About Solar Skywalks Aktivitas Énergi Anu Kuat Energétta

Metropolises dunya - sapertos Beijing - gaduh sajumlah jalan kaki lima anu ngalacak arteri lalu lintas anu sibuk. Aranjeunna sering henteu pikaresepeun, ngirangan gambaran kota sadayana. Gagasan desainer pikeun cladding footbridges kalayan éstétika, kakuatan ngahasilkeun modul PV sareng ngarobih aranjeunna janten tempat-tempat kota anu pikaresepeun henteu ngan ukur mampuh tapi nyiptakeun bhinéka sculptural anu janten panon-catcher di cityscape. Stasion ngecas E-mobil atanapi E-bike dina handapeun alas kaki séhat ngagunakeun tanaga surya langsung dina situs.

Behind the Design

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!

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.
