The solar gutter Invisible from the ground level Available in various sizes both for individual and collective habitations; Can also be used on north oriented walls (the collector being oriented south into the drainpipe);

Integration of energy systems in buildings (thermal and/or electrical) The solar gutter Rain water evacuation preserved Canalizations connecting the house to the collector hidden in the drainpipe evacuation. An installation includes several serial connected modules; Each module is about one meter length and around ten centimeters in width (for individual houses)

VOLET’AIR  AIR SHUTTER Test, modelling and optimisation of a solar air collector totally integrated in a shutter Integration of energy systems in buildings (thermal and/or electrical) The PV modules provide electricity for the air fan into the wall

Integration of energy systems in buildings (thermal and/or electrical) The concept of solar air shutter, patented and named volet’air ® produce low temperature heat directly in the house without any other energy supply The solar air shutter  to maintain the first functions of the shutter against intrusion; for the light concealing. Objectives :  to provide hot and dry air in view to cover a part of the heating needs and to maintain a healthy environment in principal residences occupied all the year; in secondary residences no-occupied during a long period; in isolated houses not connected to the electrical grid.
