About Energola Matua Mahi: Pōkapa Taha

Kupu Pukapuka: Ko Energola he pōkapa taha i hangaia mō ngā pergola, ngā balconi me ngā wāhi karaehe nunui. Kei ia parirau tētahi pae kāhua whakauru rā iti (micro photovoltaic panel), nā reira ko te pōkapa e homai ana i te taumarumaru, ā, e whakaputa hiko ana hoki. Ka huri ngā parirau katoa, ā, ka taea te whakarite i te whakamarumaru mai i te rā me te hau mā te pūrere whakahaere mamao. Ko te pūnaha nekeneke e whakahaerehia ana e te kaha o te rā, ā, ko te putanga hiko toenga ka taea te tuku atu ki te whatunga hiko o te whare. Ko te hanganga e ahu mai ana i ngā porowhita konumohe (aluminium) kua toromia, ā, ka māmā noa te wehewehe i ēnei mō te hangaruatanga (recycling). Ko te waeine paerewa he 1000 mm te whānui me te 2200 mm te teitei, ā, ka taea te whakarahi, whakaiti rānei kia rite ki ngā hiahia.

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.

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.
