In Lublin, Poland, on Aug, 24, 2021, Saule Technologies launched the first installation of photovoltaic blinds – sun breakers with perovskite solar cells. This first in the world commercial implementation of perovskite solar cell technology was a collaboration with the client, the company Aliplast.
Three months ago, Saule Technologies was celebrating the opening of its first production line of perovskite solar cells; now, another milestone in its development is taking place – the premiere of solar sun blinds, sun breakers with perovskite solar cells on the Aliplast factory facade in Lublin.
The new commercial product of Saule Technologies, based on the original concept of automatic blinds with perovskite solar cells, was first presented in October 2020. The profiles with solar modules that were placed on the aluminum structure supplied by Aliplast are equipped with an automatic change of position with the sun's movement, developed by Somfy.
“After opening the world's first perovskite cell factory in Wrocław in May, today, less than three months later, we are again making a revolution in the global photovoltaic and renewable energy industry,” said Olga Malinkiewicz, CTO and co-founder of Saule Technologies. “We are entering a new stage in the development of Saule Technologies - the era of commercialization of our perovskite cells. We proudly present our complete product - automatic slats - sun breakers, operating on the facade of our first client's building - Aliplast. This is a special moment for us, crowning eight years of hard work of the entire Saule Technologies team.”
The blinds - sun breakers presented at the premiere in Lublin 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.
As a result of the Animeo automation system from Somfy, the profiles 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.
“The implementation of the system is possible in any building type. Therefore, I believe that this is the beginning of a revolution in the world of photovoltaics,” said Jan Kidaj, president of the management and board member of Aliplast Sp. z o.o.
Saule Technologies perovskite sun blinds can be tailored to customer preferences, ranging from the material used, such as aluminum, wood, glass, or plastics, through shape and width, to color.
