Adhering to the architectural design concept of "coexistence of an ancient city and modern design" and incorporating new technologies like green energy—cadmium telluride thin-film solar photovoltaic glass—the interior design also meets the functional requirements of exhibitions and conferences. YANG has created a simple, bright, and artistic space through minimalist modern design, suitable for hosting a variety of events. Read More

Advantages of Cadmium Telluride Photovoltaic Glass CdTe solar photovoltaic glass offers several key advantages that make it stand out in the competitive photovoltaic market: High Efficiency: CdTe solar photovoltaic glass performs excellently in high temperatures and low light conditions with conversion efficiencies reaching 22.1% in laboratories and commercial products typically ranging between 15% and 18%. This ensures high power generation performance under variable light conditions, making it especially suitable for tropical and subtropical regions. Read More

Leveraging the inherent technical and application advantages of cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells, TERLI has strategically positioned itself in the BIPV sector. To date, we have successfully developed eight major categories and over 50 types of BIPV building materials, including solar curtain walls, solar roof tiles, solar bricks and solar glass railings. These products are adaptable to various building applications, providing true alternatives to traditional construction materials and effectively reducing building energy consumption and carbon emissions.

In this competition, the solar residences of the eight university teams showcased innovative applications of cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic (PV) power generation building materials. Various architectural photovoltaic integrated applications, such as solar glass sunrooms, solar curtain walls, solar glass railings, solar skylights, solar sunshades, solar roof tiles and Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) integrated roofs, were observed in these solar homes. Each team demonstrated profound wisdom by designing solar residences that are both functional and comfortable, presenting a fresh perspective on solar energy technology. Read More

Solar facades are a great solution, let alone energy generation, it provides plenty advantages: facade insulation, façade and balcony glazing, additional thermal properties, noise reduction (8-12 decibels of reduced traffic noise can be expected from balcony glazing). Solar facade modules can also be integrated to existing building facades, modernizing them and turning them energy efficient. Read More

Due to the increase in electricity demand in Europe, solar power generation has certain advantages in various types of production of electrical energy. In response to Europe's old house renovation policy and traditional photovoltaic solar panels, we launched a new building material - cadmium telluride thin film solar photovoltaic glass. In the face of declining wind power generation and high electricity prices, we can add value to the European electricity market and reduce additional high electricity costs. Read More

Why do buildings matter for clean energy transitions? Read More

BRUSSELS, March 14, 2023 (Reuters) - Buildings across Europe could be renovated to cut emissions and save energy after the European Parliament on Tuesday approved a bill that aims to lower households' energy bills and wean EU countries off Russian gas faster. "Soaring energy prices have put the focus on energy efficiency and energy saving measures. Improving the performance of Europe’s buildings will reduce bills and our dependence on energy imports," said Ciaran Cuffe, lead lawmaker on the rules. According to the Commission buildings are responsible for around 40 percent of energy consumption and around a third of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. If houses are better insulated or modern heating systems are used, this can significantly reduce energy requirements. Read More
