Solar Blinds that Generate Electricity | The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation

In this segment of The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, Mo Rocca speaks with Yevgen Erik, the inventor of SolarGaps Blinds.

SolarGaps are window blinds that generate electricity from the sun. These smart blinds are the first blinds that automatically track the sun and generate electricity from its energy while keeping your home or office cool. Like a sunflower, the blinds move automatically according to the angle of the sun.

Installed on the outside of the building, SolarGaps Blinds provide active shading to reduce air conditioning usage and consequently, reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint. People can also use the generated energy to power other home appliances and devices, and monitor energy usage via the SolarGaps smart phone app. Unused energy can be stored in a battery for later use.

SolarGaps works to make energy free and accessible to all. By exploring innovative concepts and adopting new technologies, their mission is to help move every city closer to Net Zero goals.

Forget the battery. Hooked straight to a car heater would be nice in the winter have one on every window I wonder 🤔
