by Ningbo Hande Pv Tech Co. Ltd

The revolutionary Sunflower™ highly concentrated photo voltaic (HCPV) system is the world’s only CPV solution that can be installed on the field, on any rooftop or on a carport. Sunflower integrates ultra high efficiency modules, advanced tracking, micro-converter technology, wireless communication and built-in performance monitoring into one elegant turnkey solution. Sunflower produces cost-competitive solar power with the lowest installation and maintenance costs in the industry.

PowerPort TM Carport The PowerPort family of products is based on standardized carport sections that are designed for any number of compact-car, handicapped and standard parking spaces.

PowerPort mounts Sunflower›s unique single module tracking system on a standard carport roof-structure to save weight, installation time and money. PowerPort was designed from the ground up with building codes in mind.

Currently PowerPort complies with all relevant California codes for wind-load and earthquake resistance. PowerPort is shipped as a standard product in sub-sections that can be assembled onsite quickly and easily.

Rooftop Installations Weighing less than four (4) lbs per square foot (less than 19 kg/m2), the Sunflower HCPV system is an ideal solution to improve energy production on tight roof spaces. Sunflower›s roof-mount is non-penetrating and can be adapted to any roof surface and joist spacing. Sunflower›s mounting structure provides a deck clearance of 27 inches (70 cm) which clears most roof obstacles such as skylights, conduits and HVAC lines allowing for ease of installation and higher power density.

Field Installed System The Sunflower mounting system employs a unique «spaceframe» structure that assembles in minutes with simple wrenches. It is self-ballasting and requires no concrete footings or foundations of any kind. This construction-friendly design requires minimal installation training and allows for large construction tolerances, simplifying installation and reducing costs. Upon initial system startup, Sunflower›s control software conducts a self-calibration function that locates the sun and calibrates out any installation errors.

This simplifies installation and reduces labor costs, making Sunflower the lowest installed cost CPV system in the industry.
