Product Description
Fixed or controllable glass louvred external solar shading system, designed to reduce glare and solar heat gain, that incorporates glass louvres with photovoltaic cells integrated into the glass so as to generate electricity.

The configuration of the system is determined by the building's geometry, the requirements for solar shading, and by the architect. A wide range of glazing types are available depending on the building's functional and aesthetic requirements. The heat and light reflecting glass louvres are designed to reduce solar radiation, while maintaining excellent visibility through windows.

Either monocrystalline or polycrystalline cells may be used. The photovoltaic cells may be integrated into the glass, either by attaching them onto the reverse side of the glass panels or by laminating them between two sheets of glass (delete as appropriate).

System 1 type (select) type LS1

Glass louvres to be nominally **mm (max. 3000mm) long x **mm (max. 500mm) wide, depending on windload.
The glass is spider fixed to aluminium cast brackets, which themselves are attached to an aluminium torsion tube spanning between the mullions.

System 2 type (select) type LS2

Glass louvres to be nominally **mm (max. 2000mm) long x **mm (max. 500mm) wide, depending on windload.
The glass is spider fixed to aluminium cast brackets, which themselves are attached to the mullions.
