The high cost of grid electricity in many countries is forcing building occupants to consider other options.
However, most apartment and office buildings do not have enough space for rooftop PV, and façade and balcony PV solutions tend to have a much lower energy output due to orientation and shading losses. For example, output losses for vertically mounted PV could be up to 50% while shading losses could be up to 67%.
We minimise these losses by deploying our specially developed PV slats as adjustable louvre sunshades, which also keep the building cool during hot weather by limiting direct radiance through windows.
