本研究希望將波導膜放置於薄膜型太陽能透光模組外側，透過模組外電力提升技術來達到增加發電量之目的，改善薄膜型太陽能透光模組應用在 BIPV 建築形式中立面部分發電效果較差的問題。
由實際研究結果可知，覆蓋波導膜於外側的薄膜型太陽能透光模組在東南西北向的立面單日發電量均有提升，以南向相較無覆蓋波導膜的薄膜型太陽能透光模組提升了 9.25 %的單日發電量為最，物理防衝擊能力也提升了 4.74 倍之多，既能提升發電量，還能額外提供表面保護能力避免脆性的太陽能透光模組因外力作用下而損壞；在軟體模擬中所增加的發電量也可以轉換為減少了 148 噸的碳排放，除了能幫助使用者減少碳稅支出外更可以幫助使用者達成現如今提倡的 ESG永續環境指標。
本研究所使用的波導膜為一種透明和具彈性、可撓性和高透視效果的高分子材料，市場普遍會將其應用在光纖元件、精密折射材料或電路板基材等光電領域，近年來因為波導膜具優異的折射性質以及可蝕刻性所以也開始被應用於太陽能產業，包含最新的 YouBike 2.0 也有使用波導膜於太陽能面板之中。本研究會單從波導膜的材料性質開始做實驗，並與沒有覆蓋波導膜的薄膜型太陽能透光模組做發電量比較，最後在使用發電耗能軟體做模擬分析，故本研究主要會有六個試驗，分別是材料基本性質試驗、可行性評估試驗、室內光熱學試驗、戶外發電量監測試驗、防撞擊試驗以及軟體方面的節能模擬試驗，透過以上六種試驗來分析波導膜對於薄膜型太陽能透光模組在立面部分的增益效果，進而去探討對經濟及環境所帶來的影響。

The reasearch is maimly to increase the power generation of thin-film solar
transparent modules in the facade portion of BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics)
applications by placing a waveguide film on the outer side of the modules using the
module exterior power enhancement technique.
The waveguide film used in this study is a transparent and flexible polymer
material with high transmissivity, flexibility, and a perspective effect. It is commonly applied in optoelectronics fields such as fiber optic devices, precision refractive materials, or circuit board substrates. In recent years, due to its excellent refractive properties and etchability, waveguide films have also been applied in the solar energy industry, including the latest YouBike 2.0, which uses waveguide films in solar panels.
This study begins with experimental investigations of the material properties of
waveguide films and compares the power generation with thin-film solar transparent
modules without waveguide film coverage. Finally, simulation analysis using power
generation and energy consumption software is conducted. Therefore, this study mainly
consists of six experiments: material basic property tests, feasibility assessment tests, indoor photothermal tests, outdoor power generation monitoring tests, impact
resistance tests, and energy-saving simulation tests using software. Through these six experiments, the gain effect of waveguide films on the facade portion of thin-film solar transparent modules is analyzed, and the impact on the economy and the environment is explored.
Based on the actual research results, it is found that covering waveguide films on
the outer side of thin-film solar transparent modules enhances the daily power
generation in all four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west). Among them, the south-facing module with waveguide film coverage shows the highest increase in daily power generation, with a 9.25% improvement compared to the module without
waveguide film. The physical impact resistance is also increased by a factor of 4.74,
providing surface protection to prevent damage to fragile solar transparent modules due to external forces. The additional power generation achieved through software
simulation can be converted into a reduction of 148 tons of carbon emissions. In
addition to helping users reduce carbon tax expenses, it also contributes to achieving the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) sustainability targets.
