The #PvinMotion is in full swing. Our CEO Robert Händel had the opportunity to present our progress in building the first factory for flexible solar panels for vehicles and was part of the industry panel.   💡 In the panel discussion, market, technology and regulatory aspects of the field of solar mobility were discussed. It's great to see automotive experts and solar mobility manufacturers in the same room discussing solutions for more sustainable mobility.   🛣 When it comes to VIPV, it is good to differentiate between passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The integration is different, as are the benefits. But solar is relevant for both.   🚗 For passenger cars, the added value lies in the ease of charging. It is not only more convenient, but also more accessible; 70% of e-vehicles do not have their own charging system at home. The focus should therefore less on costs per watt and more on the added value, that is not yet taken into account. The user experience matters.   🚐 Caravans are already demonstrating this. The market is mature here. But its more focused on flexible solar panels then panels embedded in glass.   🚚 In commercial vehicles, flexible solar modules create an advantage by making the truck or trailer more efficient. Trailers offer a lot of space. The electrification of transportation, and cooling systems means that every electron counts. So, energy is needed, and solar panels help solve this problem.   🇪🇺 Scalability is the key and the standardization of panels for commercial vehicles is being advanced. A local supply chain will also become increasingly important.   ✍ The importance of solar systems for vehicles is changing. Five years ago, it was a marketing discussion. Three years ago it was a matter for the development department and now it is being driven by the C-Level management.   🚀 The integration of solar energy will be the decisive topic, not the panels themselves. But it seems to be clear that solar on vehicles has its use cases.   It was great to get all the different insights. The industry is advancing fast. Many thanks to all the industry experts who took part in the panel discussion.   Christophe Ballif (CSEM) Loic TOUS (AGC Glass Europe) Julien Robin (Simoldes Plastics) Bonna Newman (Lightyear) Robert Händel (OPES Solutions)  

SUN Mobility and Indian Oil Corp Limited Join Forces to Create Largest Battery Swapping Network in India SUN Mobility, a leading provider of energy infrastructure and services for electric vehicles (EVs), has announced a strategic collaboration and joint venture with IndianOil, a diversified, integrated energy major, to establish and deploy one of the largest battery swapping infrastructure networks in India by 2030. The joint venture aims to scale up to over 10,000 battery swapping stations across more than 40 cities within the next three years. This initiative seeks to facilitate the seamless adoption of electric mobility across two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and small four-wheelers by providing a convenient “Battery as a Service” (BaaS) mobility solution.

And that’s a wrap! The #IAA2024 is behind us. So, what did we take away from the show? Is there more solar technology than just on the Ferris wheel? Over 1,700 exhibitors from 41 countries showcased their latest innovations. Positioned in Hall 27, OPES Solar Mobility was right in the middle, surrounded by the IAA heavyweights – Trucks and Trailers. The solar-powered Ferris wheel wasn’t the only spotlight on solar. Numerous companies displayed their solar products or solar-equipped trailer, emphasizing the growth of the industry. The conversation is evolving. It’s no longer about whether solar tech is beneficial, it’s about how to effectively integrate it. Market acceptance is clearly on the rise. You get the feeling that everyone in Hall 27 and beyond is in a race for greater efficiency and is using photovoltaics as one of the means. This goes hand in hand with the ongoing electrification. Not only are drivetrains being electrified - with some already in series production or set to launch by the end of the year - but other components as well. Refrigeration units shown are either hybrid or fully electric, making the energy harvested from solar directly consumable. As powering cooling units is already a business case, having them electrified paves the way for more solar-powered efficiency. A trend we noticed are certainly e-axles or e-trailer. With energy recuperation, these systems capture energy, store it, and push the tractor what safes fuel. So, trailers are getting their own high-voltage batteries. This is another great opportunity for solar, as trailers equipped with 5kWp can then seamlessly integrate that energy. The demand for plug and play solar products continues to grow. Our SolFlex Cab Set, a kit designed to enhance driver comfort while reducing the need for battery replacements, is just one example of how solar solutions are already equipped on trucks. We’re also seeing increased interest in solar technology "Made in Germany." Maintaining a secure value chain and accessible local contacts is becoming essential. Developing integrated road-ready solutions in collaboration with OEMs and box builders will be key. The past week was full of great meetings and productive discussions. We are moving ahead and whilst there may be some ups and downs, the road before us is certainly a sunny one with solar not only on the horizon but already on the road.

🌹 【1 person + 1 robot + 1 ladder, easily handle the cleaning for Carport PV Plant】 #PhiCleaner #Solarcleanrobot #Photovoltaic #Carportsolarpower 🤔 【How to select safe and efficient solar cleaning equipment】 👉To increase power generation from photovoltaics, cleaning is an essential investment. So, how can you choose the most reasonable and effective cleaning equipment among numerous options? You need to consider the following points: ❓❓ 1.Is the overall cost of the equipment, labor, and time economically reasonable? ❓❓ 2. Does the equipment provide the best cleaning effect in one cleaning cycle? Optimal cleaning results mean maximizing power generation. Why emphasize "one cleaning cycle"? Because "optimal cleaning in one cleaing cycle" implies the highest on-site cleaning efficiency and the lowest time cost. Many cleaning devices on the market focus only on speed to attract buyers' attention. Before purchasing, buyers should ask themselves a few questions with a clear mind: 1)Can high speed guarantee cleaning quality and coverage? Excess speed inevitably sacrifices cleaning quality, which I believe is common knowledge. 2)Does the excessive speed increase the risk of microcracks in the photovoltaic panels? 3)Are the claimed speeds of various remote-controlled cleaning devices really achievable in the complex and diverse on-site designs of power plants? Does the on-site working environment affect their performance? Can the remote controller operator sustain this speed for several hours? Even if the speed can be achieved, how can the safety of the machine and photovoltaic panels be ensured? ❓❓ 3. Is the cleaning effect stable and consistent, unaffected by personnel and site changes? Owners should consider these factors comprehensively before purchasing cleaning equipment, which is a rational approach. 👍 #PhiCleaner is also standing in the shoes of power plant owners, designing, developing, and producing AI-integrated autonomous cleaning robot. #PhiCleaner robot perfectly balances economics, sustainability, and safety stability, allowing power plants to maximize profitability while ensuring safety. 🌹 👉 Contact : Skye Lu 👉Mobile(whatsapp)：+86 15228971869 👉 Email: skye@kwunphi.com 👉 Web :www.kwunphi.com & www.solarcleanrobot.com #solar #solarpanels #solarpower #solarcleaning #solarenergy #renewableenergy #pvcleaning #photovoltaic #CleanRobot #AIrobot #solarCleanRobot #solarenergy #rooftopsolarpower #farmsolar #floatingsolar #groundmountsolar #solarEPC #solarOM #solarFarm #solarex #solarrooftop #pvmodules #groundmountedsolar #agrivoltaics #carportSolar #cleanenergy #solarcleanmachine #solarcleanequipment #intelligent #autonomous #cleaningequipment #cleanenergy #solarpowerplant #solarproject #photovoltaicproject
