Norwegian firm unveils vertical solar panels boosting green rooftops
Sourced from MSN News
The Norwegian company Over Easy Solar proposes a new approach to installing photovoltaic panels on roofs. The innovation of their method involves vertical mounting of the panels instead of the traditional horizontal orientation, resulting in green photovoltaic roofs.
Over Easy Solar, as a pioneer in rooftop photovoltaics, completed its second 102 kW project at the end of last year, which is a continuation of a previous 45 kW installation. Both installations were mounted on the roofs of another Norwegian company, Solenergi Fusen.
According to information provided by PV magazine, the installation from Over Easy Solar covers an area of 1,200 square metres on the building's roof. An interesting element here is that plants were planted under the panels, which, in addition to producing eco-friendly electricity, adds an extra layer of natural vegetation, making the roofs even more "green."
The system developed by Over Easy Solar is intended for installation on flat roofs at low heights. The installation elements are partially assembled before delivery to the installation site, which shortens the installation time. The system uses bifacial modules with heterojunctions.
