Cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin film, which is used as a window layer of heterojunction solar cell, on the glass substrate was deposited by vacuum evaporation. Effects of deposition conditions such as the source and substrate temperature on electrical and optical properties of CdS films was investigated. As the source temperature was increased, the deposition rate of CdS films was increased. In addition, the optical transmittance and the electrical resistivity of CdS films were decreased as the source temperature was increased. This results were attributed to the increase of excess Cd amount in the film. The crystal structure of CdS films exhibited the hexagonal phase with preferential orientation of the (002) plane. As the substrate temperature was increased, the crystal structure of CdS films was improved and the resistivity of the films was increased due to the decrease of excess Cd in film.

The conventional way to acquire sufficient amount of daylight in interiors is to provide large openings with clear glass. The use of clear glass on the whole facade, however, might cause a sort of visual problem because of the harness of direct sun and brighter sky surface than expected. They should be filtered in opticalway or bounced in the architectural. One of the common solutions for the problem might be the use of photometric glasses with various transmittances for the glass walls. This paper deals with performance data related to the impact of various transmittal glazing materials for window systems in terms of daylighting. A series of scale model measurements was carried out with the fundamental configuration of a commonly used all-glass facades. Additionally some experimental performance index was issued for the better expression of the need of natural lighting.

This work is concerned with the fabrication process and photo-response characteristics of Cd S/(p) Si solar cells. In order to fabricate the cell. low grade Si wafer has been used as an absorber and Cd S which works as a window material has been prepared by vacuum evaporation. Cd S thin film, as evaporated, is polycristal and resistance is very high but these properties are improved by annealing. The properties of the fabricated cells are found to depend largely on the transmittance of Cd S. The effects of Cd S thickness and annealing condition on the fill factor and efficiency of the cell are investigated quantitatively.

For various process pressures, aluminum doped zinc oxide(AZO) films were deposited by in-line pulsed-DC sputtering. The deposited AZO films were optically and electrically investigated and analyzed for the window layers of CIGS solar cell systems. As the pressure was increased from 9 mtorr to 15 mtorr, the thickness of AZO was decreased as a result of scattering and its sheet resistance was rapidly increased. The transmittance of AZO was slightly decreased as the pressure was increased and the calculation of figure of merit(F.O.M) was dependent on the sheet resistance. The structural characteristics of AZO thin films analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) showed no significant dependency according to the pressure.

공동주택에서 태양광발전(PV)을 통한 세대 전기에너지 이용은 모듈 설치 면적의 제약으로 인해 전 세대를 대상으로 활용하기에 현실적으로 어려움이 있다. 특히 남향이나 남동, 남서향으로 위치한 거실 창호를 활용하는 경우에도 결정질 실리콘(crystalline silicon) 태양전지 셀로 인한 실내 음영문제 등으로 건물통합형 태양광발전(BIPV) 시스템의 가시성을 확보하는데 한계가 있다. 따라서 이런 문제점을 극복하고자 투광형 비정질실리콘(amorphous silicon) 태양전지를 이용한 발코니창호/커튼월 BIPV 시스템을 구축하고, 테스트베드를 통한 적용성 평가 검증을 수행하였다. 테스트베드는 KCC 중앙연구소 1층 외부 측창에 결정질 BIPV 모듈(A2PEAK 사(社), 최대 출력 210 Wp, W 2,000 mm ${\times}$ H 1,066 mm)과 10% 및 30% 투광형 비정질 BIPV 모듈(Sharp 사(社) See Through type, 최대 출력 135 Wp/123 Wp, W 1,930 mm ${\times}$ H 1,180 mm)을 각각 설치(남서 $30^{\circ}$, 수직 $90^{\circ}$)하여, 2009년 5월에서 8월 사이 4개월에 걸친 모니터링을 통해 실제 발전량 데이터를 확보, 시스템에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과, 설치용량당 일평균 발전량은 결정질형이 1.46 kWh/kWp, 10% 투광형은 1.10 kWh/kWp, 30% 투광형은 0.73 kWh/kWp을 나타내었다. 10% 투광형과 30% 투광형의 모듈 성능 차이는 크지 않으나 발전량에 있어서는 큰 차이를 보였고, 10% 투광형의 설치용량당 일평균 발전량은 경정질형의 75.2% 수준으로 투광형 비정질실리콘 BIPV 시스템의 창호 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 특히 세대 거실 창호를 통한 가시성 확보는 기존 결정질 BIPV 창호의 단점을 개선하였다. 건자재 일체화로 구축된 가시성확보 BIPV시스템 창호는 단위 세대별 적용이 쉽고, 공동주택에서 PV 시스템의 설치면적을 극대화시키므로 향후 Zero Energy 공동주택 구축에도 활용성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

