The Schletter Group has installed the largest carport PV system in Germany at the airport in Weeze, North Rhine-Westphalia.The German CleanTech Institute awarded Schletter the Global Leading RES seal for the innovative design and the unusual location.In just six weeks, 70 specialists installed the Park@Sol system on 25,000 square meters.Due to the special construction as a modular system, the solar panels could be individually adapted to the soil conditions of the location.And the airport management is already thinking about a subsequent project, the construction of an e-charging station.The 4 MWp PV system has been producing electricity for Westnetz GmbH since the end of the year.At the same time, the 15,296 solar module-strong system provide shade for 1,350 parking spaces on the airport premises.The idea of ​​parking while the vehicles are being charged via the solar cells, which also provide shade, is not a vision of the future, but reality.Continuous innovation combined with unconventional approaches are important factors for the further implementation of the energy transition.The German CleanTech Institute (DCTI) presents the Global Leading RES (Renewable Energy Systems) Award together with the market and economic research company EuPD Research, the International Battery & Energy Storage Alliance (IBESA) and Joint Forces for Solar (JF4S).The aim of the award is to honor outstanding photovoltaic and energy storage projects and to raise public awareness.Certifications are awarded in the categories First Mover, Tech Driver, Innovative Application, Unique Location and Largest Project.The DCTI continuously identifies international projects that deserve to be recognized as Global Leading RES Projects.All industry participants are therefore asked to recommend award-worthy projects or to submit them directly via the application process.A detailed description of all 46 certified projects can be found here: www.dcti.de/auszeichnungen/global-leading-projects/winner More information about the DCTI and the application process for the Global Leading RES Awards can be found at the following link: www.dcti. de/awards/global-leading-projects08/10/2017 |Source: CleanTech Institute |solarserver.de © EEM Energy & Environment Media GmbHReceive the most important solar news directly by e-mail every day free of charge.
