Smart Nano Film™ is a fully transparent Nano-structured coating that reflects the heat contained in the incoming light and keeps Smart Nano Film™ is a fully transparent Nano-structured coating that reflects the heat contained in the incoming light and keeps surfaces clean. The film is made of two layers stacked upon each other: the bottom is an optical filter, which reflects the heat-carrying portion of the light, while the top is a highly hydrophobic surface, which substantially reduces water and dust accumulation.
Our plan is to commercialize the nanostructured film as a standalone product for the specific application of building integration for heat insulation and design purposes. When modelled to reflect away the heat-carrying wavelengths of light while being permeable to the rest of the light spectrum, the foil can be applied to window facades in buildings as well as car windows to improve heat insulation
Tile is a building component that generates electricity out of sunlight. Similar to our solar module it consists of a 3-cm thick aluminum box that integrates SBs’ holographic film and silicon stripes. The tile is mounted on rotating tubes, which follow the apparent motion of the sun to generate electricity throughout the whole day. SBs tiles can be installed both in vertical and horizontal configurations.
The SBs’ Tile is an elegant solution for exterior building design, which generates electricity with extraordinary efficiencies of up to 20%.
• 30% more energy than fixed tilesThe SBs’ Tile follows the apparent motion of the sun and therefore generates more electricity than fixed solar tiles.
• Modular and PracticalThe SBs’ Tile can be adapted to any building size as there is no limit to the number of tiles that can be connected in series.
• Low CostThe SBs’ Tiles are less expensive than standard solar tiles as they use only a portion of the silicon (silicon is the most expensive component in solar tiles).
