Introduction

VISIONS WITH ENERGY

General Construction of a Photovoltaic System

Solar modules are fastened sturdily and permanently onto a substructure and connected to each other electrically. The direct current produced by the modules is gathered via the cables and conducted to so-called inverters which convert the direct current effectively into the alternating current that is used in the public supply grid (230 volt, 50 hertz). From here the electricity is fed into the public grid via a counter. The counter records the amount of electricity supplied, which is then remunerated by the energy supplier. In so-called stand-alone systems, the electricity is not fed into the grid, but is instead used on-site, e.g. in order to supply remote villages, hospital wards etc. in so-called isolated networks.

Important main components of a photovoltaic system connected to the grid:

1. The photovoltaic generator supplies direct current. (PV generator = electrically connected PV modules)2. The generator connection box collects the individual cables.3. An inverter turns the direct current into alternating current.

4. An input metre measures the electricity fed into the public grid.5. The consumption metre measures the electricity consumption of the inhabitants.

Visions with Energy

With electricity and heat from renewable energy sources, there is the splendid opportunity to actively counter the looming problems of resource scarcity and global climate change. Renewable energies allow independence from energy imports, strengthen industrial and economic growth and promote innovations in technical develop-ments. The amount of energy that the sun beams onto our planet every day is around 10000 times larger than the world’s energy consumption and does not cost us a cent. The solar energy that falls a square metre per year in Germany, corresponds to the energy content of 100 litres of oil. The available roof areas alone would secure half of the whole of Germany’s electricity requirements. The energy supply of the future will be a mix of regen-erative energies in which photovoltaic power will have a constantly increasing share. This will require first-class and long-lasting PV installations using high-quality prod-ucts and technological know-how.

The PV Market Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

At the end of 2007, PV plants across the world had a combined power of around 8 GW on the grid, just over half of those were in Germany. These plants produced less than 0.1 % of global electricity requirements, which demonstrates the enormous growth potential of photovoltaic power. In 2008, about 4 GW of photovoltaic power generation were newly installed, around 1.5 GW of it were in Germany. The global growth in PV installa-tions is enormous, at 56 % in 2007 and 73 % in 2008.

How the market is going to develop in 2010 and beyond is of course of greatest interest for all involved, and so there are many surveys that allows us a glimpse into the future. Accelerated growth is to be expected in the long term. Until the year 2020, the global growth in PV instal-lations will not fall below 20 %. The German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) is intended to ensure that the share of renewable energy in the power supply increases to 30 % by the year 2020 and that it continues to grow afterwards. The development of photovoltaics into a glo-bal key industry with hundreds of thousands of new jobs can no longer be held back.

current-producing efficiency is created. The manufactur-ing process determines which of these two is created. In both cases, after the molten mass has cooled off, the result are massive blocks that then have to be cut to the right shape and finally into thin slices. As an alternative to this, some manufacturers use other methods that avoid the costly sawing-apart of the silicon blocks. At last the surface get so called “doped” and the electrical contacts are attached. As an end-result one has poly- or monocrystalline solar cells. In the new generation of thin-film modules another form of silicon is used, which is deposited in very thin layers from a gas onto a backing material, such as a glass pane. Also, in thin-film modules, silicon can be entirely dispensed. More about this on page 42.

The Principle of Photovoltaics

The world is made of atoms, and atoms consist of a core and an external shell of electrons. If these electrons are excited by the supplying of energy, e.g. heating or irradiation, and if these mobile electrons in an electrical field are moved in a particular direction electricity flows. Only in a few materials can one observe this effect, and the best-known example is crystalline silicon. When the sun shines on pure crystalline silicon, however, nothing happens at first except that it becomes warmer. If, how-ever, one has cut the silicon into flat slices beforehand (“Wafer”) and selectively contaminated their surfaces with particular foreign substances (in the technical jargon: “doped”) so that an electrical field exists from the top side to the bottom side, this silicon wafer becomes a power supplier when exposed to the sun. For this purpose, electrical contacts are attached to the top and bottom side of these modules, e.g. by applying very fine, meshed solder filaments, to which a cable can then be connected. If one connects the cables from the top and bottom sides of such a solar cell then electricity flows. In a solar module, several such cells are connected electri-cally into a long series in which the electric voltages are added together, as when there are several batteries in a pocket lamp.

The Construction of a Solar Module:

The most important things in the solar module are the solar cells. These cells are normally square with an edge length of 5 or 6 inches (about 12½ or 15 centimetres) and have a thickness of only about 0.18 to 0.3 millime-tres. Highly pure silicon must in the long run be pro-tected against damp and dirt, which is why the electri-cally interconnected solar cells are completely encased with a transparent plastic shell, the so-called laminate. In most solar modules, this is ethyl-vinyl-acetate (EVA), an extremely long-lasting and robust material. The top of the solar module is covered with a glass pane, and a special film – or, more rarely, also glass - is used for the under-side. The whole thing is stiffened with an aluminium frame. On the back of the module is a small flat plastic box (“junction box“), emerging from which are only two one-metre cables, with one representing the positive and

the other the negative pole of the solar module. Currently, plugs are attached to the cable ends, allowing effortless and lastingly secure attachment of the cables. It depends on the solar module itself, but also on various other things, as to how many solar modules can be connected with each other in a row. This is an important part of the so-called “system layout“.

Where does Silicon come from?

Silicon is the second most common element on the Earth’s crust, after oxygen. It occurs there in the form of siliceous minerals or as silicon dioxide (SiO2). Sand con-sists primarily of silicon dioxide. Quartz, for example, is pure silicon dioxide. The transformation of this silicon di-oxide into raw silicon and its subsequent cleaning require the largest part of the energy that has to be expended in the manufacturing of solar modules. At the end of the

manufacturing process, either polycrystalline silicon with a purity level of over 99.999 % or monocrystalline silicon with an even higher level of purity and somewhat better

operation thus has a yield of 1040 kWh/kWp /year. If one aussumes that the irradiation on that PV plant does not on average differ greatly from year to year, then one has a good indication of what level of energy yield is to be expected in future.

Because the majority of all PV plants are currently financed by the sale of electricity, knowledge of the yield to be expected over long periods of time is the most important aspect of planning any plant. Recognised com-puter programmes (“PV software”) are used to simulate future income from the energy yield. It is understandable that the yields do not only depend on the plant itself but also on the place where they are set up. In that context, the number of hours of direct sunlight at the respective site is of particular importance. In this respect, south-ern regions of Germany such as Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg have an advantage over the country’s northern regions. The so-called irradiance maps, which are published by various publishing houses and websites, provide an indication of yields to be expected.

What is Efficiency of a Solar Module?

The efficiency of a solar module states how much of the radiant energy supplied by the sun is transformed into electrical energy. Since the electricity production of solar modules varies very strongly in different weather and light conditions, the efficiency of each module is calcu-lated for so-called standard conditions. Solar modules are irradiated in test laboratories, with an illuminance of 1000 watt per square metre at a temperature of 25 °C and with a defined light spectrum.

At the same time the values for current and voltage are measured on the solar module and the electrical perform-ance in watts per square metre of module surface is cal-culated from this. The ratio of this electrical output to the originally beamed in light output of 1000 watt produces is the efficiency. An example: If this irradiation results in an electric output of 170 watt per square metre of the module surface in the test laboratory, then this ratio of 170 watt to 1000 watt is equal to 17 %. The efficiency for crystalline solar modules typically lies between 12 and now up to 20 %, and 5 to 12 % for thin-film modules.

