Abstract: This invention relates to a solar shading module (1) for shading direct sunlight, wherein maximum shading is combined with a high unobstructed view factor by providing an array of m×n shading panels (5) which are moved by a solar tracking system (7) in order to follow the sun. The invention further relates to a glazed structure and a building provided with one or more solar shading modules (1) according to the invention, for instance as part of a fagade or roof of the building. The invention also relates to a method for operating a solar shading module (1) according to the invention, comprising the step of controlling the position of the shading panels (5) such that the normal of the shading panels (5) points towards the sun.

Abstract: This invention relates to a light regulating system comprising a rail, a plurality of lamellae, lamellae support members, a lamellae rotating actuator system, a measurement system, a detector, and a control unit, wherein an operating member is connected to the lamellae rotating actuator system to allow rotation of the lamellae by manual operation of the operating member, and wherein the control unit is configured to operate in a main automatic mode in which the lamellae rotating actuator system is autonomously driven, provided that the detector indicates that the lamellae support members are in a closed position and there is no indication from the measurement system that the lamellae have been rotated by a user.

Abstract: A device for orienting slats relative to the sun includes a housing, an elongate guide which is connected to the housing and in which the slats are engageable and guidable, a drive with which the slats, which extend substantially transversely of the elongate guide, are rotatably drivable about their longitudinal axis, a controller configured to control the drive such that the slats are orientable relative to the sun, and rotational position determining mechanism configured to detertmine the rotational position of the slats. A solar tracking system is provided for orienting slats relative to the sun, and including such an orienting device. A method is provided for orienting slats with such an orienting device.
