One square meter of SolarGaps blinds produces up to 100 watts of electricity. If the blinds are located indoors, behind the glass windows, the efficiency gets cut in half. A standard window with an area of two square meters with the external shutters can produce up to 200 watts. That's enough to charge a laptop! If you install SolarGaps in the office buildings with lots of large windows, it is possible to run completely off the grid.

SolarGaps cannot produce electricity at night as solar energy requires the presence of the sun. However, we do include a small power bank with the blinds so you can charge devices via USB. If you install an optional battery storage unit, you can use the electricity you generated during the day at night. If you produce more power than you use, you can earn money by providing electricity to the grid!
