• Efficient
• Same efficiency as exterior solutions
• Expensive
• Competitive price
• Cleaning and maintenance issues
• Less cleaning and no maintenance

PowerShade and MicroShade
Product Introduction
PowerShade IG – Combined solar shading and transparent photovoltaics
•
Shades excess solar radiation from the facade and converts to green power
•
Novel and patented photovoltaic technology with improved efficiency
•
Fully integrated in double or triple layer glazing
•
Strong shading character
MicroShade IG – Glazing-integrated solar shading
•
Efficient shading – may replace exterior shading devices
•
No maintenance and reduced need for facade cleaning
•
Robust structure
Advantages of PowerShade IG
• High Efficiency – The 3D PV technology provides more
power than 2D PV modules with same transparency.
• Neutral in colour – no colouring of the transmitted light.
Reflected colour is dark gray or black (outside view).
Electrical effect on facade - comparison
Conversion efficiency: 7%
Vertical installation
Beam intensity: 1000W/m2

PowerShade 3D - T=0.52
• Electrical output – 50 kWh/m2 per year when mounted
in vertical facade.
• Simple installation and robust products – no moving
parts, sensitive parts are protected by glass structure.
• Clean technology – no hazardous waste.

Advantages of MicroShade IG
• Robust design – shading integrated in glazing
MicroShade Type A
• Neutral in colour – no colouring of the transmitted light.
Reflected colour is dark gray or black (out side view).

• Progressive shading – effective g-value in the range
from 0.12 to 0.36. Low in summer – high in winter.
• Simple installation and robust products – no moving
parts, sensitive parts are protected by glass structure.

Pilot installations and testing - MicroShade
• Test programme – thermal performance has been
tested by the Danish Technological Institute in full-scale
installations for more than 18 months.
• Manufacturing technology has been tested
independent glazing manufacturers with succes.
by
• EN1279 testing in progress – final approval expected in
December 2008.
• 25 m2 of prototype glazing has been installed and
subjected to visual judgement by more than 100
independent valuators.
• MicroShade IG is ready for sale – project orders are
accepted by PhotoSolar and initial glass industry
partners.

Direct conclusions of the Nordea case
•
The shading efficiency of PowerShade and MicroShade nearly
equals the existing solution on the building in which both
external blinds and solar control glass is used.
•
PowerShade and MicroShade provides more shading than
solar control glass – and may replace exterior shading
devices.
•
The temperature profile is equal to that found for the existing
solution.
•
The comfort profile is identical to that of the existing solution
and better than solar control glass.
•
The potential power production of the PowerShade module
approximates the need for electrical energy to drive the cooling
of the building.
