Research and Development Services
To satisfy our mission of enabling energy sustainability, our goal is to make every facade a BIPV facade, but new coatings and solutions need to prove their value and contribution, both in the laboratory and in real life. SolarLab is therefore always developing and testing new colors, finishes and mounting solutions for our energy producing facade systems, to ensure that they are and remain sustainable, attractive and cost-effective.
SolarLab collaborates with universities and partners around Europe in research and development projects to explore new coatings, finishes and material to satisfy project requirements, understand national requirements and to ensure our solutions surpass the needs of the future.
The Green House in Aarhus and the AAB Ryttemarksvej 2-4 buildings in Kolding are demonstration sites for the EnClose development projects. The new facades are the result of a series of technical explorations tasked to design and develop competitive facade cladding systems with integrated solar cells, to be used in new build as well as energy renovated multistory housing.
The EnClose project is developed by SolarLab with Kuben Management, Department of Built Environment at Aalborg University and Denmarkâs Technical University Department of Photonics Engineering. The project team has many years of experience in the development of new building materials as well as photo voltaic systems, and has received 6.100.000 DKK in funding used to cover the 7600 man-hours in the project.
