Solar roller shutters in urban areas: solutions for densely built-up areas!

Solar roller shutters not only offer privacy and protection in densely built-up urban areas, but also an innovative way to integrate energy efficiency and sustainability into urban life.

From sunlight to light switches: The power of solar roller shutters!

Published on
March 25, 2024

In the narrow streets and densely built-up areas of our cities, every square meter is worth its weight in gold - both in terms of living space and the possibilities for generating energy. Here at Dosseff GmbH we have a passion for innovative solutions that not only make urban life more comfortable, but also more sustainable. Solar roller shutters are just such an innovation: they not only offer protection and privacy, but also use every ray of sunlight to generate energy.

Why solar roller shutters?
Advantages over traditional roller shutters

Solar roller shutters are much more than just privacy and sun protection. They are small power plants on the window that actively contribute to the energy balance of your home. In contrast to traditional roller shutters, which only offer passive protection, solar roller shutters harness the power of the sun and lead us into the future of living: a life in which every household contributes its part to energy production.

Contribution to energy efficiency and sustainability

In our projects we have repeatedly noticed how effectively solar roller shutters can reduce energy consumption. They not only ensure pleasant temperatures in summer by blocking direct sunlight, but also feed the electricity generated directly into the house network. This reduces the need for externally sourced energy and thus supports a more sustainable energy model.

Integration into smart home systems

Modern technology makes it possible: solar roller shutters can be seamlessly integrated into smart home systems. For example, they can be controlled automatically to further increase energy efficiency or to make the house safer. We have numerous customers who rave about the convenience of controlling their roller shutters via an app while reducing energy costs.

Technical aspects and installation
How solar roller shutters work

The highlight of solar roller shutters is the photovoltaic modules that are integrated into the slats. These modules capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. The installation is just as straightforward as with conventional roller shutters, but requires an expert hand to ensure maximum efficiency.

Installation requirements in urban areas

In densely built-up areas, some special features must be taken into account, such as the orientation of the windows to the sun or potential shading from surrounding buildings. Our experts at Dosseff GmbH analyze each location individually to find the optimal solution.

Case studies and application examples

We carried out a particularly impressive project in a densely built-up area where we were able to help an apartment building achieve significant energy savings. The residents were enthusiastic about the combination of comfort and contribution to environmental protection.

Cost efficiency and funding opportunities

Investing in solar roller shutters pays off – not only through energy savings, but also through government subsidies. We advise our customers in detail on the available options and help to minimize the financial outlay.

Future prospects and innovations

Development in the field of solar roller shutters does not stand still. We at Dosseff GmbH keep our finger on the pulse to provide our customers with the latest technologies. The future promises even more efficient systems that will revolutionize urban living.

FAQ
