Photovoltaic sun awnings
AIM Solar sunshade awnings are a sunshade and photo voltaic installation in one. The best location for a sunshade is also an optimal place to install a solar system, though traditional, fixed installations are not suitable for this purpose. Hence, AIM Solar has developed an Adjustable Inclination Mounting system (patented) that allows solar panels to be installed on building facades.
By installing the AIM Solar systems above windows, or (sliding) glass doors they also double as a solar shade, keeping your home’s interior cooler during the summer. During the darker winter months you will want to let the daylight in as much as possible. The AIM solar system folds towards the wall to minimize the shade during winter. As an added benefit, this results in a much more favorable inclination of the solar panels to catch the sun when it is low in the sky, optimizing electricity production during both summer and winter.
Summer
During the summer, the temperature inside can rise quickly as a result from direct sunlight. In the summer position the AIM Solar system catches most of the direct sunlight to convert it into energy and keep your home cool at the same time. As an added benefit, you will save money as the need for air conditioning and fans is diminished.
Winter
During the winter you will want as much natural (sun)light in your home as possible. As the AIM system folds tightly onto the wall, sunlight can enter unimpeded to allow for passive heating and optimal wellbeing. In the vertical position the solar panels are aimed towards the low winter sun, increasing electricity production.
Advantages
- Higher electricity production, lower consumption
- Cooler inside during the summer
- Passive heating in the winter
- Also suitable for highrise (no roof space required)
- Durable, designed to match your solar panel’s life expectancy
- Very robust construction
The AIM Solar system increases electricity production from your solar panels, improves comfort and lowers power consumption.
