Hybrid solar cells integrated glassblock and prestressed panel made of dry-assembled glassblocks for the construction of traslucent building envelopes

A hybrid solar cells integrated structure, comprising,

• a first glass shell comprising a glass block having a planar light transparent surface intended to be exposed to solar radiations;
• a complete dye-sensitized Solar Cell (DSC) module directly fixed to the planar light transparent surface of the glass block with sides normal to the planar light transparent surface extending therefrom, so as to receive solar radiations passing through said planar light transparent surface, said module having electric contacts;
• a hole allowing passage to an external area of the glass block of electrical connections leading to said electrical contacts;
• and
• a second glass shell, wherein
• the first and second glass shells are assembled by a resin joint having holes allowing passage to an external area of the glass block of electrical connections leading to said electrical contacts, wherein said light transparent surface is a light transparent internal surface of the first glass shell.
