Principle:
This technology uses the photovoltaic effect, where electrons are emitted from a material when exposed to electromagnetic radiation, specifically solar radiation. This movement of electrons generates an electric current. All generated energy is immediately used to operate the building.
Key numbers:
- Photovoltaic panels: 665 panels, each with 470 Wp capacity
- Total installed capacity: 312.8 kWp
- Expected annual production: 310 MWh
- Investment: 11,643,997 CZK
- Subsidy support: 11,643,997 CZK
- Expected annual savings: 1,500,000 CZK, 320,17 t/year Co2e.
Under favorable conditions (low temperature and strong sunlight), production has reached over 330 kWh.
The maximum daily output so far is 2186.20 kWh, saving 10,931 CZK and approximately 787 kg of CO₂e compared to conventional approach.
What it brings to us:
- Renewable Energy Source:
Solar energy is an inexhaustible resource available globally. By harnessing it, we contribute to sustainability and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. - Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
Electricity from photovoltaic panels is emissions-free, reducing the carbon footprint and aiding climate change efforts. - Energy Cost Savings:
Solar panels significantly cut electricity costs, resulting in substantial long-term savings. - Energy Independence:
A photovoltaic system allows us to generate on-site electricity, reducing dependence on central sources and increasing energy security. Installing solar panels on the roof optimizes unused space and adds value to the building. - Low Operating Costs:
After the initial subsidy-supported investment, operational and maintenance costs are minimal. Solar panels have a long lifespan (25–30 years) with little maintenance required. - Scalability and Modularity:
The photovoltaic system is scalable and modular, making it easy to expand. It integrates seamlessly with the building’s infrastructure, including the CGU.
