Abstract: One of the effective strategies to reduce residential energy use is shading devices. Shading devices can be installed adjacent to windows in vertical or horizontal orientations to regulate the amount of sunlight entering a building. This study focuses on Photovoltaic Shading Devices (PVSDs), which combine traditional shading functions with photovoltaic (PV) technology. PVSDs are designed to block excessive sunlight and convert incident solar radiation into electricity, thereby serving dual purposes of energy conservation and renewable energy production.
