can i use PV module as window and PVT as building wall in energyplus simulation so that it produce electricity as well as perform as a building envelop?

i want to use STPV as a window material and PVT as a wall for modeling passive house. so that pv can produce electricity as well as influence the thermal performance of building. i know how to simulate pv generation in energyplus but my concern is how it perform when it will be integrated with building construction. please let me know how i can properly integrated PV module as window and PVT as building wall in energyplus thus it perform as a generator and building material perfectly.
