K2 Systems has introduced a modular carport system designed for medium and large parking areas, offering an efficient and sustainable solution to integrate photovoltaic (PV) systems into parking infrastructure.
The realisation of the projects is due to start this year. The food retailer Carrefour will primarily use the electricity itself in its stores throughout the country - and will thus fulfil the legal requirements.
Outdoor swimming pools are booming in the summer heat. Because they promise to cool you down. However, the edges of the pools are often sealed. The sun burns mercilessly on the skin. A clever idea offers a remedy: solar power is better than sun cream!
The new solar carport by 1st Flow Energy Solutions includes a charging station with battery storage. A redox flow storage unit is used, which stores the green electricity in an electrolyte liquid.
SIG has covered a cycle path in the canton of Geneva with a photovoltaic system. The 486 bicafial modules were integrated into an aesthetic substructure on a 200-metre section.
On the road in all weathers: The cycle path near the football stadium in Freiburg, Germany has now been covered with glass-glass modules over a length of 300 metres. The system has an output of 287 kilowatt hours and generates around 280 megawatt hours of solar power per year.
Solar canopies for schoolyards enhance paved areas and allow them to be used on rainy days. This creates a bright and attractive space for playing and learning. Erich Merkle of GridParity explains how the investment is refinanced by solar power.
With a number of solar canopies under their belt, Urbasolar is currently building a 30-megawatt system over the parking lots at Disneyland Paris. Deputy CEO Paul Keurinck explains what to consider when planning and realising such systems.
