Solar Windows Blinds

Introduction

SolarGaps is the first smart external blinds with photovoltaic panels that automatically track the sun and
generate electricity from its energy while keeping the inside of your building cool.

Generate energy from solar cells, offsetting energy consumption
Block heat energy coming from the sun before it enters the building
Smart control integrate SolarGaps 3 into your building management system

Why Solar Gaps ?

BLINDS

The SolarGaps system consists of solar panels connected by a durable steel cable or by rigid guides to ensures secure attachment, even when the wind is strong. These facade blinds fully retract for a clean appearance and are protected by a headbox.

PANEL

We always choose what is best for our product and that is why we use SunPower C60 solar elements made of laminated monocrystalline silicon cells with 22,4% efficiency. Embedded in the swiss aluminum panels, SunPower solar elements with ETFE coating allow the solar panels to reach 100 Watt capacity per each 1 sqr meter during the daytime. The surface of the solar elements is designed to ensure easy cleaning when it is necessary, even though most of the dirt is being washed off naturally by rain and snowmelt.

MOTOR

Electronic management device (EMD), invented by SolarGaps, is responsible for the slat position, enabling a “smart tracking” feature, and controls electricity generation, as well as transmits data from the blinds to the cloud platform and mobile application. To full fill these functions most efficiently we use a high-quality Somfy motor to work in connection with theSolarGaps EMD. The sturdy Somfy motor is powered by electricity operating in -20°C temperatures.

Controlled by electronic module
Operates from -20 to 70°C
Quiet operation (50 DB)

INVERTER

The direct current (DC) energy generated by a solar panel is not useful on its own as most households and offices using alternating current (AC). A solar inverter or a photovoltaic (PV) inverter converts DC energy into AC energy for powering appliances connected to the grid.
