Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008009916A1] A building component is shown having a substantially rigid support frame (201). In addition, the component has a first substantially transparent or translucent flexible sheet (301) and a second substantially transparent or translucent flexible sheet (302) attached to frame (201) to define an inflatable element. At least one region (203) of the flexible photo-voltaic laminate material is secured to one of the flexible sheets (301) such that when inflated and when constructed the photo-voltaic material (203) generates electrical energy and provides a degree of shading under conditions of sunlight.