As one would expect, with the current yield from the irradiated solar energy at 5 to 20 %, research is being carried out all over the world with the aim of increasing the efficiency and new technologies are being developed to increase the efficiency of photovoltaics. It is also worth pointing out two things here. Firstly, the photovoltaic effect in semiconductor elements such as silicon has physical limits (not even an efficiency of “only” 50 % can be achieved), and secondly that the energy received from the sun is free. So even if only 15 % of this energy is con-verted into electricity by a module, this electricity is still at no charge. Much more important in this context is keep-ing the production costs of the module within limits that are reasonable for everyone. Increasing the efficiency and simultaneously reducing the price are the central ele-ments for developing photovoltaics into a “global player” in the energy supply of the future.

How much Electricity is produced by Photovoltaic Plants?

If on a fine sunny day the combined output of e.g. six modules is precisely 1000 W for one hour, then this small photovoltaic system has produced precisely one kilowatt hour (kWh). This amount of energy is known as a unit of energy consumption for both electricity and heat. With this amount of energy one could use a vacuum cleaner with a power of 1000 W for one hour. In order to be able to compare different photovoltaic systems with each other, it has been agreed to always relate the kilowatt hours produced by them to the installed rated power of the PV plant. The unit of yield of photovoltaic plants is thus the kilowatt hour per installed rated power, or kWh/kWpeak. Since the PV systems produce more electricity in summer with plenty of sun and correspondingly less in winter, it is useful to state each of the yields for a whole year. For example, a plant that consists of modules with a total rated power of 4000 wattp (= 4 kWp) and has supplied 4160 kilowatt hours of energy in its first year of

The decrease of the feed-in tariff by the federal government is scheduled for a period of less than

a year. Please don’t hesitate to contact us about the newest information on the feed-in rate.

How expensive is Solar Electricity?

As a rule of thumb, a manufacturer of solar modules can reduce his costs by half with every tenfold increase of the production and sales figures. With the current growth forecasts and slightly increasing prices for electricity from fossil fuels (even uranium is becoming scarcer), solar electricity will be as cheap or even already cheaper than electricity from the public grid by 2020. Another reason for the costs pressure on the manufacturers is the year-by-year lowering of the feed-in tariff, stipulated in the EEG. For example, in Germany in 2020 one will only receive between 11.2 and 15.4 cent/kWh with the new installation of a PV plant. Anyone wanting to generate a high return from sales will set up his plant in the next few years, and anyone who simply wants to buy clean, cheap electricity can look to a sustainably bright future with photovoltaics.

Is a Photovoltaic Plant economical?

Due to the very costly process of manufacturing the required purest silicon and the production plants itself, photovoltaics is a very cost-intensive technology. The solar electricity produced is currently among the most expensive types of electricity. On the other hand, this form of energy has turned out to be so advantageous, due to its sustainability, environmentally friendly nature and universal availability, that many countries, most of all Germany and Europe,

have decided with political requirements to financially support the development and spread of PV plants. The decisive element here was the introduction of feed-in tariffs that guarantee to the producer of electricity from renewable sources the long-term purchasing of his elec-tricity at attractive conditions.

This decision has lead to a genuine boom in photovolta-ics, first in Germany and later across the world, because it immediately became profitable to invest in a PV plant. In 2004 a lot of PV systems were installed that represent-ed one of the most lucrative investment forms of recent years, with returns of more than 12 %. The remuneration for solar power has now sunk so far, due to annual reduc-tion of the feed-in tariff, that “normal“ returns between 3 % and 8 % can be striven for and also reached. Here, the financial institutions, such as banks for example, have recognised that investments in solar plants are very se-cure. In order for a solar current plant to also remain eco-nomical in future, the prices of the required components must sink to at least the same extent as the payments for the solar electricity.

Due to the global growth of the PV industry with the cost-reducing effect of the mass production of solar modules this trend is also noticeable. For orientation, one can assume that a solar plant will amortizeds itself after about fifteen years; also up to three years earlier depend-ing on the financing model. The electricity will be bought at set conditions for twenty years.

Solar Power is sustainable Climate Protection

According to a study of the European PV Industry As-sociation (EPIA), the output of photovoltaic plants installed around the world will in 2030 be 912 gigawatts and will produce more than 1200 terawatt hours of solar electricity. The amount of CO2 emissions cut out by this measure, as against fossil fuels, would then be 7775 million tons per year, corresponding to the emissions from over 200 coal power stations*. In 2007, the saving on CO2 compared with the supply mix at that time was 683 g CO2 per kWh of solar electricity**. The total amount avoided due to PV plants was 2.4 million tons. With the right handling of the currently existing trade in emission rights, the influence of renewable energies as a whole can have an enormously positive influence on the atmosphere’s CO2 levels. A solar plant has produced the energy necessary for its manu-facture after about 1 to 5 years (depending on the level of technology), whereas the thin-film modules of the future, in particular, will already have achieved this value within less than a year. According to the German Renewable Energy Federation (BEE), just over every tenth kWh of electricity consumption in Germany in 2008 were produced from renewable energy resources, of which 4.4 billion kWh*** were produced by photovoltaic plants.

What is a good PV Plant?

A good PV plant is characterised by the fact that it meets a large number of quality requirements. In the end, it will only be seen in retrospect how well a PV plant was planned and installed. During at least the whole period in which it feeds electricity into the grid to finance itself – normally over 20 years in Germany – it must produce the yield initially calculated.

The more this yield exceeds the expected value, the bet-ter the plant has been designed and / or the higher the quality of the components used. Essentially, the require-ments can be divided into three groups: Good planning, first-class installation and high-quality solar modules (see tables on the right).

SCHOTT solar


POLY 300

Double Glass Module ScHOtt Poly 300

the SCHOTT Poly 300 is the result of the consistent continuation of the polycrystalline product range of ScHOtt Solar. It is the largest model in this series and permits the efficient installation of a high power density in your PV system: a welcome reduction of the workload in the case of larger systems. In addition, the installation of this module reinforces the system’s homogeneous appearance. In this module, high-quality and uncompromisingly tested 6-inch polycrystalline cells are installed by ScHOtt Solar. With a permitted pressure or pulling load of 550 kg/m² it can be used practically everywhere, even in areas with strong winds and heavy snow. the 50 mm thick, anodised frame, free of hollow spaces, also ensures high torsional stiffness and also protects the module for more than 30 years.

Advantageous Installationthe big advantage in the installation is the time saved per kilowatt: One difference to the Poly 225 is that two additional, complete, vertical rows of cells are built into the ScHOtt Poly 300. the module thus reaches dimensions of 1.69 m by 1.31 m and with a weight of 41.5 kg it should be carried by two people. the open circuit voltage of 48.1 V to 48.9 V and a maximum system voltage of 1000 V still allows 17 modules to be connected in series in the string, with the temperature coefficient of – 0.47 %. the cables of the connection box are substantially longer than with the smaller models in the Poly range, measuring 0.9 m at the negative pole and 2.1 m at the positive pole.

