A solar-powered "tile" generates 0.36 degrees a day

Replacing traditional roof tiles with solar “tiles” will produce green electricity that will solve one-year office electricity. Yesterday, the newly replaced solar roof of Hangzhou Yokohama Tire Co., Ltd., which is located in the Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, was officially opened. It is estimated that about 130,000 kg of carbon dioxide can be reduced in the whole year.

According to Ichiro Suzuki, general manager of tires at Yokohama in Hangzhou, in order to build a resource-saving enterprise and reduce energy consumption, the company began investing 3 million yuan from the end of last year to use it for the reconstruction of solar roof photovoltaic power generation projects in the plant area. A total of 1,000 pieces of "tiles" were installed throughout the project. The total area of ​​the roof area that can be covered and used in the plant was fully utilized, reaching 1,200 square meters. The gate office was also included.

After a period of trial trials, according to the climate in Hangzhou, each piece of “tile” is expected to generate 0.36 degrees per day on average, and the average annual power generation of the entire 25-year roof is about 129,600 degrees, and the average annual reduction of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is 130,000 kg. Compared with traditional thermal power generation, the average annual saving of coal is approximately 37,000 kg. After conversion and grid-connected, the electricity generated from the sun roof will be mainly used for electricity in the factory area.

This kind of novelty "tile" is called amorphous silicon thin film solar cell module. It is developed and produced by Hangzhou Tianyu Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. from the same development zone. “In the past, our products were mainly export-oriented, and now the domestic market is slowly taking shape.” The company’s general manager Jin Guoqing also appeared on the scene yesterday and was very happy to see the company’s products being accepted by the company.

According to reports, the Yokohama Tire Roof is the biggest remodeling project Tianyu Solar currently completes. There are two companies outside the development zone, Stäubli and Long Chi curtain walls, that have used their products to save energy and reduce carbon emissions.
