Photovoltaic shading systems
Turning shade into clean energy.

Innoly develops solar shading systems that
transform sun-facing balconies, facades and
outdoor spaces into clean energy surfaces.

Space
Opening

Space opening refers to the design concept of creating transitions between interior and exterior environments, often achieved through features like large windows, sliding doors, and open floor plans.

What innoly is

Not a conventional awning. Not a rooftop PV system.

Innoly explores a new clean-energy surface for buildings: photovoltaic shading systems that combine everyday sun protection with local energy generation.

The urban problem

Solar energy is not always a rooftop story.

Apartment buildings receive sunlight every day, but roof space is often limited, shared or already occupied. Solar water heaters, antennas, satellite dishes and technical equipment leave little practical room for individual photovoltaic installations. Yet many of these buildings already have sun-facing balconies, facades and shading systems.

The solar surface is already there. It just does not produce energy yet.

Sunlight is available. Private roof space often is not.

Most residents in multi-family buildings have access to sunlight through balconies and facades, but not to a dedicated rooftop area for solar generation. Innoly focuses on turning these everyday shaded surfaces into part of the energy transition.

The concept
Urban planning iconUrban planning icon

Solar energy, integrated into shading.

Innoly combines architectural shading with flexible photovoltaic technology, creating systems that
protect from the sun while generating electricity on-site. The concept is designed for balconies, facades,
terraces and commercial spaces where traditional solar installations are limited or unavailable.

Landscape architecture

Landscape architecture is a multidisciplinary field that involves the planning, design, and management of outdoor spaces, blending natural and built environments to enhance aesthetic, ecological, and functional aspects of landscapes. It encompasses various projects such as parks, gardens, urban plazas, and waterfronts, focusing on sustainability, ecological restoration, and community well-being.

The concept

Solar energy, integrated into shading.

Innoly combines architectural shading with flexible photovoltaic technology, creating systems that protect from the sun while generating electricity on-site. The concept is designed for balconies, facades, terraces and commercial spaces where traditional solar installations are limited or unavailable.

How it works

Designed to work like a conventional awning - with an energy layer.

When extended, the photovoltaic surface provides shade and captures sunlight. When the user wants open sky, view or more natural light, the system retracts like a conventional awning.

Technology direction

Flexible solar surfaces for architectural shading.

The concept is based on integrating lightweight flexible photovoltaic surfaces into shading systems. The goal is to create a practical, visually clean and scalable solution for urban buildings and outdoor spaces.

Applications

Built for sun-facing spaces.

The concept is designed for places where shading already has value - and where clean energy can add a second layer of performance.

For commercial spaces

A second function for surfaces businesses already use.

Cafes, storefronts and hospitality spaces already invest in shading for comfort, visibility and guest experience. Innoly adds another layer to that surface: the potential to generate clean energy during the hours when the sun is strongest.

Pilot focus

From concept to real-world installations

Innoly is currently in early development and open to pilot collaborations with property owners, apartment buildings, hotels, commercial spaces, installers, manufacturers and clean-tech partners.
