PowerShades II
The goal of the project is the continued development and validation of a PowerShade window and facade element, which is a strong solar shading and a semi-transparent solar cell. The core technology is an amorphous silicon photovoltaic generator applied on a microstructured substrate.

Results
The achieved results will be vital in the coming realisation of a commercial product. Initial processing steps have been automated, and more efficient tandem-type solar cells have been developed. A damp heat test of an IGU has been carried out without any degradation of the solar cell. The PowerShade module addembly cncept has been further developed and discusssed with different automation equipment vendors and a pick-and-place tool developed. PowerShade's influence on the indoor climate has been modelled and verified by independent entities. The results have facilitated inclusion in state-of-the-art building simulation tools. (Energy 11)
