Optimized Skylight PV System for Comfort

The skylight system optimizes PV electrical generation while providing passive bioclimatic properties for indoor thermal comfort. Most UV and infrared radiation from the sun is harvested by the silicon-based material, providing a solar filter effect. The skylight provides both energy generation and natural illumination on-site while controlling solar heat through its filtering effects, avoiding infrared and UV exposure indoors to enhance thermal comfort and prevent interior aging. A traditional Rajasthani architectural motif called 'jaali' is used as a thermal screen with a 4-foot gap between it and the outdoor classroom walls to reduce direct heat gain, while interior drip channels provide additional evaporative cooling.

The Skylight system ensure an optimized PV electrical generation adding multifunctional

passive bioclimatic properties of thermal inner comfort since most of the UV and infrared
radiation from the sun will be harvested by the silicon-based material (solar filter effect). the
skylight provides a multifunctional solution where not only energy is being generated in-situ,
but also natural illumination is being provided implementing solar control by filtering
effect, avoiding infrared and UV irradiation to the interior(enhancing thermal comfort
and avoiding interior aging).

The second control method is the use of a traditional Rajasthani architectural


motif called the jaali (or jali), which is a stone screen. In this particular building,
the screen is used as a thermal skin between the building and the surroundings.
A 4-foot gap between the screen and outdoor wall of the classrooms reduces
direct heat gain. Drip channels on the inside of the screen also provide more
evaporative cooling.
