TSO achieves the homologation of its flexible solar panels in Dubai

TSO, The South Oracle, arrives to the end of 2018 with good news: the homologation by DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) of its ultralight flexible solar panels PSFU (eArche®). Therefore, it has become the first company offering a flexible panel within the Emirate of Dubai, where an ambitious project is being developed since last October.

Not in vain, Etihad ESCO, the public company created by DEWA to promote energy efficiency in this Emirates region, has deposited its trust on TSO’s expertise for the design of the solar photovoltaic power plant which will feed solar power to the Museum of the Future. This power plant will be integrated on the marquees of the Emirates Towers’ parking lot.

The Museum of the Future, currently under construction, will be unique in the world due to its design and innovation, which will set a turning point in the History of Architecture, and which, thanks to TSO , will be provided with an instantaneous self-consumption solar power plant.

DEWA has already issued the necessary permits to begin, within the next days, the installation works of this innovative solar power plant integrated in theEmirates Towers’ parking lot marquees, area where the Museum of the Future is located. With no visual impact, the solar plant will generate 282 MWh yearly and avoid some 170 Tn of CO2 emissions per year, equivalent to about 9,400 trees.

TSO and Beiman CPM Aljarafe sign the first PPA contract into Spanish healthcare sector

TSO, The South Oracle, has signed the first PPA into healthcare sector with Beiman CPM Aljarafe clinic, a multidisciplinary leading center in Spain.

The clinic will have a solar plant of 41.6 kWp for instant self-consumption, which will be installed over its 200 square meter rooftop space with the ultralight flexible solar panel, exclusive of TSO.

This installation will cover 89.35% of health center’s annual electricity day hours consumption and will reduce its annual emissions of CO2 in 28.600 kg, reaching an accumulated decrease of 673.700 kg throughout its estimated useful life.

Through PPA contracts, TSO offers their customers a non-risk way of financing while it takes care of all the bureaucracy system, engineering, installation to start-up the photovoltaic solar plant. In addition, the customer fixes his electricity price for 10 years, independently to electricity market prices, and will benefit from 100% of the savings.

ECO20®: made with solar energy

Other advantages of TSO PPA contract is the seal ECO20® , which certifies that the healthcare center is powered with electricity from the sun.

Similarly, on December in 2017, The South Oracle was pioneer in the photovoltaic market with the first PPA contract into Spanish agro-food sector. The beneficiary company was Patatas Arrebola Group, a Sevillian firm, which now has an instant self-consumption solar photovoltaic plant of 41.28 kWp, with an annual production of 50,000 kWh. (It reduces 26 tons of CO2 emissions per year).

 

 

 

TSO into Social Challenges Program

Last June, the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities granted funding to TSO -The South Oracle- to research in integrated solar urban plants and EV charging stations. To develop such project, TSO is working along with the National Renewable Energy Centre of Spain (CENER-CIEMAT). TSO awarded amount, 406.817 Euros, is to be invested in a 3-year R&D line in PSU patent, unique in Spain. In this path, TSO will influence an Investigation, Development and Innovation program fighting for Social Challenges, which objective is to search for social, economic and technological solutions to problems in our country, through constructing scientific knowledge and the qualify investigation.

TSO is a world pioneer in the solar photovoltaics sector thanks to its ultralight flexible solar panel, which enables versatile solar plants that produce low-cost clean electricity on all surface. With PSU patent, TSO converts any urban element into a solar photovoltaic generator, fostering cities and municipalities into “prosumers”.
