Helios Volt• Is a UK based success story in the making. A global first, factory assembled modular bifacial PV array, designed for minimum site disruption and fast completion.
CrowdHouse Energy has a combined 60+ years of expertise in the construction and energy sectors, having identified a gap in the renewables marketplace for megawatt scale onsite renewable energy generation (OREG).
Using past experiences, we knew improving project delivery times is a key component to cost reduction, added to our commitment to "power up" simply utilizing leading edge technology to provide the most powerful outcome for our clients.
Based on a typical large supermarket parking layout with fuel station, the site was chosen for the mix of canopy types of single, double and walkway to store. We provide no data for the walkway variant as each of this type of canopy is designed specifically for the site. The stores grid supplied demand is assumed on a m2/p/kWh of GIA
Civils can be dramatically reduced using Ballasted structures working closely with SWECO UK Limited Consulting Engineers, our structural engineers, we achieved just that. Next on our list was labour, previously a 1 megawatt of PV canopies would take a 10 man team 500 hours to complete the install, by shifting to Volt assembly in the factory 1 megawatt with a 4 man team takes only 150 hours to install and have the car park back in operation.
The effect of disruption is sometimes underestimated, parking is a very dynamic and integrated service which if disrupted for long periods can have negative financial consequences. Car parks are live operational sites and, in many cases, working 365 day a year, we therefore placed a great deal of consideration for a design that’s aimed at fast installation, removing as much onsite work to offsite. A Helios Volt ® frame can be described as a four panel cassette, each holding powerful Bifacial PV modules. Our current offering is 665wp with a minimum 15% back boost from the rear PV cells providing 765wp. Each frame connects to each other to make the string connections with integrated LED lighting as standard that is connected to the canopy services Lithium-ion battery.
