Abstract: Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) and building-integrated radiative cooling (BIRC) technologies are popular methods for utilizing renewable energy to address the energy crisis. However, limited facade areas of buildings restrict the amount of renewable energy that can be harvested. The design of reversible radiative cooling-photovoltaic (RRC-PV) module was introduced to address this issue. During the day, the PV side converts part of the incident solar radiation into electricity. At night, the module can be flipped and the RC side emits infrared radiation to the cold outer space, allowing for the free cooling energy exploitation.
