Suntiles generate power and also protect from heat

Devices and gadgets are always being designed on a large scale. But what is more interesting is when such simple gadgets are actually integrated into choicest art forms. Astrid Krogh is one such designer who has understood the need of integrating a simple photovoltaic panel that would have otherwise been lying dully on a roof, into a pretty looking curtain. This curtain called ‘Suntiles’ made of woven solar plates not only collects energy to generate power but also block sunlight and heat. Simple and a well executed concept it definitely is, no doubt.
