This paper provides a simple calculation method of multilayer glazing system based on transfer matrix method. A new self-cleaning photovoltaics (PV) modules technology is analyzed, which transmittance of self-cleaning PV glazing, the theoretical result was then validated against the transmittance experiment of the PV modules using a Spectrophotometer. The result shows that the average visible light transmittance of self-cleaning PV glazing is about 13%, the average infrared light transmittance of self-cleaning PV glazing is about 29%, and the overall average transmittance of self-cleaning PV glazing is about 21%.
