Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a multifunctional renewable energy technology that is progressively being applied to buildings . On the other hand, building greening system not only enhances the greenery coverage but also improves environmental quality and promotes carbon fixation through photosynthesis.
Studies have also been conducted to optimize the placement and angles of solar PV panels on walls using parametric study models in Building Information Modeling (BIM). For example, Vahdatikhaki et al. developed frameworks for the BIM-based generative design of PV modules in high-rise buildings.
Fig. 1 shows a concept of the adjustable PV system for integration with solar shading louvers (hereafter referred to as “adjustable PV louver system”). The solar shading louvers are attached to the front surface of the solar PV panel. The adjustable PV louver system automatically changes its angle to track the movement of the sun.
Scaling up the implementation of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) in Shenzhen could effectively reduce the dependence on traditional energy sources and minimize the environmental impact of buildings . Shenzhen is a city with a high population density and limited land area, characterized by a dense concentration of high-rise buildings.
