Urban / Rural Applications
iPYRAMID™ arrays are suitable for installation above any
open spaces, including parking lots, factory or port
territories, railway and bus terminals, marine passenger
terminals, ponds and lakes, swimming pools, or waste sites,
to name a few.
The iPyramid system is fully customizable at no additional
cost. Adjustable height allows a solar array to be elevated
above the surface at a height of up to 10 meters. The space
between iPYRAMID™ collectors and the density of sub-arrays
can be adjusted depending on application requirements.
Adjustable spacing allows our customers to choose a system
optimal for the target energy output and a particular use of
the ground beneath the array.
Industrial rooftops are another practicable application of
iPYRAMID™ arrays. Quadra Solar’s CPV solutions enable the
conversion of non-productive rooftops of industrial
facilities into efficient power generation plants.
Farm Solar (Solar systems for agricultural areas/ applications)
Quadra Solar’s CPV solutions offer the promise of
significant economic and environmental benefits to farmers.
Farmers can benefit from self-powered farms. While iPYRAMID™
arrays harness solar energy, farmers and ranchers can
continue to raise crops and livestock beneath them.
Self-generated solar electricity benefits farmers by
lighting and heating buildings and greenhouses, drying
crops, and powering water pumps and irrigation systems.
The elevated configuration of an iPYRAMID™ CPV deployment
can be erected at a sufficient height above ground to allow
for the full productive use of the land beneath for
agricultural or other purposes. The well-spaced collector
bearing pipes allow 90-95% of sunrays to reach the ground
below. This translates into a considerable reduction of any
environmental land impact of the iPYRAMID™ system when
compared with conventional solar panel arrays. The iPYRAMID™
sub-arrays can be elevated to any required height, up to 10
meters, and spaced out optimally for the efficient
utilization of the farm grounds. The ease of customization
allows our customers to select the most appropriate
configuration for the particular usage of the land beneath.
