Heat regulation in windows and solar panels. (SUNOVATE)

The focus at SUNOVATE is on the development and integration of infrared light-regulating, pigmented polymer films in solar panels and windows. The films are IR light transmissive at low temperatures, and IR-light resistant at temperatures above 25 ° C. With the building-integrated solar panels, heating of the panels is thus prevented and energy consumption in buildings is reduced by smart regulation of IR light through windows. In this way, SUNOVATE makes a significant contribution to the target of an energy and climate neutral built environment by 2050.
