HIGH EFFICIENCY SOLAR WATER PUMPS

Classification of solar glass

Depending on their properties and manufacturing methods, photovoltaic glass can be categorized into three main types: cover plates for flat-panel solar cells, usually made of rolled glass; thin-film solar cell conductive substrates, coated with semiconductor materials typically just a few micrometers thick on the surface of flat glass; and glass lenses or reflectors used in concentrating photovoltaic systems.

The cost of solar panels

While the upfront costs of solar panels have dropped by over 70% in the past decade, a comprehensive lifecycle analysis includes several key components: initial purchase and installation ($15,000-$25,000 for an average home system), ongoing maintenance (roughly $300-500 annually), inverter replacement (typically needed once during the system’s lifetime), and eventual decommissioning costs.

FAQS about AggrEKo installs solar system

Will Aggreko build a solar farm & a battery energy storage system?

Aggreko has successfully won the bid to build, own and operate a 12.4 MW solar farm and 8.8 MW/2.1 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) under a long-term power purchase agreement for Rio Tinto’s Amrun project in Weipa, 800 km from Cairns in far north Queensland.

Will Aggreko's solar farm reduce Amrun's diesel emissions?

Once operational, Aggreko’s 12.4 MW solar farm and BESS are expected to reduce Amrun’s diesel electricity consumption by 37% or approximately 5.5 million litres of diesel fuel per year. This will reduce annual CO2 emissions by approximately 14,000 t, which is the equivalent of taking 3,100 internal combustion engine cars off the road.

When will the Amrun solar farm be operational?

Early works have commenced on the Amrun solar farm, which is expected to be operational by early 2025, with no interruption to local power services. Once completed, the Amrun solar farm will provide around 21 GWh/y of renewable power. Rio Tinto completed the commissioning of the Amrun bauxite mine in 2019.

What does Aggreko do for Rio Tinto?

Aggreko’s capabilities will ensure Rio Tinto has constant and efficient energy for critical applications and day-to-day use at Amrun. George Whyte, Managing Director of Aggreko Asia Pacific, said his team has delivered many similar applications and the focus now is completing the job on time and safely.

How safe is Aggreko Asia Pacific?

George Whyte, Managing Director of Aggreko Asia Pacific, said his team has delivered many similar applications and the focus now is completing the job on time and safely. “At Aggreko, we pride ourselves on our exceptional safety record,” Whyte said.