A new technology is blazing its trail

thin-layer technology is setting new standards in the production of solar modules and will conquer at least twenty-percent share of the global PV market in the medium term. Unlike crystalline technology, the photoac-tive material is applied to what are now very large pieces of backing material, by means of a deposition process. Of decisive importance here is the massive saving on energy and material, because the film is only one to two thousandths of a millimetre thick. As a comparison: crystalline silicon solar cells are about 180 – 300 µm thick (1 mm=1000 µm). In addition, the production of thin-film modules takes place with much fewer work steps, because e.g. electrical connection within the module already occurs in the coating. As a result, thin-film mod-ules are substantially cheaper to manufacture, especially if it is carried out in a framework of mass production. the lower area efficiency of such modules erodes part of the cost advantage, with increased area and material requirements in installation, but on the other hand, for example, the yields are higher in comparison with crystal-line technology due to better functioning in weak light and other characteristics.

construction of thin-Film Modules

the structure of the photoactive film is essentially similar in all thin-Film modules: An electrically conductive and transparent film (the so-called tcO film), a photoactive film (the so-called absorber), and a rear side contact are applied onto a glass pane and cut into strips using a la-ser. the strips can be 5 to 30 mm wide, and the interrup-tions are only a few micrometres and are hardly visible. As a result means of skilful coating and laser cutting, the front film of a strip is electrically connected along its whole length to the rearmost film of the adjacent strip, through the absorbing film. A vertical strip of a thin-film module thus represents, so to speak, the single cell that is horizontally electrically connected to all the others, in series. A glass or film pane can then act as the back. With particular thin-film modules, the coating must start with the back of the module; these modules are neces-sarily double-glass modules.

Materials of thin-Film technology

• Silicon:Silicon can be amorphous (a-Si), microcrystalline (µ-Si) or micromorphous (a combination of a-Si and µ-Si, is also called “tandem“). these technologies are now provid-ing degrees of efficiency between 5 % (a-Si) and 9 % (micromorphous). A special feature of silicon in its non-crystalline form is the so-called initial degradation within the first months of use: the initial output of the module is sometimes up to 25 % above the output stated by the manufacturer and fluctuates after a while to its stable value, which is stated in the specifications. Another characteristic is the so-called annealing effect with amor-phous silicon, which leads to the efficiency rising again during summer.• CdTe:Cadmium telluride has already been used in thin-film modules for several years. the efficiency is 10 % to 11 %. Here too, research is being carried out to increase the efficiency. • CIS oder auch CIGS:this is a mixture of copper, indium and (di-)selenide or sulphide. In most cases, it also contains gallium, which is why the term cIGS technology is also used. Increas-ingly often, however, this technology is referred to as cIS, regardless of whether it is with or without gallium. this technology provides a efficiency of 9 % to 12 % with a substantial potential for increases. Modules using this technology are produced in substrate assembly, i.e. the coating starts with the back, which is why such modules have up to now necessarily been produced as double-glass modules.

• Others:Across the world, research is being carried out on other materials for photovoltaics, especially as regards the as-pects of encapsulation and cost reduction. this research includes technologies for simple printing onto e.g. film (nano-technology) or the use of plastics in so-called or-ganic photovoltaics. Flexible thin-film modules on plastic or metal films have passed the trial phase with some manufacturers and are also being used to an increasing extent.

Advantages of thin-Film technology

More Yield for the Installed Outputthin-Film modules have more advantageous absorp-tion behaviour, so that the output losses at times when there is weaker light and an unfavourable orientation towards the sun are normally lower than for their crystal-line counterparts. In addition to this, the temperature coefficients for thin-film modules with amorphous and micromorphous silicon are so low that the outputs also fall less with heat. And finally, thin-film modules normally only react to shadow in proportion to the share of shaded area, whereas with crystalline modules whole module parts can be affected, even when only a single cell is in the shade.

Higher Aesthetics and Solar ArchitectureBecause of their homogeneous, dark appearance, thin-film modules “simply look better” in the opinion of many customers. In addition, thin-film modules can also be used in the façade and make a major contribution to solar architecture.

EcologyDue to the energy saving in production, the energy cost of thin-film modules is balanced out substantially earlier: now after only a year or less.

Advice on the Use of thin-Film technology

1. Almost all manufacturers of thin-film modules demand the electrical earthing of the negative pole of the direct current side, in order to prevent an effect that could be observed in thin-film modules a few years ago: Corrosion of the TCO Film tests showed that this effect was due to an electrical potential between the negative pole and the earth and was remedied by earthing the negative pole (in-cidentally, the positive pole is affected in the case of par-ticular crystalline technologies). As a result, galvanically separating inverters normally have to be used, which is to say transformer devices or transformerless devices with a negative-pole-neutral-line connection. On our behalf, our affiliated company EnWi-Etec GmbH has developed an earthing kit that can be used to earth the negative pole of the Dc side, regardless of the inverter manufacturer.

2. Due to the electrical characteristics of the tcO layer, the vertical strips of the module can be made very thin in the case of many thin-film modules, which leads to a large number of individual “cells” per module and in the end to relatively high voltages due to their electrical serial connection. this makes the parallel electrical connection of modules more important in the designing of systems, especially when the permitted system voltage is limited to 800 V or 600 V.

We offer a large number of prefabricated technical solu-tions for this purpose, in order to achieve convenient parallel connections. this also includes the GcBs, for particular modules, developed on our behalf by our affili-ated company EnWi-Etec GmbH.

3. Undesired or accepted shade brings the risk of so-called back current. In the case of crystalline modules, back currents from 10 A to 20 A are normally tolerated, but thin-film modules are substantially more sensitive. this means that fewer strings can be connected in paral-lel, or that parallel strings should be specially protected against back-currents. We also always offer the right solution for this, such as in the form of a diode board - integrated in the GcB – that guarantees this protective function reliably and conveniently.

Now look at our range of thin-film modules on the following pages. For each of three technologies (amorphous silicon, micromorphous silicon and CIS technology) we offer products from two manufactur-ers. We are thus better prepared for the approaching trend than anybody else.

ASI 100SCHOTT solar

ASI 100

ScHOtt ASI 100the SCHOTT ASI module impresses most of all with the proven quality of the renowned manufacturer and with above-average yields over the years. A main advantage of this module lies in the nature of the amorphous silicon that has been used: the output-temperature coefficient of - 0.2 %/°c has yet to be equalled and ensures a substantial advantage in yield against other technologies, especially at high temperatures. In addition, with amorphous silicon the so-called “annealing effect” leads to a regeneration of power efficiency at hot temperatures giving an additional yield during summer. With a low open circuit voltage of about 24 V and a back-current resistance of 15 A, this module is suitable for all normal system configura-tions and allows the connection of long strings.

With its generous dimensions and a weight of only 18 kg, this module en-sures speedy, efficient and simple installation. During the first few months, the initial output of the ScHOtt ASI is about 18 % above the output stated by the manufacturer, but the system is set up according to the rated out-put. this leads to free additional output in the first few weeks, unless the inverter cuts off the output peaks, due to excessive irradiation.

SN2

SUNFILM SN2

Sunfilm AG, Großröhrsdorf, and Sontor GmbH, Bitterfeld-Wolfen, merged in July 2009 to become one of the world’s biggest suppliers of silicon-based tandem thin-film modules. the new company trades under the name Sunfilm AG. As the competition in the photovoltaic industry intensi-fies around the world, Sunfilm will thereby have the appropriate size and expertise to profit substantially from the growth market in thin-film solar modules. Sunfilm will further develop the thin-film technology and thus reduce the cost of producing solar energy in the medium term.

Module characteristics

the filmless and frameless double-glass construction of SUNFILM SN2 allows use in even difficult environments. together with the HaWi lam-inate-installation system developed by us for frameless, linear arranged modules this gives a long-lasting, valuable and extremely attractive-looking system that is practically unique. the practical dimensions of 1.684 mm x 1.056 mm and a efficiency of up to 8.4 % ensure efficient installation and consistently high yields. Despite the relatively high open circuit voltage, 5 modules can be connected in series before parallel con-nection is used. Only where there are more than 5 parallel strings are the modules protected by phase fuses against possible back currents. During the first 3 months the initial output can be 15 % higher than the stated rated output.

