About Solar Skywalks فوڊ اسٽرائيز
دنيا جي ميٽروپولس - بيجنگ وانگر - گهڻن پيچيدگارن جو هڪ وڏو تعداد مصروف ٽريفڪ رستن تان گذري ٿو. اھي عام طور تي غير متاثر ڪندڙ آھن ، عام طور تي سموري شهري تاثر کي گهٽائڻ. ڊيزائنرز جي خيال کي پيرن جي چوٽي کي جمالياتي طور تي ٺاهڻ ، بجلي پيدا ڪرڻ وارو پي وي ماڊلز ۽ انهن کي پرڪشش شهر جي جڳهن ۾ تبديل ڪرڻ نه رڳو پائيدار آهي ، پر هڪ مجسمي تنوع پيدا ڪري ٿو جيڪو شهر جي نظارن ۾ نمايان بڻجي وڃي ٿو. اي ڪار يا اي سائيڪل چارجنگ اسٽيشن هيٺان پير آهن شمسي توانائي کي سڌو سنئون سائيٽ تي.
The Recognition
About the A' Design Award پلاٽينم انعام
Solar Skywalks فوڊ اسٽرائيز A' Design Award پلاٽينم انعام جو کٽيندڙ آهي، تمام گهڻو معزز اعتراف جيڪو حقيقت ۾ غير معمولي، نفيس ۽ عظيم الشان ڊيزائنن کي ڏنو وڃي ٿو. پلاٽينم کٽيندڙ تخليق جا عجوبا، ذهني تخليقيت جي حدن جي گواهي آهن ۽ پنهنجي ڊيزائنرن جي بي مثال پيشه ورانه مهارت ۽ عبقريت ڏيکارين ٿا. انهن ڊيزائنن کان اميد ڪئي وڃي ٿي ته اهي سڀ کان مشهور ڪم هوندا جيڪي هڪ دور جي جماليات طئي ڪن ٿا، سماج جي ڀلائيءَ ۾ مدد ڪن ٿا ۽ فن، سائنس، ڊيزائن ۽ ٽيڪنالاجي جون حدون وڌائين ٿا. Solar Skywalks فوڊ اسٽرائيز عظمت جي بلند سطح ڏيکاري ٿو ۽ پنهنجين فائديمند ۽ قيمتي خاصيتن سان بنا شڪ دنيا کي بهتر جڳهه بڻائي ٿو. Solar Skywalks فوڊ اسٽرائيز هڪ اهڙو ڪم آهي جنهن A' Design Award پلاٽينم انعام کٽيو آهي ۽ جيڪو خواهشون جاڳائي ٿو، الهام ڏئي ٿو، خوش ڪري ٿو ۽ وڏي خوشي جي چڻنگ ٻاري ٿو.

- Unique Properties
- This sustainable concept has been created for existing footbridges in Beijing but it is just as well to apply for any new structures in any site. With only one rectangular shape of PV panel, over 80 specific designs have been created for different urban areas of the city. The electricity harvested from the sun can be used on site for lighting, elevators or escalators. E-car and e-bike charging stations under the foot bridges utilize the locally generated solar energy directly on site.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- A design of a medium size footbridge with a medium density of panels - like "The Arches" - with its 10 rectangular portals can generate about 18,000 KWh of electricity per year. Since the electricity mix in China is very carbon-intensive, 0.7 kg CO2 per KWh of PV electricity could be saved, a total of 12,600 kg CO2.
If the electricity generated in this example would be used to operate charging stations for electric scooters (in China these are rather slow, small scooters that need about 1 kWh for 100 m), the amount of electricity generated would be sufficient for a total distance of 1,800,000 km! - Tags

- Production Technology
- The applied thin-film CIGS photovoltaic modules produce electricity under the most unfavorable weather and site conditions. They are lightweight and very resilient. Retrievable, prefabricated mounting systems are aesthetic and easy to assembly
- Inspiration
- World's metropolises have a large number of pedestrian bridges traversing busy traffic arteries. They are often unattractive, downgrading the overall urban impression. Our idea of cladding the pedestrian bridges with aesthetic, power generating photovoltaic modules and transforming them into attractive city spots is not only sustainable , but creates a sculptural diversity that becomes an eye-catcher in the cityscape.
- Project Duration
- The project has been developed in Germany since 2018.
Two mockups built in Shanghai and Munich demonstrate the feasibility of the system, which enables the construction of effective and reliable structures even for different climate zones. - Operation Flow
- The eye-catching structures attract the attention of passers-by and this is to be used to educate about sustainability. The idea of using them as sources of informal education for sustainability is crucial to the project.
The implemented display measures will provide passing persons with information about various aspects of the use of solar energy and thus lead to a better understanding and acceptance of solar solutions. This will be beneficial to society and to the environment. - Image Credits
