SolarGaps SolarGaps – Energy generating smart solar window blinds

Coordinator: SOLARGAPS LLC (UA)

SolarGaps smart solar blinds is world’s first solution allowing most of the households and commercial buildings to easily utilize window area for efficient green energy generation thus decreasing electricity bill and CO2 emissions. According to the European Parliament buildings today are responsible for 36% of energy consumption and CO2 emissions in Europe, and so Directive on the energy performance of buildings requires all new buildings to be near zero-energy consumption from 2020 onwards. However, the old buildings refurbishment remains the main challenge. From the consumer perspective, in…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

The project runs over approximately 2.4 years from 2019-06-01 to 2021-10-31.
