Piksol (i.e., a solar pixel) enables creation of arbitrary patterns and images on building’s facades, while at the same allowing for collection of solar energy on them. In other words, it allows for both visually interesting and environment-friendly design of facades.
Moreover, in combination with shadow casting panels, piksols can be used for creation of dynamic facades, which can totally change their appearance during the day, as the sun moves from dawn till dusk..
Piksol is a novel way of decorating sun-facing facades of buildings, which combines the freedom in the visual design of facades with capabilities of collecting solar energy on the facade. A piksol is an object representing a single pixel of an image to be visible on a facade. Source: Drzach & Suchy
