Abstract
A removably mountable blind-type curtain is provided which includes a plurality of blinds removably securable to a curtain support. One or more of the blinds have a solar module secured thereto for converting solar energy to other energy. The blinds are connected to one another in a cable-free manner. An energy storage device is connected to the blinds for storing energy generated by the solar modules and an energy power take off device cooperates with an energy receiving device to effect the transfer of energy from the blind-type curtain to the energy receiving device. The energy storage device and the energy power take off device are mounted on the curtain support such that they are protected against external adverse environmental effects.
