Gemini house, Rotating solar house in Weiz, Austria.
The Gemini house features a cylindrical structure with 150 square meters of photovoltaic panels mounted on its exterior surface for solar energy collection.
Roland Mosl developed the Gemini house concept in 1991, leading to the construction of this prototype in Weiz during the 2001 national energy exhibition.
The Gemini house represents the intersection of residential architecture and renewable energy technology, demonstrating new possibilities for sustainable living in Austria.
The entire building rotates to track the sun's movement while the solar panels adjust independently, maximizing energy generation throughout the day.
This first energy-plus house in Austria generates more electricity than its occupants consume through advanced thermal insulation and heat recovery systems.
