Solskin is a dynamical multifunctional facade system. It combines intelligent, adaptive shading with solar power generation to optimize energy performance and user comfort. It consists of modular solar units that can be integrated into new or existing facades without altering the original architectural character. The modules can be installed vertically or horizontally and adapt to various design requirements.

Developed through years of research at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich, Solskin is designed to meet the needs of architects and the construction industry while fulfilling the highest technical standards. User well-being (temperature, daylight) and sustainability (minimal material use, renewable energy production, energy savings through AI-controlled shading) are at the core of its design philosophy.

Suitable for both new buildings and renovations, its easily adaptable modular design allows seamless integration with any architectural style, while the prefabricated elements can be installed faster than ever before.

Solskin offers:

Reduces overall building energy demand by up to 80% (depending on climate, location, and facade design)
Local renewable energy generation with sun-tracking technology (up to 40% more electricity than static PV panels)
Enhances user comfort through AI-driven climate resilience shading and daylight optimization, reducing cooling demand by up to 40%
Elegant, dynamic, flexible architectural integration for new or existing buildings

Solskin has received multiple national and international awards, including the Watt d’Or 2023, Product of the Year 2025 from the Society of Façade Engineering (SFE), and the Swiss Solar Prize 2025 – Innovationspreis and Publikumspreis and many others prestigious recognitions.
