Photovoltaic Carports Systems
Advantages of PV Carports Systems
4
- Guaranteed unchanging energy costs throughout the entire lifespan of the system, and no risk of price increases - Total reliability and durability of the system and lifetime well exceeding 40 years - No moving parts, long mechanical durability - Low operation and maintenance costs during the system lifecycle - High flexibility when upgrades are required by user’s energy demand - Proven long term energy yield: the first photovoltaic cell, produced in 1953, is successfully continuing to produce energy - Absence of harmful emissions during the entire system life cycle - Solar energy generates significant savings over the lifecycle, in comparison with other sources - The basic cost per kWh of solar energy is completely uncorrelated with any continued Oil & Gas price increases - Optimized use of space due to modular design - Protection from overheating in parked vehicles (can reach over 70°C), that can cause fatalities - Protection from rain - a known health hazard
PrimeSolar solution for PV Carport
5
Primesolar can supply flexible and modular designs that are cost effective and can be easily installed at every location, without extensive civil work. Our products are equipped with unique features: - High flexibility and compatibility with all PV technologies - Pre-designed and fully engineered to fit site conditions and local regulatory requirements in any country (worldwide) - Easy installation and organic placement of all electrical equipment and devices - Esthetically pleasant design of installations, quick assembly, without high costs or health/safety risks - Modular design for easy shipping and delivery on site The result is an elegant solution that creates shading at car parking lots while optimizing space and producing ready to use electricity. If requested, off-grid and hybrid PV systems can be integrated with such carport structures. Optional upgrades such as solar tracking system, monitoring system, battery storage can be selected to improve the overall system performance.
Solar-powered water pumping solutions
6
PrimeSolar water-pumping solutions work perfectly in remote areas (not serviced by any local power grid), where underground water can be found relatively near the surface. The water pumps are directly connected with PrimeSolar photovoltaic modules enabling most economical operation.
Benefits
- Virtually no maintenance required for many years - Most reliable PV technologies are combined with the highest quality thoroughly tested water pumps - Deployable on various lands, slopes and mountainous terrains - Remarkable savings of diesel fuel if compared with traditional stand-alone pumping systems - Custom design and engineering in order to meet user’s specification - Optional upgrades such as solar tracking system, monitoring system, battery storage and such can be selected to improve the overall system performance
Some applications -
Livestock drinking water Field irrigation for agriculture Emergency Water supply for small and remote villages
