Patent attributes
The invention relates to renewable energy generation and, more particularly, to a cladding system that generates energy from renewable sources. The cladding system comprises, inter alia, a single and/or plurality of renewable energy generating units, such as solar panels, mounted on or integrated into a building's exterior cladding. The renewable energy generating unit(s) are connected to an energy storage system and/or the building's electrical grid, so that the energy generated by the unit(s) can be used to power the building or sold back to the Grid. The invention's features and purpose is to generate energy from a renewable source and allow usage of this energy to either power building resources (e.g. lighting, mechanicals, common areas etc.) and/or to sell the energy to the city grid.
