Patent number: 9133662Abstract: The invention relates to an awning type solar protection device equipped with an electrical power production system, the device including a flexible panel, at least one photovoltaic panel arranged on the outer face of the flexible panel, a furling tube onto which the flexible panel is rolled and a system for tensioning the flexible panel during its deployment or its furling. According to the invention, the proximal edge of the flexible panel is fixed to the furling tube by forming around said furling tube a portion which cannot be unrolled. In addition, electrical connection means are arranged in the interior of the furling tube and pass through said furling tube on the portion of the flexible panel which cannot be unrolled, said electrical connection means being hooked up to the at least one photovoltaic panel at the proximal edge of the flexible panel.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: DICKSON CONSTANTInventors: Christophe Nocito, Laurent Raymond, Francois Boussu

Patent number: 8748729Abstract: The subject matter of this present invention is a rollable photovoltaic composite, used in particular for solar protection, which includes at least one flexible photovoltaic panel and at least one textile panel, on the outside face of which is laminated the said photovoltaic panel by means of a first connecting layer, characterized in that, in the transverse direction to that in which it is to be rolled, and at any level of the photovoltaic panel, it has a thickness that is more-or-less constant, including one or more zones of reduced thickness, the said thickness corresponding to the thickness of the textile panel possibly covered with a film on its inside face, and in that the width is no more than 8 centimeters, so as to eliminate the formation of folds during rolling or in the deployed position.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Dickson Constant S.A.Inventors: Christophe Nocito, Vladan Koncar, Laurent Raymond

Patent number: 8704079Abstract: The object of the present invention is a photovoltaic windable composite comprising at least one photovoltaic cell, a textile panel and a bond layer providing a bonding between said at least one photovoltaic cell and said textile panel. Typically, the exterior side of the textile panel comprises at least two electrically conductive areas separated by a non electrically conductive area, and the bond layer comprises at least two electrically conductive areas emerging on the exterior and interior sides of said bond layer and separated by a non conductive area. Both conductive areas of the bond layer are arranged between the photovoltaic cell and the superior side of the textile panel in order that the positive and negative poles of said photovoltaic cell are in electrically conductive connection with both conductive areas of the textile panel.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Dickson Constant S.A.Inventors: Christophe Nocito, Vladan Koncar, Laurent Raymond
