About Solarbreaker Primary Function: Qhov Rooj Tsom Duab Fais Fab Los Ntawm Hnub Ci Rau Ntsa Tsev

Solarbreaker yog ib qho rooj tsom duab fais fab los ntawm hnub ci rau ntsa tsev uas hloov cov npoo tsev ua cov khoom tsim hluav taws xob. Cov txheej txheem no yog raws li cov aluminium extruded profiles uas muab cov phaj hnub ci los txhos rau saum. Txhua daim phaj raug tsom rau plaub caug tsib degrees kom muaj kev ua tau zoo dua, thiab ib module ntawm ib square meter tuaj yeem tsim hluav taws xob rau kaum rau lub teeb LED. Kev sib txuas yuav tsis xav tau cov cuab yeej ntau, vim tias cov profiles raug muab tso rau saum qhov chaw txhos thiab kaw los ntawm lawv tus kheej lub hnyav. Cov xov hlau raug muab zais rau hauv cov profiles. Ntxiv rau cov ntsa tsev, tib cov khoom no tuaj yeem tsim cov laj kab, cov thaiv thiab cov ntxaij thaiv qhov rai.

Unique Properties
Our solutions make photovoltaics an integral part of the building. Solarbreaker products make possible to use the entire building facade for energy production without disturbing its aesthetics. The system has been developed to give the greatest configuration options in the simplest possible form. The main application of Solarbreaker are building facades, however, using the flexible capabilities of the system we can build barriers, fences, window blinds or free-standing blinds from it.
Dimensions & Packaging
Basic module dimensions 1000mm x 120 mm x 1000mm
Tags
Solar panels, photovoltaic, facade shutter, architecture, fence
Production Technology
The solarbreaker 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. The solution has been designed to be easy to install. Extruded profiles fold like lego blocks and allow for wide arrangement possibilities.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge of the project was to create a product that would retain its lightness despite the internal electronics and photovoltaic panel
Research
The main research was to develop a product which can be adapted to almost any building. This required extensive analysis of the various buildings and their constructions. These studies have resulted in a design that is very easy to assemble. 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
The main inspiration for the product was the sun protection solutions existing on the market. Large glazed facades, unfortunately, make the rooms get very hot, the sun from the south can be a problem, however, we wanted to turn this disadvantage into an advantage. Solarbreaker allows to use almost the entire building for electricity production and at the same time protect it from the sun.
Project Duration
the project was developed in Warsaw. Conceptual work lasted from november 2018. After many prototypes and tests, the project was finally implemented in January 2020.
Operation Flow
Connecting profiles and building structures requires almost no tools. The structure is built directly on site from components. Finished profiles with photovoltaic panel just need to be put on the mounting and pressed - under the pressure of weight the element will lock. Solarbreaker is equipped with the elements necessary to connect it to the home power grid. Cable connections are hide inside the profiles, therefore the solution is durable and resistant to weather conditions. The 1m2 module will produce enough energy to power sixteen LED bulbs (80wat in total). Each panel is tilted at an angle of 45 degrees, which ensures the highest efficiency.
