Why choose vertical installation of photovoltaic panels?
Aug 29, 2024
As the demand for energy continues to grow, photovoltaic power generation, as an important part of clean energy, has received increasing attention. In the field of photovoltaic power generation, vertical installation is gradually becoming a favored method of installation.
Why choose vertical installation of photovoltaic panels?
1. Vertical installation can more efficiently utilize space. The components in the vertical installation method occupy a very low projection area, which significantly increases space utilization compared to conventional tilted installations. Additionally, vertical system construction does not require changes to the terrain, allowing for better utilization of the land's original economic attributes, such as agricultural and pastoral land. This installation method maximizes the value of solar power generation while fully utilizing the value of the land itself.
2. Vertical installation is easier to maintain. Due to the more vertical angle of the photovoltaic panels, cleaning and maintenance become more convenient, reducing maintenance costs and workload.
Furthermore, in extremely cold areas and cold seasons, vertical installation can avoid snow cover, thereby minimizing power generation losses and reducing the risk of mechanical load failure. Particularly noteworthy is that during the snowy season, conventional tilted components may be covered by ice and snow, leading to power generation stagnation, while heterojunction vertical components can utilize up to 80% of the light reflection in the snow, achieving efficient dual-sided power generation.
3. Vertical installation can generate superior power generation curves, resulting in higher power generation returns and reducing the need for energy storage. This means that under the same conditions, vertical installation can obtain more electricity output, reducing power generation costs.
4. Higher overall solar energy utilization rate. In summary, vertical installation of photovoltaic panels not only improves energy utilization, but also saves land resources, reduces maintenance costs, and brings higher power generation returns. With continuous technological advancements, vertical installation methods will play an increasingly important role in the field of photovoltaic power generation.
5. Reduced environmental noise. The coated glass of the components has a microstructure of porous silicon dioxide, which can absorb and reflect a portion of the sound waves, reducing environmental noise. In terms of design, vertical installation components are more easily integrated with building structures, achieving better enclosure effects.
What are the application scenarios for photovoltaic vertical installation and vertical fences?
1. Photovoltaic fences & agricultural photovoltaics. Compared to traditional support structures, agricultural photovoltaics using heterojunction vertical components can not only generate electricity returns, but also occupy less land area. This solution minimizes the impact on animals, agricultural machinery, and agricultural production activities.
The application of photovoltaic fences effectively addresses key issues such as limited photovoltaic power generation areas and insufficient power generation, accelerating the application of solar energy in limited spaces. Additionally, photovoltaic fences integrate fence functionality, component aesthetics, and economic benefits of power generation, providing a new solution for solar power generation.
2. High-speed guardrails. High-speed highway photovoltaic guardrails can fully utilize existing resources to produce clean energy, reduce traffic noise, and only require minimal additional land use. Given the widespread presence of highways, this technology has enormous market potential and needs to be developed rapidly.
3. Integrated building applications. In building environments, photovoltaic vertical supports can be used as sound barriers, sunroom walls, photovoltaic balconies, building exteriors, urban landscapes, and more. They not only meet the functional requirements of buildings but also contribute to sustainable energy, adding technological beauty to modern life.