SOLAR FRONTIER

Sc80-EX-ASOLAR FRONTIER

Sc80-EX-A

SOLAR FRONtIER Sc80-EX-ASolar Frontier is a 100 % subsidiary of the Japanese manufacturer Showa Shell K.K. and has been entrusted with the marketing of the cIS modules. In Europe, the original product is currently offered exclusively by HaWi. the module SC80-EX-A from Solar Frontier does not use silicon for pro-ducing electricity but instead a mix of copper, indium and selenide. the attractive, homogeneous, black appearance is combined with substan-tially higher average output and yields that remain reliable for many years. the combination of the sturdy double-glass cIS laminate with a 35 mm black, anodised, twin-wall frame and the special HaWi module brackets provides lastingly high outputs and an attractive look.

With degrees of efficiency between 8.8 % and 10.7 % these modules are no longer far behind their crystalline cousins, and extremely satisfied customers are increasingly reporting of yields that are exclusively higher than expected. the confidence in this product is emphasised by a 5-year guarantee. the module is of course certified to IEc 61646.If more than two strings are connected in parallel then phase fuses should be used, such as the diode boards developed by our affiliated company EnWi, which are already integrated in the GcB and ensure convenient cabling. the modules are very manageable in size, measuring 1.23 by 0.64 metres, and can be installed simply and quickly. Solar Frontier is one of the few manufacturers of thin-film modules to refrain entirely from the use of cadmium.

sSMA SUNNY MINI CENTRAL

7000HV

This inverter with galvanic separation is a true champion, and not just for thin-film modules. With a large input voltage range of 335 V – 560 V and a maximum DC voltage of 800 V, strings with more modules and a higher total voltage can than be connected with other devices. The NF transformer topology and the proven and effective passive ventilator OptiCool ensure lasting high yields. This compact power pack can be combined very well with large PV plants, thanks to the innovative, built-in power-balancer, which prevents possible unbalanced loads in several devices of this size. HaWi has been the first company to successfully put this concept, which is also to be found with the other SMCs (these are transformerless), onto the grid in Bavaria. SMC 7000HV-11 is the right solution if the energy supplier demands the provision of reactive power at the grid access point.

Your advantages at a glance:• up to 800 V input voltage

• highly-efficient cooling system OptiCool

• galvanic separation

• integrated DC circuit breaker ESS

• power balancer

• optional guarantee amounts 25 years,

standard guarantee 5 years

The inverter SMC 7000HV will be replaced by SMC 7000HV-11 in week 18, 2010.

SMA SUNNY MINI CENTRAL

4600A/5000A/6000A

The 96.1% maximum efficiency of this product range, which is first-rate for transformer devices, ensures that the highest yields are fed reli-ably into the grid. The fine gradation of the output classes of this series enables highly flexible plant planning. The SMC 4600A / 5000A / 6000A is excellently suited to installations with smaller plants as well as with those of up to several hundred kilowatts. The lowest output class, with a rated AC output of 4600 W, is precisely below the critical transition point to an unbalanced load and thus simplifies plant design for single-phase systems. The devices are fitted with the efficient cooling system OptiCool and have proven their worth across a broad range of temperatures. Due to the galvanic separation, these inverters are also suitable for thin-film modules. Another reason why these devices from the market and technological leader SMA are good sellers for us is that they are very well suited to the combination of several devices to make three-phase systems in the medium output range.

6000TL/7000TL/8000TL

Probably the best-known product among the SMA inverters is the transformerless 8000TL, partly because it impressed the Photon editorial team and it received a straight 1 for „very good” in their test, for both medium and strong solar irradiation. This product line is supplemented by the 6000TL and 7000TL and thus provides excellent initial conditions for setting up plants from around 18 kW up to several 100 kW, via finely graduated output ranges, and that is with a superb efficiency of 98 % and an extremely favourable price-performance ratio. The opinion of the press is also our opinion: for medium to large plants, it will be difficult to find a better device.

True to the slogan “All your wishes come true!“, KACO has developed the Powador 00xi series, with transformerless devices that are distinguished by maximum efficiency of 96.3 % to 96.4 % and a broad MPP range of 350 – 600 V. In keeping with the corresponding KACO philosophy of the “highest reliability and running stability for the benefit of the customer“, the inverters have been given a large number of technical refinements for the greatest possible reliability and safety, such as e.g. all-current-sensi-tive fault current monitoring, redundant three-phase monitoring conform-ing to VDE 0126 (with single-phase feed-in), an integrated DC circuit breaker (“DC-switch“) and the potential-free fault-indicating contact. All devices are cooled by convection, so there are no ventilators to act as potential sources of faults.

KACO POWADOR

4000 supreme

In using the Powador 4000 supreme, highest yields can be realized with highest efficiencies. For this purpose, the single-phase device can be operated in the power boost mode with a frequency of 9 kHz (standard setting of18 kHz) by means of a jumper on the control board thus further reducing the switching losses of the power semiconductors which are already low and slightly increasing the efficiency. The Powador 4000 supreme has the same basic characteristics as the other KACO inverters without transformer. One of these devices is suited for PV plants having a generator power up to 5250 W. The Powador 4000 supreme devices certainly have a standard guarantee of 7 years.

KACO POWADOR

6400xi/6650xi/7200xi/8000xi

As well as the already extremely successful 8000 device in the 00xi series, KACO is now also offering the 6400xi and 7200xi and thus closing the gap to the 5000 device. The larger-sized transformerless power packs 6400xi, 6650xi, 7200xi and 8000xi are distinguished by an outstanding maximum efficiency of 96.5 % to 97.4 % and a broad MPP range of 350 V to 600 V. In keeping with the corresponding KACO philosophy of the “highest reliability and running stability for the benefit of the customer“, the inverters have been given a large number of technical refinements for the greatest possible reliability and safety, such as e.g. all-current-sensitive error-current monitoring, redundant three-phase monitoring conforming to VDE 0126 (with single-phase feed-in), an integrated DC circuit breaker (“DC-switch“) and the potential-free fault-indicating contact. All devices are cooled by convection, so there are no ventilators to act as potential sources of faults. The built-in sym bus ensures that the grid imbalance does not exceed the maximum permitted limit of 4.6 kW even in the case of a malfunction in the device.

Your advantages at a glance:• integrated phase fuses for up to 4 strings

• additional imbalance monitoring via special KACO sym bus

KACO

Relay 33

An inverter equipped with a relay 33 detects the current power of the PV plant. It makes sure that your home appliances are directly operated with the excess current. Due to your own consumption, the electricity costs are reduced and you generate higher yields compared to the exclusive feed-in. The German Renewable Energy Law of 2009 stipulates in § 33 para. 2 a feed-in tariff of 25 cents per kilowatt hour for the own con-sumption of electricity generated by photovoltaic systems. According to a calculation of KACO, a family of four with a 5 kW plant, consuming the solar current by its own, can manage to obtain a surplus of nearly 4000 EUR. Of course the relay can be refitted at any time in all inverters with transformer.

Your advantages at a glance:• generate higher yields compared to

the feed-in

• consume your own solar electricity

• no longer worry about energy providers and their rising prices

25000xi/30000xi/33000xi (M/L/XL)

The transformerless three-phase central inverters from KACO are enjoying increasing popularity, because they can replace several string inverters, have an excellent maximum efficiency of 96.5 %, and normally represent a lower-priced alternative. The devices have been developed and optimised for demanding tasks and the highest yields in large PV systems. Each one of the three DC inputs has its own independent MPP tracker with an adaptation efficiency of 99.5 %. Because of this, it is no longer necessary to have an additional phase fuse. The cooling concept has been developed for extreme climate conditions. A potential-free fault-indication relay has been integrated, as is typical for KACO. With us, you receive these devices in the so-called “design version M”, in which a DC circuit breaker is incorporated in the inverter. Further versions on enquiry.

