Palm Beach, FL.-(BUSINESS WIRE)—GO OPV, a leading printed semiconductor zero emission
power generation company delivering ORENgE® power solutions, and MechoShade Systems
(“Mecho”), the global leader in commercial window coverings including the Mecho
Electroshade®, introduce an ORENgE powered ElectroShade (“ORENgE®” x ElectroShade®) a
revolutionary new design for zero emission power production and superior solar heat gain
reduction. ORENgE x Electroshade is the first motorized rolling printed semiconductor shade
that incorporates commercial National Electric Code (NEC) industry standards for delivering
Class 2 direct DC zero emission power and light absorption to reduce carbon footprint from heat
gain reduction.
The innovative ORENgE x Electroshade allows users to operate the shades (and potentially
other accessories) with self-powering ORENgE printed semiconductor films. The energy
generated by the film can leverage 24/7 DC battery storage solutions either standalone or
coupled with low voltage DC Power over Ethernet (PoE) for low voltage power and data
distribution. The self-powering shade employs Mecho’s award winning ElectroShade hardware,
supporting multi-banded rollers up to 72” wide and 120” tall and producing up to 100 watts of
Class 2 zero emission power per shade – power not only for the motorized roller shades, but for
the broader facility e.g., lighting and other peripherals.
ORENgE x Electroshade semi-transparent design enhances the aesthetic of a buildings’ façade
as the ORENgE film is symmetrical with window glazing from the outside view; and allows for
reduced glare and reduction of solar gain from the absorption of visible and near infrared light,
transforming the excess heat into zero emission power from the inside of the building.
ORENgE x Electroshade can be equipped with SolarTrac, Mecho’s state-of-the-art, scalable
solution for window shade automation. Mecho’s shading automation solutions are ideal for use
in a wide range of applications, including large commercial offices, higher education buildings
and healthcare facilities, to optimize the application of natural daylight for occupant and building
performance.
ORENgE x Electroshade is eligible under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for tax credits and
other incentives that allow companies and institutions to continuously make advances to meet
zero emission goals and mandates.
