Automatic blinds with perovskite solar cells were placed on the aluminum structure, are equipped with an automatic change of position with the sun’s movement, developed by Somfy. The blinds – sun breakers not only protect the building from overheating or cooling down, significantly reducing the cost of air conditioning and heating. At the same time, they produce clean energy from solar illumination. Thanks to the Animeo automation system from Somfy, the profiles with perovskite modules cooperate with the weather station installed on the roofs. Using live weather data and sun-tracking, they automatically change their alignment with the movement of the sun. This solution ensures the facility’s energy efficiency and guarantees thermal comfort and protection against too harsh light for the building users – regardless of the season.
