Solar Panels in New Technology

This month, Custom Window Decorators is blogging about solar panels in new technology for Belgrade, Maine, and surrounding communities. Solar powered blinds are a type of smart blind, as we described in October. Smart blinds are easy-to-use. They integrate with security systems, and are simple to clean. The only downside to smart blinds is they operate using electricity, which is a fossil fuel. Solar powered blinds that use solar energy are different. Rather than using fossil fuel-generated electricity, the sun’s energy operates the solar panels.

Solar powered window treatments work by using solar panels – a sun-based board system that’s mounted out-of-sight. The solar panels confront outwards, so that the sun’s rays make contact with them. Then, the solar powered unit interfaces with battery-operated motors, both hardwired or wireless.

Using solar powered window treatments can reduce energy bills in Belgrade, Maine, by 70 percent. They harness the sun’s energy rather than emitting greenhouse gasses. Solar powered technology is, therefore, practically pollution-free and, conversely, helpful for the environment.

When using solar energy via window treatments, you don’t just save money … you can generate electricity in Belgrade, Maine. SolarGaps are smart blinds that automatically monitor the sun’s position throughout the day. The blinds adjust their position accordingly, to angles that produce electricity using solar energy. This enables you to use solar energy through your window treatments to power electronic devices throughout your office or home.
