Flexible Photovoltaics
HORIZON is a solar folding roof system that turns parking and logistics areas into power plants. HORIZON unfolds when the sun shines, generating climate-neutral electricity and, in the case of parking lots, providing welcome shade. When sunlight fades or wind increases, the system automatically retracts into a “garage.” This protects the installation from weather damage, dirt, and vandalism, and allows for a lightweight, space-saving, and cost-effective design.
In Chur, the HORIZON system was installed over the ARA wastewater treatment plant. It’s the world’s first system of its kind and will now contribute to energy efficiency in power-hungry wastewater processing. Covering the basins in sunshine also reduces algae growth and thus maintenance requirements.
Working closely with dhp’s engineers, NOSE ensured an aesthetic realisation with keen attention to technical detail. As a result, the HORIZON system can be efficiently produced and maintained at low cost. Together, we’re making a contribution to the energy transition.
