The advantages of Solarspot®
ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT
COMPATIBILITY WITH PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
FLEXIBLE
DESIGN
Solarspot® uses natural light—available for free all year round—to illuminate indoor spaces during the day, allowing the electricity that would otherwise be consumed to be used for other purposes.
Furthermore, the careful selection of materials filters out infrared (IR) rays, which are responsible for heat transfer; this reduces the energy required for cooling, particularly during the summer months.
Lowering electricity consumption contributes to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
The small dimensions of Solarspot® systems mean they occupy minimal space on the roof, allowing for their installation even in areas where photovoltaic or solar thermal panels are present; this leaves more room for the latter without compromising their efficient operation.
This creates a synergy of objectives and outcomes, aimed at maximizing savings while protecting the environment.
Solarspot® adapts to the architectural possibilities of a building, whether it is a new construction—where paths and openings can be planned from the design stage—or an existing structure.
Solarspot® skylights can serve as a sole source of natural light or as a supplement to traditional openings.
ADAPTABILITY
TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
High light transmission efficiency and a wide range of accessories allow the Solarspot® tubular daylighting system to adapt to the structural configuration of a building, whether by extending its length or repositioning the light-collection point.
Installation is possible even in constrained spaces—utilizing areas such as service shafts or suspended ceilings—and the system can be mounted on either a roof or a wall.
REDUCED
MAINTENANCE
Solarspot® systems do not require periodic maintenance, as the dome—thanks to its hemispherical shape—is “self-cleaning.”
Furthermore, Solarspot® is designed for long-term durability; in the event of damage caused by extraordinary circumstances, individual components can be replaced, eliminating the need to replace the entire unit.
WELL-BEING
AND VISUAL COMFORT
Natural light is synonymous with well-being. Thanks to Solarspot® systems, indoor spaces can be made bright, livable, and healthy, enhancing the physical and mental well-being of those who occupy them on a daily basis.
The choice of materials and finishes for our diffusers ensures that natural light is distributed evenly throughout a space, preventing the discomfort of glare caused by direct sunlight while improving the perception of colors, shapes, and details.
The importance of natural light
The benefits of natural light are truly countless, and the use of Solarspot® provides the means to realize them to their full potential.
​
Natural light is a source of physical and mental well-being: it regulates the circadian rhythm, reduces the incidence of headaches, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and the risk of insomnia; it promotes restful sleep and boosts productivity in the workplace; it allows for the accurate perception of colors and spatial dimensions; it helps maintain high levels of concentration, enhances learning abilities, and improves mood.
Natural light is the quintessential sustainable energy source: by illuminating spaces naturally, it saves electricity during the day while simultaneously helping to reduce CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the use of Solarspot® minimizes summer heat gain (by limiting the transmission of infrared rays—resulting in energy savings for cooling) and reduces winter heat loss. Additionally, the amount of ultraviolet radiation transmitted by the system is virtually negligible, which helps protect people and prevents damage to interior furnishings (such as curtains, carpeting, hardwood floors, upholstery, etc.).
