ZigZagSolar
Solar facade for energy efficient buildings
ZigZagSolar is an energy harvesting Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) system unlimited in every aspect of design & engineering. Zigzagsolar is the next generation energy-harvesting architectural facade with all the pros of both a PV-system and an architectural facade. Harvest energy in a future-proof and aesthetically pleasing design maintaining maximum freedom of design for architects. By a combination of pv-panels facing the sun and tilted decorative panels the electric yield will be increased and the solar panels will be invisibly integrated into the building.
