“Pollution-free, radiation-free and profitable” green energy – Photovoltaic has set off an upsurge of photovoltaic applications all over the world. Well, in addition to the common photovoltaic roofs and photovoltaic walls What are the other applications of photovoltaic power generation? Have you seen them all?
Photovoltaic tree
If you don’t want to waste an open space, plant a photovoltaic tree! There are many tree types such as banyan, red maple, purple gold~
Photovoltaic public toilet
The shining photovoltaic panel in the sun is installed on the top of the public toilet building, which greatly increases the beauty of the public toilet.
In addition to improving the appearance of public toilets, architectural designers also give full consideration to the functions of energy conservation and environmental protection, so that the power consumption of public toilets can fully achieve “self-sufficiency”.
The generated energy can not only ensure the daily power consumption, lighting, and hot water use of the whole public toilets but also provide free charging services for citizens’ mobile phones.
Photovoltaic vehicle
If photovoltaic and automobile technologies can be organically integrated, clean energy + new energy vehicles + driverless technology, we may be able to solve our most traditional travel problems. Photovoltaic vehicles maybe the story of the next era!
The first panda-shaped photovoltaic power station
The photovoltaic power station has also been playing a new trick. In July 2017, the world’s first panda-shaped photovoltaic power station was completed in the suburbs of Datong, Shanxi Province, and has officially started grid-connected power generation.
The power station consists of black and white. The black part of the panda is composed of single-crystal silicon solar cells; The white part consists of thin-film solar cells.
After being put into operation, the power station can provide 3.2 billion kwh of green power within 25 years, which is equivalent to saving 1.056 million tons of coal and reducing 2.7 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Photovoltaic highway
At the end of 2017, Jinan South Ring Expressway became the world’s first expressway carrying the R &D and laying of photovoltaic pavement. This photovoltaic highway is full of “black technology”.
It can not only generate electricity by basking in the sun but also charge electric vehicles when running on it. After snow, it can melt the snow on the road by itself. I have to praise it! Of course, there is still a long way to go to industrialize the photovoltaic highway.
I don’t know what sparks will be produced by the organic combination of photovoltaic highway and electric vehicles in the future?
In this rapidly changing society, the future development trend must be automatic production and intelligent output. New technologies such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaic trees, and photovoltaic public toilets will become more and more common.
