Visit Solar Hub at Ecobuild 2010
Solarcentury is proud to be presenting the Solar Hub at Ecobuild this year. Using a model city as a backdrop, Solarcentury will demonstrate the ease with which solar can be integrated into the built environment, showcase the very latest in solar technologies and help visitors understand the implications of the Government’s Clean Energy Cashback scheme.
Ecobuild runs from the 2nd to the 4th March at Earls Court in London and is the biggest green construction event in the world, attracting more than 34,000 visitors. The Solar Hub will be the main focus for solar at the show, and as well as demonstrating the latest solar technologies will also host introductory talks on solar for residential and commerical developments, and details of how the Clean Energy Cashback scheme will work.
Full details can be found on the Ecobuild website or you can register here.
For residential buildings with pitched roofs, Solarcentury will be showing three options for installing solar onto homes with on-roof, in-roof, and our fully integrated solar electric roof tiles, allowing the seamless integration of PV into traditional pitched tile and slate roofs.
For flat roofs, the Solar Hub will showcase Solarcentury’s Fast Sun mounting system. Fast Sun allows fast installation on various roof types with maximum module density and minimal roof loading and penetrations. As the system is completely modular Fast Sun has been used on installations from 5 to over 5,000 PV modules.
For commercial and agricultural installations the Solar Hub will showcase the Energy Roof from Solarcentury, using 230w solar panels from Yingli Solar. Solarcentury’s Energy Roof replaces existing roofing materials with solar modules providing a quick-to-install and completely integrated solution for large scale installations. In Europe the Energy Roof has been used to great effect to capitalise on the financial incentives available for solar installations and will be equally productive under the UK Clean Energy Cashback scheme.
Demonstrating that PV modules can also be used as a creative building material, the Solar Hub will also include our Façades cassette mounting system. Using industry compliant components, the system allows PV modules to integrate with the fabric of the building, replacing conventional ventilated rainscreen façades and allowing architects to specify materials which generate electricity for use on-site.
