Emotions were running high during the final of the 7th edition of tournament for installation teams - Installer of the Year, premiere of the Encor ground source heat pump had a major impact on the RES industry representatives, and the number of visitors to stand E-12 asking about new solutions for photovoltaics surprised even the most experienced participants in the fair. We can already say that Corab at the XXVI International Trade Fair for Power and Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energy Sources ENEX in Kielce has completed its plan in 300 percent!
The 2024 Installer of the Year tournament and the main prize, a complete 6 kWp PV installation, has been won by the Ekoprime team, which has beaten the team from Voltaic System after exciting battle in the final. Finalists of the Installer of the Year competition previously had to take part in the knowledge test and correctly answer as many of the 25 questions in the shortest possible time, as well as successfully complete many installation tasks, which had to be carried out quickly, efficiently and according to the manufacturer's instructions. Further places in the competition were taken by the MCM Fotowoltaika team, last year's winner Zielona Firma, as well as SUNERGO and GROMAR ENERGY. The last team was also awarded the audience prize.
There were many other premieres and recently launched Corab products during the XXVI International Trade Fair for Power and Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energy Sources ENEX. Europe's leading manufacturer of photovoltaic structures and distributor of solutions for renewable energy has presented its offer aimed at both the prosumer segment and photovoltaic farms.
WS-A10P vertical structure for AgriPV
Due to the dynamic development of AgriPV in Europe and worldwide and along with the first projects of this type being implemented on the Polish market, the company has presented a new vertical structure for fixing PV modules in the form of a fence - the WS-A10P. With this solution panels occupy only about 1 per cent of the field area, allowing conventional agricultural machinery to operate. The construction is also extremely easy to install and free of panel shading. In addition, thanks to the double-sided modules, the system generates more electricity than a conventional PV installation. All of this makes the WS-A10P a perfect fit with the definition of AgriPV as a dual activity, which involves using one area of land for agricultural production as a primary use and for the production of electricity with a PV installation as a secondary use.
Photovoltaic tracker system WS T-001 ONE
Primarily for investors seeking maximum energy yields, the Corab company has unveiled its best-seller, the Corab System Tracker WS T-001 ONE mobile photovoltaic structure. Unlike standard PV systems, it has a solar tracking function. The angle of the sun's rays changes throughout the day. Tracker follows it and positions the modules to make optimal use of the available light. This operating model of the system enables a more balanced production in the morning and afternoon, resulting in up to 30 per cent higher energy yields compared to a classic PV system. The structure is equipped with an intelligent wind and snow protection system, so it remains safe even during demanding weather conditions. It also incorporates anti-shadow solution to prevent the PV modules from shading each other. System is fully automatic and maintenance-free.
Also many visitors asked about the newly presented new balcony bracket for a photovoltaic micro-installation, which enables the production of electricity using modules installed on balconies.
