Although most of the solar panels need to be installed on the roof, the majority of us live in a city building with little to no access to the roof. On top of that, most of the "green energy" from utility companies is never 100% green. The energy you get at home will always remain a "grey" mix of both mainstream & renewable energy. To tackle this challenge, Plug & Play Rollable Solar Panel offers the possibility to use the window's surfaces to harvest solar energy. The Solution is a smart solar blinds system that allows anyone to cut their energy bills by up to 50% while getting closer to carbon neutrality. The Solution is connected to an App, enabling users to set a schedule to deploy or retract the blinds. Each stripe has also a sun tracking feature inspired by the Sunflower movements to increase the energy efficiency output by at least 20%.