Connection Components for PV Power Plants

The “EnWi Grid-Cluster” simplifies the installation work on the construc-tion site. The double-walled aluminium cabinet contains the entire AC installation as well as the DC protective circuit with overvoltage protection. Similarly, all bus connections are continuously connected and provided with protection against overvoltage.

In order to generate an optimal climate in the cabinet, the cabinet is pro-vided with supply air via an infinitely variable ventilator unit in the roof of the cluster. Plate-type air filters are set into the base of the housing in order to prevent the penetration of dirt.

The “EnWi Energy Station” is a ready-to-connect solution for central inverters. The robust and thermally optimised construction offers optimal conditions for the operation of inverters and thus guarantees a long opera-tional life. Installation times are minimised by this concept. Ready-installed monitoring systems guarantee fast connection into any monitoring portal and facilitate the management of operation.

AC Distributor Systems

AC distributor systems are pre-assembled solutions for EU countries in which an AC circuit breaker is required. The advantage of the ready-to-connect solutions is the time and money saved in the installation.

Individual Components

Innovations for the PV Market

Generator Connection Boxes for Standard Applica-tions with and without Phase Fuses

GCBs for standard applications function as collection devices for the individual strings in the module field, minimising the cost of cabling. The cables and modules are protected against unreliably high error currents. In the versions with overvoltage protection they also protect the module field and the inverter against atmospheric overvoltage couplings. Thanks to the fuse holders, which function as circuit breakers, measurements can be car-ried out in the module field without much effort.

Generator Connection Boxes with Blocking Diodes for Thin-Film Technology

GCBs with blocking diodes serve to protect and gather the individual line conductors and thin-film modules in PV plants.

Advantages:• provide the greatest possible safety against back currents • substantially reduce the time and money required for cabling in the PV plant• act as a measuring point for maintenance work and fault finding

Preliminary Collectors for Central Inverterswith and without Various Measuring Systems

For plants with central inverters, several generator connection boxes are generally used. Most collectors located in the module field are known as preliminary collectors or array boxes.

In preliminary collectors specially adapted for the PV market, nearly all the string lines of the PV generator are combined. The DC cable and the module are protected against excessively high short-circuit currents by the string fuses. It is also recommended to have a circuit breaker in the sub-system, for maintenance purposes. The overvoltage protection protects the PV generator and inverter against overvoltage couplings. The string current measurement and analyses allow the plant operator to detect failures and deviations in the performance of the individual strings and thus to avoid breakdowns and reductions in yield.

Group Collectors for PV Power Plants

Group collectors are used if several small preliminary collectors are built into the field in large PV power plants or a circuit breaker or overvoltage protection is required due to the technical design of the inverter. Where there are four or more parallel strings, fuses are installed in order to protect the main lines.The group collectors are generally positioned directly next to the inverter, in order to allow easy disconnection on the DC side when necessary.

Mounting Systems

Easy to install, especially sturdy and long-lasting – thanks to these characteristics, many compa-nies carrying out installation work use the HaWi mounting systems. Sophisticated and detailed solutions and high-quality materials guarantee safety and a long useful life. Our facade and flat-roof mounting systems are project-related manu-factured.

Installation System: From a technical stand-point, the type and means of module mounting is very important, because only when the solar module is securely mounted it can produce energy without any malfunctions.

Development: In order to ensure this, our technicians are constantly working on the further development of our installation systems. The company’s own design and development depart-ment cooperates closely with external structural design agencies.

PV Installation Systems made by HaWi

With the single-layered clamp system HaWi Midi, installations can be car-ried out quickly and cheaply (dimensions in accordance with the applicable DIN 1055). Our technicians calculate the minimum number of necessary fastening points from different variables (incl. snow strain, wind strain, roof slope). If it is necessary to use a cross-connector system, the mount-ing system HaWi Midi plus offers the appropriate solution. The module clamps with toothed clamping areas mean that it is no longer necessary to have an earthing cable from module to module. The embossed locking teeth (protected by patent law) in the application area of the Allen head screw enables installation without the retaining washers that are otherwise necessary. The mounting system HaWi Midi sets new standards as regards quality of materials and finish.

Your advantages at a glance:•HaWi Midi is, with the exception

of the aluminium cross bearer rails, made entirely from stainless steel.

•Extremelyshortinstallationtimesareallowed by – among other things – the VA slot nut, for locking into the aluminium carrier sections.

•ModuleclampsandAllenheadscrews feature embossed locking teeth. This makes the use of retaining washers unnecessary.

HaWi RoofIn (PV System Roof Integration)

HaWi RoofIn is a complete system for the integration of framed solar mod-ules into roofs typically constructed with rafters and battens and having an inclination angle from 10 to 70 degrees. At first, the existing roof covering is replaced by troughed sheets on which the modules are mounted.

At the edge of the modules field, the system is completed by intelligent vertical and horizontal attachment devices enabling a very small distance to the adjacent roof tiles. In this so-called attachment area sophisticated and especially manufactured connecting plates and weather-proof sealing mate-rials of high quality are used. In consequence, the roof remains weather-proof.Aluminium rails are fixed (with rivets or screws) onto selected troughed sheets then forming the mounting basis for solar modules which is the same as with roof-top solar plants. As is the rule, the required number of rails and mounting points are individually determined according to the local conditions. Consequently, the photovoltaic plant is not just installed on the roof but “integrated into the roof” on the same level as the roof tiles, a solu-tion that is preferred by many people as a nicer alternative.

HaWi RoofIn is extremely versatile, can be mounted very fast and above all it is a complete solution consisting of components from one source.

•Norigidconnectionbetweenthemodule and the assembly support. The modules are generally placed uninterrupted end-to-end lengthways between EPDM profiles. This ensures that the different types of load on the assembly support are not passed on to the modules.

•Onlyslightuseoftoolsnecessary.

HaWi laminated Mounting System for linear Placing of frameless Modules

The common types of module (module thickness of 6.0 – 11.0 mm) can be attached with almost all types of installation and roof coverings, using the “HaWi Laminate Mounting System” for frameless modules placed in a line. The module laminates are not connected rigidly with the installation system, but instead joined flush and firmly to the system via a special profil-ing of the aluminium and rubber profiles. In the gripping area, the modules are placed lengthways in a continuous line between the EPDM profiles. This special type of mounting prevents forces from the inevitable movements of the substructure from being passed into the modules, and prevents wind and snow from causing damage, such as tension cracks on the module. In addition to the installation largely freeing the module of strain, the lami-nates can be mounted on the roof with only a little tool-work, which is a major advantage in terms of time and safety. Due to the use of assembling jigs, there is also no need for time-consuming alignment of the modules. As with the other installation systems “made by HaWi“, corrosion resistant materials such as aluminium and stainless steel are used in the laminate system. In addition, the sensitive laminate edges are generally enclosed on two sides in UV and aging-resistant EPDM profiles on the longest sides of the module. Our systems are of course in dimensions in accordance with the valid DIN 1055. The type of mounting necessary for the specific project is supplied, taking into account the circumstances at the site.

ConSole

Compatible with almost all Modules

The HaWi ConSole makes it possible to fasten all solar modules up to 225 Wp quickly and easily on flat roofs. The installation system is long-lasting, maintenance-free and consists of 100 % chlorine-free, recycled polyethylene (HDPE).

Modules can be mounted very quickly and cost-effectively on the loaded ConSole at an angle of 25°.The ConSoles meet the high requirements of the technical control board (TÜV) regarding quality and safety.

Simple and Quick Installation:

If your flat roof can only support a small additional roof load, then the ConSoles generally offer the optimal solution. With a weight of only 4.5 to 7.5 kg, the stackable ConSoles are relatively light and can thus also be transported simply and cheaply onto any roof.

