Here is the solution for those in apartments or rented properties who cannot install solar panels to reduce their monthly power bill. Solargaps have created their smart solar blinds to open the window to green energy for anyone and everyone.
SolarGaps are smart blinds that automatically track the sun and generate electricity from its energy. Simply plug in SolarGaps and solar energy starts to power all devices in your home, apartment or office.
It can even store power in your home battery storage solution so you can use it as an emergency power supply. With SolarGaps, you produce your own electricity to save on your electricity bills by up to 70 percent. With their smartphone app, you can monitor and control SolarGaps from anywhere in the world.
SolarGaps are efficient enough to 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. For example, a three-room apartment with windows facing south will be able to produce up to 600 watt-hours or about 4 kilowatts per day. In an office or retail space, you can generate up to 10 times more.
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 40%. Energy surplus can either be stored by battery or can easily be sold to your electricity company as green energy through a two-way meter they provide.
The solar blinds come with a charging dock for your devices. Easily integrate with smart devices like Google Home, Echo, Nest Thermostat and more to control by voice, temperature and/or smartphone app.
