Description
Colt PV Solar Panels - Shadovoltaic is a fixed or controllable external glazed solar shading system that may be installed either vertically or horizontally in front of the façade. Photovoltaic cells are integrated into the glass so as to generate electricity.
It may be combined with other Colt products such as rooflights and glazed facades.
A Shadovoltaic shading system can reduce solar heat gain, lower air conditioning running costs, and lessen glare whilst maximising the use of natural daylight.
From our 5 standard carrier systems, Colt can create any number of designs to suit the requirements of any project
Like all of the Colt moving solar shading systems, Shadovoltaic is operated by linear actuators that can be housed within a simple box mullion meaning they are not only discreet, but quick and easy to install. The aluminum and glass louvers are available in various colours, surface finishes and coatings to meet specific design requirements.
Construction
The principal support and control components are manufactured from aluminium and stainless steel. Aluminium extrusions are to BS 1474 Grade 6063 T6.
The glass panels are heat soak tested toughened glass with the edges treated to remove stress. Glass thicknesses of between 8mm and 16mm max are available. The glass specification will be tailored to suit each application, taking full account the project 's aesthetic and performance requirements.
Shadovoltaic PV Solar Panels - Photovoltaic cells may be integrated into the glass, either laminated onto the reverse side of the glass panels or between the two sheets of a safety glass.
