Abstract
A shading textile is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of strip-shaped photovoltaic lamellas which, aligned next to one another or spaced apart from one another in their longitudinal direction, form a continuous product by means of a yarn system, wherein the yarn system is designed to be elastic in at least one direction, so that by tensioning the shading textile, a spacing between adjacent photovoltaic elements can be varied perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
Claims8
A shading textile comprising:
- a plurality of strip-shaped photovoltaic lamellas which, aligned next to one another or spaced apart from one another in their longitudinal direction, form a continuous product by means of a yarn system, wherein the yarn system is designed to be elastic in at least one direction, so that by tensioning the shading textile, a spacing between adjacent photovoltaic lamellas can be varied perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, characterized in that the shading textile, in a tensioned state, comprises openings between the adjacent photovoltaic lamellas which form only when the shading textile is tensioned, or which are covered up by the photovoltaic lamellas;
- wherein the photovoltaic lamellas each comprise a support lamella to which the at least one photovoltaic film is attached;
- and
- wherein the photovoltaic film spans the support lamella from a top side of the support lamella around facing longitudinal edges of the support lamella to an underside of the support lamella.
