Street lights
Some areas are so far from the power grid that connecting these streetlights to the central power grid would be too expensive. These streetlamps are equipped with small solar panels and small batteries, so that they can store electricity during the day and light up at night. Photovoltaics is therefore sometimes the much more cost-effective […]
Power for radio networks
This radio mast is in a remote area without access to the power grid and requires power to transmit radio signals. A solar system is also used here, which consists of solar modules and batteries, since radio signals also must be transmitted or amplified at night. The electricity produced here is always fully utilized. It […]
Humanitarian aid
In this refugee camp, lighting lanterns have been set up that can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled. They consist of small solar modules with integrated small batteries. During the day the batteries are charged by the solar modules and at night the stored energy is used for lighting.
Parking lot roofing
This large PV system produces electricity and at the same time serves as a canopy for a car parking lot . The roofing provides a lot of shade and therefore protects the cars from overheating. An adjacent building, such as a shopping center, can use the electricity itself and electric cars can use the system […]
Power for schools
The solar system installed on the roof of this school produces solar electricity for use in the school. The installed system can be equipped with battery storage and can also be used as a back-up during possible power outages. The electricity produced is mainly used by the school itself and thus helps to reduce electricity […]
Power for drinking water supply
In many remote areas a diesel generator is used to power a water pump for drinking water. In this pump, the electricity is powered by a solar system instead of a diesel generator. The PV system used is placed at wells or rivers and can supply power to the pump during the day for pumping […]
Agricultural irrigation
In many remote areas, a diesel generator is used to run a water pump for agricultural irrigation. Here, the electricity is generated by a solar system, instead of the diesel generator. The PV system used is placed at wells or rivers and can power the pump during the day.
Electricity for remote villages
In very remote villages there is often no connection to the central power grid because the implementation of power lines in remote areas is very expensive and therefore not profitable for the power grid operator. In this scenario, a PV system can also supply an entire village with electricity. The excess production can be temporarily […]
Power for remote villages
Here you can see some inverters and batteries that provide independent power supply for a whole village. The solar modules produce electricity from sunlight during the day. Inverters convert the solar power into alternating current. Thus, the electricity can be used in all households and for all electrical appliances. For such systems, multiple solar modules […]
Electricity for farms
Large roof areas, such as those found in agriculture, are often equipped with PV systems to produce electricity. The solar modules are mounted on the roofs and converted to alternating current by an inverter in the building. Some of the electricity can be used by the company itself, thereby reducing electricity costs. Surplus electricity can be […]
