We live in an interconnected world, within the era of the Smart Cities. To sustain the ever-increasing amount of technology integrated in our daily life, we need to produce enough energy to power them and, of course, from renewable sources. The idea of using the architectural elements as electricity producers may sound wild, but Vitsolc’s transparent technology can be integrated into the glass windows of building facades to capture sunlight energy while preserving its aesthetic and functionality. Thanks to this technology, we facilitate building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) that favors visual comfort, indoor thermal regulation, and simultaneously produces energy.
We live in a world under constant development, where smart cities arise as the towns of the future with its well-integrated technologies to make our lives more comfortable. A delocalized energy production can increase the resilience and efficiency of our energy provision.
Population density and per capita power consumption are increasing in large residential areas; thus, we need to generate power without invading habitable or cultivable ground.
With the excessive pollution and the global warming, average temperatures are rising in big cities. We need to improve the buildings' thermal insulation, minimizing the energy employed for cooling them down or heating them up. And, most urgently, we need to drastically reduce the use of limited and pollutant resources.
The use of transparent solar cells in buildings add modulation and filtering possibilities for solar light and heat control, and at the same time harvest energy.
Solar energy harvesting does not degrade the visual aesthetic of the building when using transparent cells. By integrating our technology, the two can be combined.
