About Energola Faaupuga Autu: Faamalu Faitotoa Itu
Tusitusiga o le Tusi: O le Energola o se faamalu faitotoa na mamanuina mo pergolas, faapaologa, ma avanoa tioata tetele. O apaau taitasi e ave ai se laupepa micro photovoltaic, o lea la e maua ai le paolo e le faamalu ma e gaosia foi ai le eletise. E taamilo apaau uma, ma e mafai ona faasa'oina le puipuiga mai le la ma le matagi e ala i se mea faaeletonika mamao (remote control). O le faiga o gaioiga e faaosina e le malosi o le la, ma o gaosiga e sili atu e mafai ona auina atu i le fesootaiga malosi o le fale. O le fausaga e faavae i luga o profiles alumini ua faapipiiina (extruded), lea e faigofie ona vaevaeina mo le toe faaaogaina. O le fua masani e 1000 mm le lautele ma le 2200 mm le maualuga, ma e mafai ona suia le tele e fetaui ma mana'oga.

About the A' Design Award Uʻamea
O le A' Design Award Uʻamea na manumalo ai Energola Faaupuga Autu: Faamalu Faitotoa Itu, o se faamaoniga mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu lelei e faataunuu ai manaʻoga faapolofesa ma pisinisi e faamoemoeina mai galuega ua mamanuina lelei. O ē manumalo i le Uʻamea e faaalia ai le tomai tele, le faapitoa maualuga, le malamalama o tagata poto ma le mafai fatufatuaʻi o ē na faia. E faamoemoeina Energola Faaupuga Autu: Faamalu Faitotoa Itu e avea ma mea ua matuā vivii, mataʻina ma pelepelea e aogā ma fou. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Uʻamea e tuufaatasia ai faiga sili o le pisinisi ma e iai uiga faatekonolosi mafai ua fesoʻotaʻi ma le poto ma le taleni. Ona o lona faatuatuaina, e tatau ai Energola Faaupuga Autu: Faamalu Faitotoa Itu ona faaaloalogia ma ua mamanuina e tuuina mai ai faaleleiga o le olaga e fesoasoani e faia ai e le lalolagi se nofoaga e sili atu ona lelei.
Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- 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.

- 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.
