What is it about?
A simulation to examine the type and behavior of air movement from natural convection inside a duct behind a Solar panel. therefore, presenting a method to integrate Solar panels In building facades that combine between better performance for Panels and Buildings alike.

Why is it important?
Better working efficiency for solar cells, and heat extracted from panels could be re-used for building's comfort
Perspectives
It gave me an insight into how to design facades that are multi faceted in nature more interesting and perhaps pleasing
