Energy-efficient building PowerShade MicroShade PhotoSolar PowerShade and MicroShade Søren Jensen, R&D engineer, PhotoSolar ApS Contents • Introducing the PhotoSolar concept • Introduction to the products • Advantages of PowerShade • Advantages of MicroShade • Pictures from pilot installations • The Nordea case simulation • More information Conventional solar shading - and the PhotoSolar alternative Conventional solar shading: The PhotoSolar concept: (Exterior lamellas or screens) (Micro-structured shading embedded in front glass) • Efficient • Same efficiency as exterior solutions • Expensive • Competitive price • Cleaning and maintenance issues • Less cleaning and no maintenance Direct solar irra diation is shaded Exterior shading system Outview is allowed – transparent appearance Solar control glass Enlarged picture of micro structured shading foil between sheet glass. 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 70 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. 60 Reference 2D - T=0.52 Maximum effect (W/m2) • Customized design – Size and module layout is customer specified. Full or partial coverage of glass and gradient modules are possible. 50 Reference 2D - T=0.1 40 30 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Solar angle (degrees) 70 80 90 Advantages of MicroShade IG • Robust design – shading integrated in glazing MicroShade Type A • Neutral in colour – no colouring of the transmitted light.
