Overview: Semi-transparent PV-modules can be seen as multi purpose, synergetic building elements: apart from being electricity generators they fully need to meet the complex of demands to function as light- admitting façade, window, and roof or shading elements. For the admittance of sunlight an adequate balance between passive solar gains (heating and lighting) and overheating in summer or heat losses in winter must be found in order to reach useful applications. To optimize the design for this type of PV modules the impact of module design parameters on PV-power generation and building physical aspects has been evaluated in this paper.
