Photovoltaic awnings

Photovoltaic awnings (solar protection panels or blinds)... 

For the photovoltaic awning, the greatest thickness on the same unit width is taken to calculate the thickness of the awning. It is also important to note that the first round winding of the awning fabric is never held. This first round is commonly called round turn.

In 2001 Jacques Lambey filed his patent in France entitled Todes photogen6ratri-ces pour stores, auvents et couvertures de piscines [5]. The awning is composed of rigid encapsulated photovoltaic cells on a substrate, which folds about a polygonal tube. The application was then extended internationally as WO 02/084044 A1 [6]. 

Pascal Goulpie s research team developed an awning with 4.2 m photovoltaic cells based on amorphous silicon (FlexceU). The awning s dimensions were 1.8 m X 3.8 m. The cells have been sewn on fabric from dyed acrylic [7]. The photovoltaic device was tested on the building of Industrial Services of Lausanne, Switzerland.