The ConSoles are then placed in a row on the roof, facing south. If several rows are used, the possible mutual shading is prevented simply, by making the spacing between the rows roughly double the width of a module.

HaWi Ground mounted System

In addition to the integration of photovoltaic plants into buildings, it is also possible to set up such systems on free spaces. This solution is particularly to be considered in the case of plants with high outputs.

Ground mounted plants do not differ greatly from built-in plants as regards their fundamental technical design. As with flat roof plants, the modules are held by appropriate substructures.

HaWi Flat Roof System

The mounting of standard modules on flat roofs makes large existing roofs with a slight slope, e.g. of factory buildings and workshops, and also small private roof areas attractive for use in producing solar power. Even with new buildings, this type of set-up is frequently chosen if roofs have to be built with a slight slope for architectural or financial reasons. Often the solar technology on the flat roof is hidden from view. Because of the positive price-performance ratio, the possibility of retro fitting and due to the higher yields, compared with a module area that is only slightly inclined, mounting on flat roofs is certainly one of the most frequent types of installation.

Flat roof mounting systems are available for the following types of roof and roof coverings:

•metal covering (trapezoidal profile troughed sheet or corrugated sheet)•gravel•sheeting or green roofs

•Profile systems made of steel or aluminium with concrete-block load-ing – for achieving penetration-free installation on flat roofs. To protect the property, building protection mats are attached under the installation system.

•Profile systems made of steel or aluminium for fixing to the metal roof coverings, possible with or without penetration of the roofing, depending on the roof covering.

•Tray-like systems made of plastic or sheet metal with building protection mat to protect the property.

•Green roof systems and installation systems on sheeting roofs – compre-hensive profile systems made of steel or aluminium with or without penetra-tion of the roofing.

Plant Monitoring

What is Plant Monitoring?

In order to ensure profitability, a PV plant must normally produce the maximum current yield in constant opera-tion for twenty years, and down time must be avoided as far as possible. Good plant monitoring ensures an immediate reaction as soon as something in the PV plant is not running as well as it should. For example, an SMS or an e-mail is sent to the plant technician if one of the inverters is suddenly no longer running with its usual performance – even at the weekend. The fault indication can thus be dealt with immediately, instead of one only recognising at the end of the month that less energy has been produced. Depending on the size of the plant, there is on average one plant failure every five years, caused by e.g. biting by wild animals, failure of the inverter or a grid failure on the part of the energy-supplier. One is also informed immediately if dirt or anything else is obstruct-ing the sunlight. The speed of the reaction in such a case decides the extent of the loss in yield.

Set-Up of a Plant Monitoring System

The centre of any plant monitoring system is the central data-logger, which is connected to the energy meter and/or the inverters, to the Internet and/or the alarm device and optionally also to various sensors. The data logger thus represents the link of all plant data to the outside world.(see diagram below)

Convenient Yield Analysis

Plant monitoring can do even more: Data about the cur-rent or previous total yield, about the performance of the plant or other analytical parametres can be called at any time, via the Internet from the home living room or even when on holiday, and received in a user-friendly form. The

Plant Monitoring from MeteocontrolMeteocontrol is an internationally orientated company that has been providing products and services in the areas of energy and weather for 30 years. The company is based in Augsburg and a co-founder of the company is the popular “weather frog” Jörg Kachelmann. Independ-ently from the ranges of different inverter manufacturers, we offer you a comprehensive solution for plant monitor-ing, for every customer requirement, with the entire range of the market leader meteocontrol.

Your Advantages with Meteocontrol Plant Monitoring:

•TheMeteocontrolmonitoringsystemistheonlyone that can calculate the target yield of your plant, taking into account the plant, the site and the day’s conditions, and compare it with the actual yield. So you always know the answer to the question: is my plant producing as much as should be possible today?•Meteocontrolcanbeusedwithalmostanyinverter.•Obstructionofsunlightduetosnowisrecognisedby satellite.•Thesystemoffersanendlessvarietyofanalysisoptions in the form of tables or graphics or as an exportable file, e.g. for Excel.•Endlessmemoryoffersacomparisonwitheverydayin the past, even the first.•Severalsmallerplantscanbecombinedintoasolar park, irrespective of site, for e.g. operating companies.•widevarietyofintegratedalarmoptionsareintegrated: via Internet and e-mail, SMS, fax or directly on-site•anintegratedcomprehensiveInternetportalisincluded

What do I need for complete Plant Monitoring?Communication OptionA telephone connection is required on site, otherwise a modem can be connected to the mobile radio network. Optionally, it is also possible to use just an ethernet con-nection for connection to a local network or PC.

Data LoggerThe data logger is the centre of plant monitoring and is available in three versions: Weblog light, Weblog Basic und Weblog Pro, depending on how many inverters and

regular observation of the current yield has already become a popular little hobby with many plant operators. Anyone who wants it can even have the daily yield value sent to them on their mobile phone from the so-called “reporting”. The reliable operation of monitoring is ensured by either us or the technician. The plant operator does not need to concern himself with anything, except his revenue.

When is Monitoring worthwhile?

Depending on the size of the plant, monitoring is always worthwhile if the yield loss to be expected would be more expensive for the plant operator than the monitor-ing system itself. Example: With a realistic yield of about 5.2 kWh/kWp per day in the month of May (data from 2008), you go on holiday for 2 weeks and leave your 30 kW plant to itself. If the plant fails in this period for only 12 days, this results in a yield loss of [(5.2 kWh/kWp) x 12 days x 30 kW x (0.43 cents/kWh remuneration)] = 805.– €. Now please look at our price list and judge for yourself whether or not monitor-ing would already have paid for itself.Especially for plants that are not in your immediate vicin-ity and are therefore not under your constant supervision, plant monitoring can even be worthwhile for smaller PV plants.

Monitoring for Larger Plants

Plant monitoring can also be useful in larger projects for reporting to investors or as an analytical tool for the eval-uation of building work (when was inverter x installed?) In addition, various participants in a project can be assigned different access rights.

environment sensors you would like to connect to the device. The data loggers also differ depending on the com-munication technology used (modem).

Monitoring ServiceThis service includes the visualisation of the plant on the Internet, meaning a so-called Internet portal. It is avail-able for different sizes of plant and is normally offered for 5 years at first with extension or expansion available if requested.

DriversFor each inverter, a special software driver is available that “translates” the specific data of each inverter manu-facturer into a shared language.

Connecting CableThis so-called connect cable produces the connection between the first inverter of a plant and the data logger.

The Complete Range of HaWiSimply use the monitoring sets that we have put to-gether, and which contain everything that is necessary. Order the monitoring system together with your PV plant so that you can receive everything from one source. The monitoring sets from HaWi are categorised according to the data logger and type of communication and are listed on the next page. We will automatically look for the smallest suitable monitoring service for you.

Package Solutions From HaWi

On the following pages you will find an overview of

designs of our common modules in combination with

Kaco, SMA and Danfoss inverters. The designs are

sorted according to the module type used.

In order to provide a clear overview, we have put these

combinations together as example packages in output

classes of 5, 10, 20 and 30 kWp of plant output. We

are aware that in many cases the desired size of plant will

differ from these sets inclination. In these cases you will

receive the appropriate layout and the accompanying

price information in the usual way from the experts in our

distribution department. The geographically varying snow

and wind loads will be taken into account here for the

structural calculations of our in-house-developed installa-

tion frame, as will the alignment and slope of the roof

area, in order to ensure the highest possible yield from

your photovoltaic plant.

