ArabiaWeather.com- The Portuguese company “Casas em movmento” designed a house covered with photovoltaic cells that tracks the sun’s rays, moving towards it to absorb the largest amount of its heat and convert it into electrical energy that is stored. The company aims to create sustainable buildings in an innovative manner.

 

The project, dubbed "The Sunflower Effect", includes two motion systems, one of which is the rotation of the house itself by a degree of inclination of 180 degrees during the day, and the second is the rotation of the photovoltaic cells installed on the roof of the house by about 90 degrees, to ensure that the house follows the direction of the sun in all seasons of the year and during the hours of the day. .

 

The company added that these two systems produce electric energy of 25,000 kilowatt-hours per year, which is 5 times the electrical energy needed by a house of its size, noting that the house is programmed to track and monitor sunlight to move and rotate in its direction.
