ROBIN SUN launches solar glazing, a glass wall producing hot water



Robin Sun is a french company which has developed a system of hot water from solar collectors integrated into a semi transparent glass.The installation of 5 to 7 square meters of the glazing in a wall or glass, preferably exposé (e) to the south to cover 60 to 70% of hot water needs of a family of four, says he says. The annual productivity of the glass is slightly lower than solar thermal because of its installation on the vertical, which is not optimal for capturing the sun's rays. 

The cost, about 1 000 square meter is equivalent to a solar panel.
 


Developed in partnership with the INSA Strasbourg (National Institute of science and technology applied in Strasbourg), this glass solar qualities may be of interest to construction professionals. In addition to the hot water, it provides insulation equivalent to that of a wall of low-energy house, thanks to the sensor and a specific treatment against the glass infrared. 

Robin Sun won a first big contract in Paris to install solar glazing of twenty social housing construction in the district of Barbès in Paris.
