	Solar gain is short wave radiation from the sun that heats a building, either directly through an opening such as a window, or indirectly through the fabric of the building. Very broadly, solar gain can be beneficial in cooler climates when it can be used to passively heat buildings. However, too much solar gain can cause overheating and for this reason, Part L of the UK building regulations places restrictions on the amount of glazing that can be used in buildings.

	The southern sides of buildings typically require horizontal, angled baffles to block the high summer sun. For the east and west facing sides of a building a motorised fin system can be used, to follow the sun and actively control the solar gain of the building. This allows optimum protection at the appropriate time of day and year.		The southern sides of buildings typically require horizontal, angled baffles to block the high summer sun.
