More about project :
Solar Energy Producing Window Treatments SolarGaps smart blinds automatically track the sun throughout the day, adjusting position to the optimal angles to generate solar electricity to power devices in your home, apartment or office. We engineered SolarGaps with features designed for renters, homeowners and small businesses to affordably reduce energy usage, create renewable energy and transition to energy independence: DIY PLUG & PLAY – With apartment renters in mind, the interior wall brackets are designed as a non-permanent, plug & play solution with additional installation options for homeowners to maximize energy production. ENERGY GENERATING – Built-in solar panels can generate up to 100W-150W of renewable energy per 10 sq. ft. (≈ 1 m2) of a window, enough to power 30 LED light bulbs or three MacBooks. ENERGY REDUCING – In addition to generating solar energy, the window blinds also save energy by shading your home interior and reducing air condition cost by up to 80%. AFFORDABLE – Energy surplus can either be stored in the battery or can easily be sold to your electricity company as green energy through a two-way meter they provide. SMART FEATURES – Easily integrate with smart devices like Google Home, Echo, Nest Thermostat and more to control by voice, temperature and/or smartphone app. The obvious solution for those who can’t (renters) or don’t want to install expensive rooftop solar panels. Check out the 30 second video above to see a quick overview of how SolarGaps works. Have a look at some recent press and media reviews of the SolarGaps smart window shades: “One of those ideas that seems so obvious after you hear about it, because even ‘dumb’ window blinds can save a significant amount of energy” -TREEHUGGER ”Solargaps have created their smart solar blinds to open the window to green energy for anyone and everyone” – DESIGNBOOM ”If you are looking for relief from the heat and from a high electricity bill, this may just be the product for you” – DIGITAL TRENDS ”SolarGaps actually has a shippable product ready with only a few differences from the final product they are promising if the campaign is successful” – ANDROID AND ME ”On display here at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, SolarGaps turns the actual slats of your window coverings into solar panels” – CNET”Your windows become powerful with SolarGaps.” – Techcrunch Not sure what size is best for you? It’s OK, simply use the $249 Reserve Now, Pay Later option for now, then shoot us a comment and we’ll help you choose the optimal quantity and size units… They’re designed to look like traditional window blinds but they’re smart and covered with photovoltaic modules. Current color options are Silver and Black, with others planned as ‘Stretch Goals’ at the $500k level. SolarGaps are the world’s first renewable energy producing window blinds that use solar panels to create electricity to power your apartment, home or office.By replacing your current window treatments with solar energy producing window shades, you can save up to 70% on your electric power bill allowing the SolarGaps to essentially pay for themselves over time. Yevgen Erik (founder) was in charge of building eco-friendly houses and installing blinds in office buildings when the idea of solar blinds came to him. “I spent one day in the fields outside of the city studying how the sunflowers followed the sun…then, I carried out research which proved that although solar modules are the cheapest among all other sources of energy, they are the most effective ones” ~ Yevgen Erik After researching the sun-tracking characteristics of the sunflower plant, Yevgen then experimented with ways to replicate the self-adjusting movements automatically in his blinds. Not sure what perk is right for you? Check out these tables. The photovoltaic cells generate electricity to power devices, store in a battery and/or sell to your electricity company. Ou…
