Photovoltaic PV Glass Technologies for Smart Buildings and Urban Sustainability Society 5.0: Smart City Initiatives Fostering Quality of Life and Sustainable Development

Abstract

“PV Glass generates free and clean electricity thanks to the sun, turning buildings into vertical power generators”. The Sustainable energy infrastructure refers to the development and implementation of energy systems that minimize negative environmental impacts, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote long-term ecological balance. The goal of sustainable energy infrastructure is to transition from traditional, non-renewable energy sources such as- fossil fuels to renewable and clean energy sources like- solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. Photovoltaic (PV) PV glass is a cutting-edge technology that seamlessly merges solar power generation with architectural design. This specialized glass contains embedded photovoltaic cells that harness solar energy and convert it into electricity. As technology advances and costs continue to decrease, PV glass is expected to become a mainstream solution, playing a crucial role in our transition to a greener and more sustainable future.
