Solawedge® – Designed for flexibility
Solawedge® is a unique, inflatable mounting system that allows rapid deployment across unprepared land or water. Solawedge® has been developed to provide an autonomous off-grid power supply, integrating renewable-power and storage with diesel-power back-up to reduce fuel consumption, carbon emissions and carbon footprint.
Solawedge® is scalable and capable of delivering power from 1kw to 200kw and beyond in 1kw increments. In its standard setup the Solawedge® comprises of a 4Kw PV array, 6Kw/h battery pack and 6Kw stand-by generator and is capable of being operational within 2hrs of arriving on site.
Solawedge® has been designed specifically for operation in a broad range of environments. Its rugged architecture is equally at home on a desert in the middle east, a brown field site in the UK or a waterlogged rugby pitch in South Wales.
The results are spectacular, reducing build times by c90% when compared to a conventional mounting systems.
