The natural and green clean energy industry is constantly developing, and photovoltaic applications are gradually penetrating into every aspect of people's lives. From household photovoltaics to distributed commercial and industrial applications, from the installation of photovoltaic power stations on rooftops and vacant land to the emergence of various photovoltaic products, the application fields of photovoltaic power generation are becoming more and more extensive. So, how many application scenarios of photovoltaics in the commercial and industrial sectors do you know?
Photovoltaic + Commercial and Industrial Factory Rooftops
Large enterprises, supermarkets, and private firms have vast rooftop space. These power – hungry entities often have long – term property rights, ideal for over – 1 – MW rooftop solar plants. Such installations meet power demands, generate extra income from selling surplus power, and cut factory temperatures, promoting energy savings.
Case: A German auto – parts factory installed a 3 – MW rooftop PV system. Post – installation, 60% of its power was self – generated, with surplus sold for about 1 million euros annually. Summer factory temps dropped 2 – 4°C, reducing cooling use.
Photovoltaic + Communication Base Stations
With wide – spread communication base stations needing 24/7 power, diesel generators for backup are costly. PV – energy storage systems can power base stations. They use solar during good weather, mains in rain, and batteries during outages, extending battery life.
Case: A Kenyan rural base station with a 3 – kW PV system slashed its annual diesel costs by 70% and cut battery replacement from every 18 months to every 3 years.
Photovoltaic + Water Plants
As water use grows, so does the high – power consumption of sewage treatment plants. Installing PV on rooftops and treatment tanks is a space – efficient and cost – effective solution.
Case: An Australian water treatment plant's 2 – MW PV project saved 2 million kWh annually, worth $1.5 million, and lowered its carbon footprint.
Photovoltaic + Parking Lots
Photovoltaic carports, with charging piles, are a simple way to integrate PV into buildings. They boost urban space use, offer shade, and provide clean energy for EVs and e – bikes.
Case: An Italian mall built an 8,000 – sq – m PV carport with 150 charging piles, serving over 400 EVs daily and powering part of the mall.
Photovoltaic + Gas Stations
Oil companies are venturing into PV – integrated gas stations. These use solar for operations and EV charging, attracting green – minded customers and cutting emissions.
Case: Shell's Dutch PV – gas station powers lighting, pumps, and stores, and charges EVs, reducing carbon output.
Photovoltaic + Logistics Centers
Logistics centers combine industrial parks, new energy, and the Internet. PV – powered centers can run internal operations and sell excess power, promoting green logistics.
Case: DHL's German green logistics center uses a large – scale PV installation for internal needs and sells surplus power, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability.
All in all, photovoltaic solar power generation relies on renewable resources in the natural cycle, changing our lifestyle as well as our living environment. "Photovoltaic +" creates infinite possibilities. The "photovoltaic +" application model not only brings new changes to the photovoltaic industry, but also the application of photovoltaic solar power stations in these emerging fields is the best way for photovoltaic power generation to enter people's lives.
