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

In densely built-up urban areas, solar roller shutters not only offer privacy and protection, but also an innovative way of integrating energy efficiency and sustainability into urban life.

From sunlight to light switch: 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 energy generation options. 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: not only do they offer protection and privacy, they 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 stations at the window that actively contribute to the energy balance of your home. In contrast to traditional roller shutters, which only provide 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 plays its part in generating energy.

Contribution to energy efficiency and sustainability

In our projects, we have seen time and again how effectively solar shutters can reduce energy consumption. Not only do they ensure pleasant temperatures in summer by blocking direct sunlight, they also feed the electricity generated directly into the building's grid. 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 more secure. We have numerous customers who rave about the convenience of controlling their roller shutters via app and reducing their energy costs at the same time.

Technical aspects and installation
How solar roller shutters work

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

Requirements for installation 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 considerable energy savings. The residents were delighted with the combination of comfort and contribution to environmental protection.

Cost efficiency and funding opportunities

Investing in solar roller shutters pays off - not only through the 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. At Dosseff GmbH, we 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.
