Zusammenfassung:A building component is shown having a substantially rigid support frame ( 201 ). In addition, the component has a first substantially transparent or translucent flexible sheet ( 301 ) and a second substantially transparent or translucent flexible sheet ( 302 ) attached to frame ( 201 ) to define an inflatable element. At least one region ( 203 ) of the flexible photo-voltaic laminate material is secured to one of the flexible sheets ( 301 ) such that when inflated and when constructed the photo-voltaic material ( 203 ) generates electrical energy and provides a degree of shading under conditions of sunlight.
