An impact-resistant, photovoltaic (IRPV) window system is provided. The system may include an IRPV window coupled to a structure, a controller, and an insurance computing device. The IRPV window may include an impact resistant (IR) layer, a photovoltaic (PV) material that may generate an electrical output, and an electrode coupled to the PV material that may receive the electrical output. The IRPV window may permit a portion of visible light to pass through the IRPV window. The controller may monitor the electrical output and generate a solar profile of the structure based upon the electrical output. The insurance computing device may receive the solar profile and determine if an insurance policy associated with the structure is eligible for a policy adjustment and/or an insurance reward or discount offer.
An impact-resistant, photovoltaic (IRPV) window system comprising:
A computer-implemented method for analyzing a solar profile of a structure including at least one impact-resistant, photovoltaic (IRPV) window, the method implemented by an IRPV window system including a controller communicatively coupled to a computing device and an electrical component configured to collect an electrical output from the at least one IRPV window, the method comprising:
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for analyzing a solar profile of a structure including at least one impact-resistant, photovoltaic (IRPV) window, wherein when executed by a controller of an IRPV window system and communicatively coupled to a computing device and an electrical component configured to collect an electrical output from the at least one IRPV window, the computer-executable instructions cause the controller to:
