ECO Solar energy facade
ecocell – ECO Solar energy facade
The ECO Solar energy facade newly developed by ECOCELL acts like a cloak for the building.
An open ECOCELL BETONWABE with an advancing glass façade with integrated photovoltaics surrounds the building. The sun warms this shell, produces electricity and reduces the temperature differential between interior and exterior or even eliminates it. The house is in a warm environment even in the winter and loses no heat to the outside, because if no heat is lost, none needs to be generated. In summer it does not get too warm because the honeycombs cast shade on themselves when the sun is high.
The construction in Uttwil was the first time that we were able to combine the system of transparent heat insulation with photovoltaics. This enables solar electricity to be generated from the façade as well as from the roof – the entire outer shell of the building produces energy.
