RENEWABLE ENERGY
To cover the growing energy demand, renewable energy sources help us to switch to environmentally friendly alternatives. However, it is not always possible to place them within the existing infrastructure. Many wind turbines and solar panel parks are located far away from typical road paths. Functional and affordable roads are part of this whole energy supply, and good quality roads are important for the maintenance of the equipment. Another obstacle to maximizing benefits of the renewable energy is its efficiency. The dust particles harm the efficiency of renewable energy, mostly on the performance of solar parks. According to the Study of the Influence of Dust Deposits on photovoltaic solar panels: Case of Nouakchott, the reduction in output power of photovoltaic modules by 21.57% in comparison with clean panels is due to the solar panel’s dusty surface.
WHAT WE DO TO MAKE SOLAR PANELS MORE EFFICIENT
Many solar panel farms are located in remote, arid, and dusty regions where the cleaning of the panels can become a major investment. While we cannot influence the location of energy sources, we can bring the competitiveness to weaker sites. Our environmentally friendly products improve the load-bearing capacity of roads. In this way, we keep the costs of getting the equipment to the site at a manageable level, while the soil can be stabilized before the installation of the solar panels into the ground.
For already existing solar panel farms, we have solutions as well. As our products are suitable for large-scale soil treatment, the treatment of the bare ground surface with a dust binding agent brings higher energy output, increasing efficiency long-term as dust that weakens the energy production of the solar panels can be effectively suppress. In addition, the mineral surface treated in this way effectively prevents the growth of weeds, so tall-growing species cannot shade the panels.
