⚽ World-class solar brands ☀ are like football teams ⚽: ... they have worldwide appeal, and enjoy special recognition in specific countries 🌍 . ...✨ Star teams don´t become such out of improvisation. They train hard to excel. That´s the same for #AEG, #Electrolux or #Duracell Solar Solutions solar products: our Quality Control team ensure they match rigorous requirements for qualifying 🚦. #AEG, #Electrolux or #Duracell Solar Solutions: Learn more about the different brands in license to Solar Solutions AG, how they fit the demands of different markets -from residential to C&I- and the quality promise behind the brands. https://lnkd.in/dsRnF7vs (PS: in honour of our COO Bertrand Chevalley – interviewed in this clip) we are rooting for France tonight! 😃⚽ #em2024 #aegsolar #electroluxsolar #duracellsolarsolutions #solarenergy #france

We’ve affectionately named traditional rope grabs “Jack”. Any guesses why? Jack requires too much “hands on” attention to keep things flowing and frankly you don’t have time for entertaining. That’s why we’re fans of Petzl’s ASAP Fall Arrester. It’s a smooth operator that effortlessly glides along your lifeline, giving you the freedom to concentrate on your work without interruptions and without sacrificing safety. Combine it with their high-visibility lifeline, and you'll be breezing through your tasks with ease. Solar Tools USA: Tools for Solar Installers. Faster. Safer. Easier. https://lnkd.in/gKkMrzQx #solartoolsusa #solartools #petzl #personalprotectiveequipment #fallprotection #safetyatheights #worksmarternotharder #solarinstaller #solarprofessionals #rooptopsafety #rooftopsolarsafety #ppe #solarsafety #workatheights #harness #safetyharness #fallarrester #shockpack #lifeline #safetyrope #anchorin #tieoff #jobsitesafety #steeppitchroof #solarprofessional #construction #roofer #solarinstallation #solarinstall #SafetyFirst

https://lnkd.in/eqa8_sFB The world has moved on significantly since this video (thank goodness for HSE) and with these changes come new challenges. The drive to renewables means the networks which were originally designed to distribute electricity from a few huge power plants spread across the country are now having to adapt to lots of small generators in places that were not foreseen when these towers were built (think solar, windfarms etc). The demand profile is also changing – electric cars are thirsty, the move to electric heat pumps, etc is increasing demand but also creating much larger peaks and troughs, complicated by non linear renewable electricity supply. Tower asset owners are also faced with increasing pressure to deliver more with less and maintaining towers rather than replacing them is one of the key strategies to ensure this happens. Asset owners spend around £30m pa on tower painting. This spend is relatively small in the overall budget but saves at up to 149 times the cost of steelwork replacement (NGET_A9.09A report). There has never been a stronger case for tower painting but asset owners are stretched for resources due to: ·     Budget constraints ·     People shortages ·     Skills shortages ·     Shorter outage windows available ·     Relatively short project timescales of specialist work moving geography regularly means in house teams lack skills to manage painting contractors. ·     Linesmen delivering more small projects – reducing flexibility Tower painting works are undertaken predominantly by 3 painting contractors in the UK but how do asset owners know that the paint will last the 18-24 years it is required for? How do they know that they are getting value for money? Does the specification work (has any one checked?) and can it be done better, safer and more efficiently? Are the QA systems fit for purpose? In-house teams of asset owners will be able to do some checks but with contractors increasingly given more responsibility with less checks, there is a real risk that the coatings may not be the right standard and steel work will need to be replaced at a higher rate and significant cost than forecast. This is very difficult to manage in a regulated industry. Spend levels are capped and unexpected increases come out of company profits. Warning – hard sell coming up – As an independent consultant, Verticoat can not only ensure painting works - but also add real value for a fraction of the savings, give budget certainty, check commercial offerings of contractors, undertake 3 year checks, safety and quality checks. Verticoat will drive spend down while ensuring the coatings last the full 18 years and work is delivered safely. Whether you need a paint audit, pricing check, 3 year audit or strategic advice for your tower painting projects, our team is here to assist you. Contact us now to discuss your requirements and experience the difference of working with Verticoat. #towerpainting #quality

The StepUP project is developing new technologies and solutions to make building renovation more attractive and affordable. Plug & Play Active System combined multiple solutions to support the deep renovation principles, energy saving and CO2 emission reduction. Heating and cooling systems always work on demand, that means heating and cooling energy is produced when it is needed and not when it would be optimal, or when renewable or waste heat sources are available. This on demand production is not optimal, so by storing thermal energy and combining it with a building level optimization, the operation of HVAC systems can be optimized. There are multiple elements supporting this aim. HeatTank Thermal Battery is a solution for storing thermal energy in a very concentrated form with the use of environmental friendly phase change materials (PCM), providing large amount of energy saving with a quick installation as only 3 connection points should be made to the existing HVAC system. About 30 systems are in operation in Europe, providing energy saving for different environments, in heating and cooling systems. With the IES building optimization that collects data from all over the building and the integration with third party products, optimal operation can be achieved. #heatventors #hvac #thermalenergystorage #stepup https://lnkd.in/dpaVbhSm

The second part of our guide on the topic of rear-ventilated facades is online! We provide an overview of the three different embedment mechanisms that form the basis for attaching rear-ventilated facade: by frictional connection through expansion, guided connection through undercuts or adhesive bond through composite. The current part of our guide for rear-ventilated facades will illustrate how these three principles work and how they differ. Visit our blog on our website. More parts from this new guidebook series will follow shortly! #EJOT #EJOTEastAfrica #fixing #fixingsolutions #construction #solar #renevableenergy #fixation #EJOTConstruction
