In addition to regulating the solar heat gain and visible transmittance, windows can also be employed to harvest energy, such as the PV glazing technologies. The SHGC of the commercial thin film PV glazing ranges from 0.123 (double-glazed unit with a-Si) to 0.413 (single-glazing laminate with µc-Si).