Indium tin oxide(ITO) films coated on the window glass selectively transmit the solar energy and infrared. We call this system passive solar collectors. Selectively absorbing properties of sol gel dip coated ITO films were characterized by UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. The effects of heat treating temperature, time, atmosphere, substrate and barrier layers are concerned. Indium tin oxide films heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ in a reducing atmosphere show intrinsic properties. Efficiency of solar energy transmittance was enhanced by coating of $SiO_2-ZrO_2$ as an alkali ion barrier layer. Energy was saved by the double layers of $SiO_2-ZrO_2$ and ITO since solar energy is transmitted and heat generated inside(${\lambda}$ > 2700nm) is reflected.

CdS thin films for window material of solar cell were prepared by close spaced vapor transport deposition system and annealed at different temperatures. The structural, electrical, and optical properties of as-deposited and annealed CdS films were investigated as functions of substrate and annealing temperatures. The CdS thin films were grown perpendicularly to the substrate along the (002)plane with hexagonal structure regardless of the preparation conditions The resistivity of the CdS film deposited was increased gradually from $60{\Omega}cm$ for $25^{\circ}C$ to $2{\times}10^{4}{\Omega}cm$ for $300^{\circ}C$. The optical transmittance at the substrate temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ was about 80% in the the visible spectrum. The resistivity increased monotonically, and the optical transmittance was decreased substantially with annealing temperature due to the increased defect density in the CdS film.

CdS thin films with low resistivity and adequate transmittance in the visible region for the window of CdS/CdTe hetero junction solar cel1 were prepared by close spaced vapor transport(CSVT) method. The electrical and optical properties of the CdS thin films were investigated in terms of the deposition conditions, such as the substrate temperature, the working pressure, and the source temperature. The substrate temperature, the working pressure, and the source temperature for the optimum deposition of the CdS thin films were $300^{\circ}C$, 100mTorr, and $730^{\circ}C$, respectively. The resistivity and the transmittance of the CdS thin films deposited under this condition were about $7.21{\times}10^{3}{\Omega}cm$ and over 65%, respectively. The crystallinity, the resistivity, and optical band gap were improved greatly compared to the CdS thin films deposited by general high vacuum evaporation.

With the development of industry, fine dust is causing difficulties in various fields such as environment, health, and life, and a large amount of pollutants generated from human social activities are emerging as a serious environmental problem due to air pollution. Therefore, in this study, activated carbon was added to remove fine dust and volatile organic compounds by spinning cellulose acetate polymer fibers on a silicon support using the electrospinning method. By varying the activated carbon ratio and electrospinning time, the fine dust blocking effect and toluene adsorption performance were confirmed according to the activated carbon ratio and filter thickness. As a result, it was shown that the particles were effectively blocked with the increase in the electrospinning time due to the filter thickness increase. Adsorbed amount of toluene was increased with increase in activated carbon amount. Light transmittance was decrease with increase in electrospinning time, showing that there were light transmittance in filters electrospun for 20~30 minutes.

To prevent the low heating effect of heating system caused by the high sheet resistance of CVD graphene, multi-layered graphene was laminated to implement a Transparent plane heating system with good optical properties of low-resistance. Low-resistance plane heating system implemented by $300{\times}400{\times}5mm$ heating plane laminated multi-layered CVD graphene film and PWM control system to drive efficient power. A plane resistance value of $85.5{\Omega}/sq$ was measured on average for 4-layer CVD graphene film used as a heating plane. Thus, the transfer by thermal film as the method of implementing low-resistance CVD graphene is reasonable. The experimental results of heat test show that an average heat-rise rate in low-resistance, transperent plane heating system using CVD graphene is $10^{\circ}C/min$ and has an optical transmittance rate of 86.44%. Therefore, the proposed heating system is applicable to large window glass and vehicle heating window-shild-glass.
