I can't find the spelling of "Brise Solarie", I assume it is French for Sun Block. My concept is a system of siding, shingles on the Southern, Western and upward faces of your house that will, when interior temperatures warrent, be pulled to form something like a shadow box. I am sure that the tech needed to do this is much less than what they put into your average car these days.Yes, not Brise Solarie.
