV cells is the lowest, and the surface temperature of the PV window using the bulk-shaped PV cells is the highest. The temperature difference between winter and summer is 4°C and 2.5°C. The former has the smallest comprehensive heat transfer coefficient in summer, which can reduce the adverse effect of PV cells on the building cooling load.
