In both form and function, these solar blinds are very similar to conventional curtains – except that they also generate power.

A shading system that also generates electricity, a management system that controls solar power, a new mounting system for pitched roofs and an agile and maneuverable cleaner for tracking systems. Here are our top products of the week:

The start-up SunCurtain from Kitzingen in southern Germany has developed a solution in which curtains become an electricity generator. With the help of an innovative shading system, electricity is generated from sunlight and made available to the user.

The NRGkick Connect charging unit enables charging using photovoltaic technology. An open-source web API as well as over-the-air update capability make NRGkick Connect open and future-proof.

Van der Valk have a new product for mounting their ValkPitched systems on corrugated roofs in their product portfolio. The ValkPitched mounting bracket.

With tracker systems, the solar modules follow the position of the sun during the course of the day and thus ensure greater efficiency. However, the different angles and orientation make cleaning much more difficult. (mfo)
