The matrix was made with Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and a layer of PPE were added for the protection of the photovoltaic cell. Twelve cells divided into four strings were included in parallel with each of the three cells in series. The composite material underwent a thermoforming process using metal conformers.
The reinforcement layer was made with Biotex Flax, with a 400 g/m 2 twill texture. The matrix was made with Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and a layer of PPE were added for the protection of the photovoltaic cell. Twelve cells divided into four strings were included in parallel with each of the three cells in series.
The solar cell has four corners with defects, and the cutting is a vertical quarter cut (as shown in the Fig. 2 ). The special characteristic of monocrystalline silicon solar cell causes the upper and lower cell’s area will be slightly smaller than 1/4 of the normal solar cell. At the same time, the solar cells are set in series.
Some of the hardware components were updated in the SLICE 2.0 prototype. Specifically, a higher capacity battery was introduced, as it was considered more adequate for the new prototype while the charging circuit for the connection of the sample with the photovoltaic cells was maintained.
This paper presents an innovative prototype called SLICE, which concerns research on adaptive building envelopes established at the University of Catania for several years. The development of the SLICE prototype is part of a national research project called EWAS—An Early Warning System for Cultural Heritage.
The development of the SLICE prototype is part of a national research project called EWAS—An Early Warning System for Cultural Heritage. In this research, the use of SLICE in the context of office buildings is also tested. SLICE is an acronym for “Solar Lightweight Intelligent Component for Envelopes”.