In addition, we offer you specially developed generator

connection boxes, which provide a substantial advan-

tage for safe operation, rapid uncomplicated mainte-

nance and the simplicity of the system layout. Please

note that the layouts of the packages are calculated with

the following standard values:

• alignment to the south

• inclination of 30°

• average solar radiation of 1000 kWh per m² and year

One should also be aware that the maximum unbalanced

load of 4.6 kWp between the individual phases that is

applicable in Germany must not be exceeded. In normal

sales our packages and layouts are, of course, put to-

gether individually and specifically for the particular order.

General:

Area of Applicability:

Cell Temperature: – 10 °C + 70 °C at 1000 kWh/m²

Alignment: 0° south / slope 30°

Take inclined load into account!

Off-Grid Systems

Hybrid Systems

Hybrid systems are off-grid systems with more than one power-source, such as e.g. PV, wind power, diesel generators, fuel cells etc. This can increase the security of energy supply, as e.g. solar irradiation and wind energy often complement each other at different times of year. A diesel generator can also be used as a backup in order to reduce the battery capacity or to guarantee 100 % certainty of supply. This can be switched on as required via a switch contact or an alarm signal can be given.

A distinction can also be made here between DC-coupled hybrid systems (Fig. III/1) and AC-coupled hybrid systems (Fig. III/2).

The most important components of these off-grid plants are described on the following pages: More detailed information can be found in the special off-grid product catalogue and in the price list. We offer pure-designed package solutions, but we also support you in designing and planning your individual plant. Questionnaires for this purpose can be downloaded from our homepage at www.HaWi-Energy.com.

Off-Grid Systems for independent Power Supply and Rural Electrification

Various technologies in an extremely wide variety of places in the world now require trouble-free or independent power supply. The aim here is to fulti the demanding requirements such as reliability, flexibility little main-tenance and compatibility with the environment. PV, wind and hybrid systems in different variations can often fulfil these requirements better than conventional technologies and thus represent an attractive solution.

There are still regions in the world where people live without electricity or cover their electrical requirements with a diesel-generator.An independent power supplies with PV and wind-power plants can improve the survival chances and the quality of life of these people in a cost-saving and reduce the dependency on rising fuel prices and sustain-able manner.

Even in Europe, there are regions in which it is difficult or uneconomi-cal to have a grid connection and in which off-grid systems with PV and wind-power represent an attractive alternative. Grid failures are also a problem all over the world.Therefor private households and companies are trying to make them-selves independent of the fluctuations in the electrical grid, using backup solutions that are often supplemented by their own power source.

Independent power supply systems can be divided up in 3 groups: DC and AC-PV systems and hybrid systems, which will be briefly described in the following:

DC Off-Grid Systems

If only direct current consumers are used in an off-grid system, then con-version into alternating current is unnecessary. A battery block is loaded, using a charge regulator, directly from e.g. PV modules, and the battery supplies the DC consumer via the charge output of the charge regulator. These plants, also called Solar Home Systems (SHS), are the simplest and cheapest systems of a off-grid power supply of 12 V, 24 V or 48 V DC consumers. (Fig. I)

AC Off-Grid Systems

In order to also supply alternating current consumers with a PV off-grid plant, special off-grid inverters need to be used. These can be directly connected to the battery and turn battery voltage into alternating current. Furthermore, DC consumers can still be supplied via the charge regulator. (Fig. II/1)Alternatively an AC-bus-coupled system can be set up that changes the direct voltage of the modules directly into alternating current. This alter-nating current can be used directly,while the only excess power is fed into the battery via a special off-grid inverter with a battery-charging function. (Fig. II/2)

Off-Grid Inverters

If an off-grid plant is meant to supply normal alternating current consum-ers, an off-grid inverter is necessary for this. These cannot be connected directly to the modules or a solar charger but instead change the DC-power of a battery into alternating current. System or battery voltages of 12 V, 24 V or 48 V can be achieved in this way, whereas a high voltage reduces conduction losses. The off-grid inverter is connected directly to the battery and should be set up for the maximum power required by the consumers.

The off-grid inverters that we offer are distinguished by their variety of power classes and application options thanks to add-on functions. For every system there is thus an optimal off-grid inverter that can guarantee power supply.

Possible Functions:Overload-ability, charge recognition, battery low discharge protection, protection against overheating and overloading, short-circuit protection, reverse voltage protection, acoustic warning, remote control, three-phase operation, parallel operation, etc. (not all functions are available with each off-grid inverter)

We would be glad to help you select a suitable off-grid inverter.

The product range of off-grid inverters comprises:• power classes from 175 W to 10 kW single-phase power output (partly parallel operation)• power classes from 3.6 kW to 15 kW three-phase power output (3 devices)• in 12 V, 24 V and 48 V system voltage• from the manufacturers Victron and Studer.

Modules

Conventional modules, such as presented in the beginning of this product catalogue, can often be used for off-grid systems, but it may be necessary to check for the correct system voltage.. For small off-grid systems, we also offer modules in the output range from 5 – 50 Wp and special modules for boats and camping vehicles.

Solar Chargers

A solar charger connects the solar modules with the battery and takes over the charging and monitoring of the battery. It should be installed as possible to the battery and indicates the charge status the battery either via LEDs or a display. The solar solar charger guards the battery the battery with overload and low discharge protection and thus ensures the optimal care of the batteries and a long life time.

In general, the battery is always connected to the solar charge before the modules connecting. Finally, DC consumers can be connected to the solar charger where as the system or battery voltage can be 12 V, 24 V or 48 V.When choosing the solar charger one must sure that the voltage and cur-rent are right for both the modules and the consumers. Furthermore, solar chargers should be equipped with a suitable control element that features battery monitoring and optimal charging strategies.

MPP Solar ChargersNormal solar chargers only work with 12 V, 24 V or 48 V modules and are thus unsuitable for e.g. the majority of thin-film modules. If modules with differing voltages are to be used for an off-grid system, special solar charg-ers – so-called MPP solar chargers – must be used. These have an MPP tracker and can thus charge the battery optimally with the correct voltage.As the normal solar charger, they have extensive protective measures and a system for professional battery care.

Night Light ChargerDue to a special control unit, these solar charge regulators can auto-matically regulate the operation of night lighting. The night-light charger recognises dusk and dawn independently and can be programmed via a time switch so that the light shines for a pre-set number of hours before dawn and after dusk. This charge regulator is ideal for e.g. street lights, bus-stops, sign illumination or similar applications.

MonitoringTo monitor and analyse off-grid systems it can be necessary to record the most important system parametres. Data loggers and current sensors for particular solar chargers are available for this purpose to enable system monitoring.

The product range of solar charge regulators:• power classes from 60 W to 6.5 kW PV input power• in 12 V, 24 V and 48 V system voltage• from the manufacturers Steca, Phocos, MSTE and SMA.

Backup Inverters

With a PV backup system, PV plant operators can now also use their own solar plant to supply electricity to important consumers even in the event of a grid failure. Power outages are a problem all over the world, and ac-cording to expert opinions long-lasting power failures are even going to be increasing in Europe. Power failures can have economically disastrous effects, especially for companies, unless they have supplemented the PV plant with the PV backup system.

These systems can be used in e.g. small to medium-sized companies, hotels, refrigerated warehouses, supermarkets, agricultural businesses, private households in areas with a weak grid supply or other establish-ments with TN grid. In the event of a power failure, the system switches automatically onto the off-grid supply within 20 or 50 milliseconds and almost no interruption of power supply is caused. The PV plant is also separated automatically from the grid and then switched onto the backup system. Backup inverters can be installed into new PV plants as well as well as into existing PV plants.

The product range of backup inverters comprises:• power classes from 2.2 kW to 5 kW single-phase output power• power classes from 15 kW to 60 kW three-phase power output (3 - 12 devices)• in 12 V, 24 V and 48 V• from SMA.

