an innovative photovoltaic system that fully exploits sun power as sustainable energy. Like a sunflower, the panel follows the position of the sun, without external mechanisms requiring considerable energy to create the solar tracking. A CIGS layer is deposited as ink on six EAP triangles caged in Willow Glass and governed by a steel structure. It is ultra-light, ultra-thin, transparent and applying a voltage of only 4V allows stretching and bending the material, such as a muscle, to turn the panel to the direction of the sun.
The three Neapolitans designers Vincenzo Granata, Anna Dell'Aversana and Pietro Liquori are currently working in research and development of new products that integrate design, innovative materials and advanced technologies. The objective is to merge design culture with innovation to create sustainable products in order to evolve systems and services in the sector of industrial design. One of the strengths of the team is multidisciplinary and multiple skills acquired in the course of their training and experience, which allows them to carry out projects in various fields, moving between architecture, fashion, design and engineering
The course in Design for innovation within the department of Architecture "L.Vanvitelli" at the SUN, has as its objective, to train professionals capable of creating innovation through design and research of innovative materials and technologies.
