How does a Shadovoltaic Louvre work?

PV cells are integrated into the glass of the shading louvres, either by attaching them to the reverse side of the glass panels or by laminating them between two sheets of glass. Like Shadoglass, Shadovoltaic may be installed either vertically or horizontally in front of the façade or on the roof. It can be either fixed or controllable.

What is a solar roof?
