Solar PV installations in carpark structures are a smart choice as they provide dual benefits. By generating energy, businesses can become more self-sufficient in their energy needs. Additionally, these installations offer shaded parking for customers and staff, thereby improving their experience and attracting more customers to the business
Rooftop solar PV systems can be installed on any rooftop that has good access to sunlight and minimal shading. These systems can be erected with ease and typically require no alterations to the existing roof structure. Installation time can be as quick as a single day, depending on the system size. At KNRE, we have experience installing rooftop solar PV systems on a range of structures, including residential homes, schools, universities, warehouses, gas stations, stables, agricultural buildings, office towers, government buildings, shopping malls, embassies, military posts, mosques, and many other types of buildings.
While rooftop and parking lot solar PV units are constrained by the surface area of the structure they are mounted on, ground-mounted solar PV systems have the advantage of being limited only by the amount of available ground space. By utilizing large, unused areas for ground-mount PV plants, the amount of energy generated can increase with every additional square meter of installed panels. Additionally, ground-mount solar PV systems can be equipped with solar tracking units that enhance the efficiency of solar capture, maximizing the energy output of the plant.
Wind turbines are a sustainable and renewable source of energy that harnesses the power of the wind, which is actually a form of solar energy resulting from the sun's heating of the atmosphere and the Earth's surface irregularities. The viability of wind turbines as a renewable energy source depends on the consistency of the wind in the location they are placed. Additionally, wind turbines are a space-efficient option, as the area beneath them can be utilized for other purposes, such as farming or ground-mounted solar PV plants.
Solar PV lighting is an ideal choice for illuminating parks, beaches, gardens, and streets. These lighting systems feature light poles with built-in battery backup to facilitate off-grid applications, or they can be connected to the national grid to ensure continuous power supply to the LED lights during low light days and throughout the night. Not only are these lighting systems compact and highly functional, but they are also cost-effective and require minimal maintenance.
