About Energola Pani ʻAoʻao

ʻO Energola kahi pani ʻaoʻao i hoʻolālāʻia no nā pergola, lānai, a me nā wahi ākea i uhi ʻia i ke aniani. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ʻēheu kahi pālaka photovoltaic liʻiliʻi, no laila hāʻawi ka pani i ka malu a hana pū i ka uila. Hoʻohuli nā ʻēheu āpau, a hiki ke hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka pale ʻana i ka lā a me ka makani me kahi mea hoʻokele mamao. Hoʻoikaika ʻia ka ʻōnaehana neʻe e ka ikehu lā, a hiki ke hoʻouna ʻia ka hana koena i ka pūnaehana ikehu o ka hale. Kūkulu ʻia ke kūkulu ma luna o nā ʻano ʻāpana alumini i kaha ʻia, kahi hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale maʻalahi ʻia no ka hana hou. He 1000 mm ka laulā a 2200 mm ke kiʻekiʻe o ka modula maʻamau, a hiki ke hoʻonui a hoʻemi ʻia e like me nā koina.

About the A' Design Award Hao

Ua lanakila ka hoʻolālā Energola Pani ʻAoʻao i ka A' Design Award Hao, he ʻike hoʻohanohano i hāʻawi ʻia i nā hoʻolālā maikaʻi e hoʻokō ana i nā koi ʻoihana a ʻoihana hana i manaʻo ʻia mai nā mea hoʻokumu i hana maikaʻi ʻia. Hōʻike nā lanakila Hao i ka mākau nui, ka loea kiʻekiʻe, ka ʻike akamai a me ka hiki hana noʻeau o ka poʻe i hana iā lākou. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka hoʻolālā Energola Pani ʻAoʻao he mea hoʻokumu i mahalo nui ʻia, hoʻohiwahiwa ʻia a aloha ʻia e pono a hou. ʻO kēia hoʻolālā i lanakila i ka A' Design Award Hao e hoʻohui ana i nā hana maikaʻi loa o ka ʻoihana a loaʻa nā ʻano ʻenehana mākaukau i hui pū ʻia me ka ʻike hana a me ka makakoho. Mahalo ʻia ka hoʻolālā Energola Pani ʻAoʻao no kona nānā pono a ua hoʻolālā ʻia e hāʻawi i nā hoʻomaikaʻi ola e kōkua ai i ka hana ʻana i ka honua i wahi maikaʻi aku.

Unique Properties: 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.
Dimensions & Packaging: 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
Production 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.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge of the project was to create a product that would retain its lightness despite the internal electronics and photovoltaic panels.
Research: 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.
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.
Project Duration: 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.
Operation Flow: 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.
