Being not a large country on the Atlantic Ocean, Uruguay is on the top 5 wind and solar energy producers worldwide. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 2020, the country is in fourth place, producing 36 percent of its electricity from wind and solar globally.
Just for ten years, Uruguay came from fossil fuels’ dependence on renewable energy stability. Even with limited natural resources, the Latin American country has plenty of suns, water, and wind. Generally speaking, such riches, the country beneficially uses for renewable implementation.
Eco Green Energy is also excited to find recognition in the Uruguay market with its PV modules of top quality and long-lasting warranty.
We want to share the recent solar project done in this country. These are mobile solar off-grid systems for road signs. 15 such installations were done to signal the construction of roads and highways in Montevideo. Actually, each system consists of two supreme quality EGE Helios Plus 370W made with half-cut technology.
Moreover, our trustful and reliable distributor,ENERGIZA, supplied, installed, and developed these mobile solar off-grid systems.
Here are three main key points of the half-cut PV modules:
Reduce the panel’s power loss. By cutting solar cells in half, promotes lower resistive losses and durability as electricity moves throughout cells and wires in a solar panel.
Higher shade tolerance. Half-cut cells are more resistant to the effects of shade. It is due to the wiring methods used to connect half-cut cells in a panel.
Resistance to the hot spots damage. When one solar cell in a panel cell string is shaded, all the unshaded cells can dump the energy they produce into the first shaded cell as heat. This phenomenon also creates a hot spot that can potentially damage the solar panel. In fact, in half-cut modules, the area of shaded cells is smaller to radiate heat. That means, the total amount of heat produced should be less damaging to the panel.
Eco Green Energy is always glad to deliver the best solutions for solar energy applications. Let’s #BuildingAGreenerWorld together with us!
