As a novel product that combines both solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technology to provide heat and power generation in a single solution, Naked Energy''s VirtuPVT was described by the judging panel of the CIBSE Building
Whereas in the 1-axis panel, the tilt angle of the PV panel for the vertical axis is directed to form an angle of 70°. The horizontal tilt angle is not fixed because the horizontal

East-west vertical bifacial fixed-tilt PV arrays have competitive performance with south-facing panels in at high lati- tudes (Jouttijarvi et al., 2022; Pike et al., 2021), and are also being
Vertical bifacial photovoltaic (PV) systems are gaining interest as they can enable deployment of PV in locations with grid or area limitations. Over Easy Solar has developed a lightweight design for vertical bifacial systems for flat roofs employing small modules with the height of one cell.
The Over Easy Solar vertical bifacial PV unit (VPV Unit) consists of a support structure and a specially designed module with the height of one cell, as shown in Figure 1. The aim of this design is to make an easily installed, lightweight (the system is ballast free), vertical bifacial system for flat roofs.
To deal with this issue, the concept of photovoltaic (PV) pavement is emerging , . It regards the modified photovoltaic modules as one part of the road structure, equipped with the inherent function of electricity generation and vehicular traffic support. The core advantage of this technology is the non-extra land occupation.
Li et al. proposed a pavement integrated photovoltaic pavement (PIPVT) system and developed its relevant mathematical model . Based on the real meteorological data in Shanghai, the simulation results showed 0.62 kWh of electricity and 1.36 kWh of heat could be generated by two mentioned PIPVT modules on a typical sunny day.
A specific structure was designed to optimally direct the sunlight on the solar cells. Besides, some extra functions such as LED lighting, heating, and inductive power transmission were also equipped. China is devoted to developing PV pavement and has launched several demonstration projects.
Piezoelectricity is another general technology that cooperated with the PV pavement. In 2012, Selvaraju et al. introduced an auxiliary energy system employing piezoelectric transducers for solar roadways . The optimal location of piezoelectric elements was determined based both on COMSOL analysis and vibration experiment.
