🌟 Major Milestone: Solskin Installed on a Swiss Chalet in the Alps! 🏡☀️ We are thrilled to announce that we successfully installed our first commercial pilot project. Last Friday, the Swiss chalet, located in Iltios in the alps of the canton of St. Gallen, received a seamless integration of Solskin on the southern facade! 🏡☀️ This marks yet another significant milestone for our company and shows that even alpine conditions are now no challenge for our system. It also further underpins the great potential our product has when it comes to renovations. The facade integration respects the building’s original geometry, blending in with the alpine environment. With Solskin’s innovative design flexibility, the chalet seamlessly combines its alpine charm with modern sustainability, now capable of generating its own electricity with highest efficiency due to solar tracking. The elegant result is engaged in a fierce beauty contest with the impressive mountain panorama. 🌱🏔️ We are proud to have played a role in transforming this chalet into a functional, energy-efficient living space while preserving its authentic character. If you want to know more about this project, please check our website: https://lnkd.in/e364cBbq We extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible technical and architectural team, whose expertise and dedication made this project a reality: Gabriel Kreuzer, Samuel Bernet, Davide Milone, Marvin Griener, Juliette Hars, Vesna Kosoric, Đorđe Ćebić With heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support of our partners and the building owner! #Solskin #Sustainability #SolarEnergy #Innovation #Architecture #GreenBuilding #SwissAlps #EnergyEfficiency #sustainablearchitecture #solararchitecture #cleantech

Project Update: Successful Installation of KELLER Mock-Up Facade Last Tuesday, we completed the installation of our first mock-up facade for the KELLER Diamant Building! This installation marks a significant milestone as it represents one of the 40 intelligent facade units that will be mounted on our flagship project  next year. This mock-up, standing at 8.20 meters wide and 3.70 meters high, is outfitted with 84 cutting-edge Solskin modules. The installation itself was impressively efficient, taking only three hours, followed by a successful final functionality check.  City authorities from Stadt Winterthur have reviewed and approved the mockup installation, successfully clearing one of the final hurdles for the system's implementation on the KELLER Diamant building. With this crucial confirmation, we now have the green light for the full 1,300m² Solskin facade, which is set to be installed on the KELLER Diamant building as early as next year.The commission of this installation will start a new age of Solar Architecture and redefine our definition of what an intelligent building can achieve.

🌆 Creating Intelligent Skins for Sustainable Cities with Solskin 🌆 As urban density increases, quality of life in cities faces challenges—heat, noise, and air pollution among them. In a recent TEDx talk, Valentin Benjamin Spiess explored the potential of “intelligent skins” for buildings: sustainable facades that generate energy, improve air quality, reduce noise, and support biodiversity. At Solskin, we share  this vision and are working to bring it to life by integrating climate-adaptive second building skins into buildings and our cities. Our solutions not only enhance the aesthetics of built structures with futuristic designs that can feature greenery, integrated lighting, and customizable colors but also provide sustainable solutions adaptable to people needs which are easily applicable to various building geometries,  applications, including facades, roofs and outdoor areas. These innovations improve occupant comfort and experience of space while generating solar energy yield, paving the way for more efficient, comfortable, visually appealing and inspiring urban environments. We encourage you to watch this insightful video to understand the importance of these ideas and how they can reshape our cities and improve urban lives. Let’s shape a sustainable future together! 🌱 Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/e-uRjvvJ #SustainableArchitecture #SmartCities #Solskin #IntelligentBuildings
