Ballesta® Fixed Solar Shading System
Product Description
While the sun brings light to the Earth, it also brings a great deal of heat. The primary purpose of using sunshade products is to block this heat, making people more comfortable and reducing the energy consumption caused by air conditioning use.
Modern urban architecture emphasizes high light transmittance. While providing excellent natural lighting, it also offers a higher level of comfort in use due to its visual transparency. However, the extensive use of glass curtain walls has significantly increased the air - conditioning energy consumption of buildings in summer. The design of high - end sunshades aims to strike a balance between natural lighting and blocking light and heat.
How to design an appropriate solar control system
Typically, the corresponding incident angle is calculated based on the altitude of the sun when it reaches a certain intensity during the spring and autumn seasons at the project location, and then the required size of the sunshade baffle is determined. The incident angle is higher in summer, while the intensity of sunlight is lower in winter.
The shading effect of horizontally installed louvered sunshades depends on data such as blade width, blade angle, and blade center distance. Designers can adjust these data interactively according to the lighting conditions at the project location. The purpose is to allow all light with an angle smaller than the minimum visible angle to enter the room to ensure natural lighting, while blocking light with an angle larger than this, so as to control direct light and heat within a certain period.

How to cooperate with Ballesta at a very early stage of a project to develop a solar shading system?
You can share all the materials you have with us, including renderings, CAD drawings, SKU models, Rhino models, and so on. At the same time, you also need to provide the location of your building—specifically, which country and city it is in. Based on the geographical location of the project, we can obtain the daily sunlight duration throughout the year for each facade of the project, as well as the sun's altitude and incident angle at any given time. This will be an important basis for us to carry out sunshade design and select the type of sunshade products.
