Abstract

Transmitted external daylight through semitransparent type building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) windows can alter the visible daylight spectrum and render different colors, which can have an impact on building’s occupants’ comfort. Color properties are defined by the color rendering index (CRI) and correlated color temperature (CCT). In this work, a less explored color comfort analysis of N719 dye-sensitized TiO2 based dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSCs) BIPV window was characterized and analyzed after 2 years of ambient exposure. Three different DSSCs were fabricated by varying TiO2 thickness. The reduced average visible transmission was observed while enhanced color properties were obtained for all three DSSCs. This study could pave way to future developments in the area of BIPV technology using DSSC in terms of their long-term exploration.
