| DESIGN NAME: Energola PRIMARY FUNCTION: Side Shutter for Pergola INSPIRATION: In modern construction, solar farms can be used practically anywhere, all you have to do is design a suitable solution. We were looking for solutions that use the sun to produce energy in a product that by definition protects against the sun. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The presented side shutter is a multi-functional product dedicated to pergolas, balconies, and large glazed spaces. In addition to the sun protection function, energola also produces energy. Each individual wing has a micro photovoltaic panel. All panels rotate, so you can adjust the sun and wind protection. Mobile energy functions are powered by clean solar energy and production surplus can be sent to the building's energy network. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Energola is a moving product that adapts to current needs. Using the remote control, the user can control the tilt of the wings. Operation is simple and requires no additional power supply. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: the project was developed in Warsaw. Conceptual work lasted from september 2019. After many prototypes and tests, the project was finally implemented in January 2020. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Building Materials and Construction Components Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Energola design is based on extruded profiles. Solar panels are mounted on the main profile. This method of assembly allows to easily separate materials so that the product can be recycled. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The standard module has a width of 1000mm and a height of 2200mm, however, it can be scaled and adapted to the user's requirements. TAGS: Solar panels, Photovoltaic, Facade Shutter, Architecture, Pergola RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The main research was to develop a wing rotation system that would be lightweight, compact and solar powered at the same time. The first tests were made on 3D printed models. The wing loads were tested many times, which allowed the development of aluminium profiles with the required parameters. CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge of the project was to create a product that would retain its lightness despite the internal electronics and photovoltaic panels.
