The solar gutter

Invisible from the ground level Available in various sizes both for individual and collective habitations; Can also be used on north oriented walls (the collector being oriented south into the drainpipe);

Integration of energy systems in buildings (thermal and/or electrical)

The solar gutter

Rain water evacuation preserved Canalizations connecting the house to the collector hidden in the drainpipe evacuation. An installation includes several serial connected modules; Each module is about one meter length and around ten centimeters in width (for individual houses)

Integration of energy systems in buildings (thermal and/or electrical)

The PV modules provide electricity for

the air fan into the wall

Integration of energy systems in buildings (thermal and/or electrical)

The concept of solar air shutter, patented and named volet’air® produce low temperature heat directly in the house without any other energy

supply

The solar air shutter

to maintain the first functions of the shutter

against intrusion; for the light concealing.

Objectives : to provide hot and dry air in view to cover a part of the heating needs and

to maintain a healthy environment in principal residences occupied all the year; in secondary residences no-occupied during a long period; in isolated houses not connected to the electrical grid.

An experimental PV wall has been implemented in our laboratory. It is composed by 3 m-Si PV 1.57 kW generators (9 Suntech STP175S-24Ac with SMA Sunny Boy 2100TL) and 3 a-Si PV 0.6 kW generators (6 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries MA 100 T2 with SMA Sunny Boy SWR 700) totally equipped with a measuring system (voltage and current, frequency, solar irradiance, modules and ambient temperatures).
