NEWSLETTER ShadeportsPLUS!!!... Rolling With The Times, and Keeping Cool About It! So you may ask yourself... When all this talk of new, cleaner, greener energy actually become a practical and economical reality, something we can ALL apply to everyday life? The answer... is NOW. Here on our beautiful island, most would know us as an established SHADE provision company. Our product range consisting of structures and canopy's are designed to protect our customers and their assets against the harmful effects of prolonged exposure to the harsh Cypriot climate, utilizing Polyethylene fabric as the fundamental ingredient in our designs because of its aesthetic qualities, strength, life expectancy, UV protective and waterproofing qualities. What is less known about Shadeports plus is just how diversified and innovative we have become over the years with our company now expanding into new and exciting areas of development whilst not straying from our basic areas of expertise. We currently manufacture in our Geroskipou based factory all the steelwork , woodwork and polyethylene covers, and are currently building a new factory in Aiya Varvara to so we will have the correct space and layout to deal with the new elements of our business. It is largely due to the shift in demand for Green Energy, that our new partners SKYSHADES AUSTRALIA and their affiliates have over the years been developing and perfecting a new 3rd Generation Solar Energy Organic Photo Voltaic Cell that will be easily incorporated in the design of any of the Fabric based shade structures our companies currently produce. It's known as ORGANIC PHOTO VOLTAIC (OPV) technology. |

This revolutionary new solar collecting film, and it is so called because it is produced in rolls much like your old "Kodak" camera film, is set to revolutionize the way we think about harvesting the suns energy. Already being incorporated in the design of large scale membrane structures because of its flexible light weight properties, it’s ticking all the right boxes. NOW, it is not impossible to imagine being able to generate energy out of virtually any type of shade providing structure or canopy. The most interesting points of reference, and whats got us really excited is the fact that at its currently developed level, it is outperforming standard solar units currently on the market in terms of electrical output and it is still a new science! Its producers anticipate being able to extract up to 30% more "efficiency" in energy "output" per year over the next 5 years, which is very significant. Imagine the possibilities if you will, being able to draw energy out of a Carport, an Architectural Sail, a Pergola cover, even something as small as a small garden umbrella without compromising on aesthetics and practicality. We will post updates on OPV thin film technologies on this page so as to keep you all informed about this fascinating new product.
