Evaluation of output of transparent organic photovoltaic modules on curved surfaces depending on azimuth

Abstract

The output characteristics of transparent organic photovoltaic (OPV) modules and the transmission characteristics of solar radiation were measured on the horizontal plane, and the availability of combined application of trans}}ptextbf{{arent OPV modules and agriculture was confirmed [1], [2]. In agriculture, OPV modules may be applied on the curved surface of greenhouses. In this case, the output characteristics and transmission characteristics of solar radiation on a curved surface must be clarified. Then, the output characteristics of transparent OPV modules were measured on a curved surface. As a result, the effective use of transparent OPV modules on a curved surface was verified.