Backup systems can also be set up with bidirectional off-grid inverters from Studer or Victron. We would be glad to help you in the selection and sizing of your backup system.

Off-Grid Inverters with Battery Charger

An additional source of electricity (e.g. a diesel-generator or the local electrical grid) can be switched on an island grid via a special bidirectional off-grid inverter, in order to increase the security of supply. These special off-grid inverters with battery charger can charge the batteries using the additional source of electricity or supply the connected alternating current consumers either from the battery bank or the additional source.

These devices differ from the off-grid inverters due to the battery charging option and extended functions, although the systems that we offer have special characteristics, depending on the type and manufacturer. Some advantages are e.g. higher of supply, cost reduction, the possibility of supplying larger loads and back-up systems.

Possible Functions:Overload-ability, charge recognition, battery low discharge protection, protection against overheating and overloading, short-circuit protection, reverse voltage protection, acoustic warning, remote control, multifunc-tion contact three-phase operation, parallel operation, etc. Not all func-tions are available with each off-grid inverter.

We would be glad to help you select a suitable off-grid inverter with bat-tery charger.

The product range of off-grid inverters with battery charger comprises:• power classes from 700 W to 20 kW single-phase power output (partly parallel operation)• power classes from 6 kW to 60 kW three-phase power output (3 - 12 devices)• in 12 V, 24 V and 48 V• from the manufacturers Victron, Studer and SMA.

Batteries

The battery represents one of the most important components of an inde-pendent energy supply and should be chosen carefully. The quality and characteristics of the battery bank determine the operability and efficienc of the system and the satisfaction of the consumer. It is very important to dimension a suitable battery bank and choose the right battery from the extensive range of manufacturers and products. The batteries that we offer are characterised by high-quality processing, long lifetime, wide and deep product spectrum, add-ons and versatile application posibilities. The quality of the low-maintenance or maintenance-free batteries has been confirmed in numerous international and national awards and our delivery times are also relatively short compared with those of other battery manu-facturers.

When choosing a battery from our range particular attention should be paid to the capacity information, as many batteries are named according to their capacity of 100 hours discharging time (C100). The batteries listed here are named after their capacity of 10 hours discharging time (C10), with the C100 value also being stated to allow comparison.

The cost of maintenance is also a decisive selection criteria, and this is especially low with sealed batteries. Thanks to the patented recombina-tion system “AquaGen® premium.top” for closed lead acid batteries the maintenance can be very sharply reduced which wears fewer mainte-nance intervals and lower maintenance costs, less risk of explosion and increased battery lifetime.

The product range of batteries comprises:• lead batteries with electrolyte in fibre-glass, with liquid electrolyte or gel-electrolyte (for special applications e.g. also nickel cadmium batteries)• with capacities from 10 Ah to 3000 Ah for one battery• in 2 V, 6 V or 12 V• from HOPPECKE.

We also offer the following accessories:• suitable battery racks and acid tubes• special battery connection boxes and battery pole fuses• battery monitoring• 230 V battery chargers

Direct Current Consumers

Normal alternating current consumers can be connected with AC sys-tems, whereas special direct current appliances must be used for DC systems.

The product range of direct current consumers comprises:• energy-saving bulbs in 12 V or 24 V from 7 W to 20 W with standard E27 socket • special LED bulbs and lamp sets• solar road and path lighting and solar garden lighting• fans and ventilators, 12 V or 24 V• refrigerators with a capacity of 30 litres to 166 litres in 12 V or 24 V (specially for PV plants with a highly efficient energy class)• electric fence devices, garage door motors, etc.

We also offer the following accessories:• time switches, motion sensors, twilight switches, DC power relays, etc.

Small Wind Power Plants

Small wind-power plants are used in various applications, such as e.g. for feeding electricity into the grid of a building, charging batteries in off-grid systems or supporting the heating systems.Here it is usually only possible to make estimations depending on site conditions, consumer load profiles and the size of the plant.

• In the case of feeding energy into the grid of a building, the aim is to cover as much of one’s own energy as possible, depending consumption on the feed-in conditions and only the excess energy produced is fed back into the public grid.• Due to the increased overall plant costs, setting up an off-grid system with battery charging only makes sense in the case of sites where it is not possible to be connected to the public grid or where connection would only be possible at substantial expense. These systems are often combined with photovoltaic systems to form a so-called hybrid plant, in order to improve security of supply.• In systems for supporting the heating system, the wind energy produced is converted directly into heat energy via an electrical heating rod. As a rule, these plants are only used to support the heating system in combination with another heat producers of heat, as the supply of wind energy cannot be adjusted to the demand for heat.

In general, a distinction is made between horizontal and vertical rotors, although the horizontal rotor wind-power plant is much more common and is cheaper. The very robust vertical rotor wind power plants are only used for special sites.

Before one sets up a wind power plant it is a good idea to measure the wind conditions for one’s site (wind speed during the course of the year at the desired height). Based upon the measured data and the characteristic curve of the wind power plant, conclusions can then be made about the annual energy yield to be expected from the plant. Assumptions about the wind speeds without a measuring device are, however, unsuitable even for very approximate yield estimates. A good site for a wind power plant is fea-tured by the yearly wind conditions but also by the possibility for the wind to flow freely to and away from the plant. Any obstacles should therefore be sufficiently far away and the wind power plant should be installed at a point that is high enough.

We offer simple wind measuring equipment, which can also be rented, and would be glad to assist you in your choice of a suitable small wind power plant.

The product range of small wind power plants comprises:• horizontal rotor and vertical rotor wind power plants• with an output of 120 W to 6 kW• for battery charging, grid feeding and supporting heating system• from the manufacturers AeroCraft, Patzsch and Ropatec

We also offer the following accessories:• suitable plant control equipment, wind inverters and charge regulators• masts, heating rods, etc.

Auxiliary Generators:

As already described, photovoltaic plants can be combined with other en-ergy sources to form hybrid systems. In this way, the respective strength of each source can complement each other within one system, allowing hybrid systems to achieve greater cost-effectiveness and reliability in providing energy.

The decisive advantages of a hybrid system are:• substantially higher reliability of power supply, by using two or more energy sources (PV, wind power, diesel generators, etc.)• more efficient system due to greater flexibility in design and operation• lower overall maintenance and operating costs for the diesel generators due to shorter running times• longer lifetime of the components (diesel generator, battery) due to less abrasion and/or better utilisation of cycles.

The purchasing costs of hybrid systems are, however, higher than those for pure diesel generator systems. Even though hybrid systems are eco-nomical due to lower operating and maintenance costs, the high invest-ment costs are still an obstacle in the use of hybrid systems.

Diesel-Generators

HaWi offers diesel generators with an electrical start function, which can also be embedded into hybrid systems.

The product range of diesel generators comprises:• output classes from 2.5 kVA to 30 kVA (single and/or three-phase)• from Krauter

We also offer the following accessories:• suitable switching gear and additional tanks

Fuel Cells

Instead of a diesel generator, fuel cells can also be fully embedded into a hybrid system as a reserve generator. These are started automatically when more power is required and are connected directly to the battery.The direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) offered power designed for small systems and are simple to handle, due to their supply with methanol liquid tanks.

The product range of fuel cells comprises:• DMFC in the output classes 25 W, 50 W and 65 W• with a loading capacity of 600 Wh/d, 1200 Wh/d and 1600 Wh/d• with a system voltage of 12 V or 24 V• methanol consumption of 1.1 l/kWh• from Efoy

We also offer the following accessories:• tank cartridges

Off-Grid-Tracker

Especially designed for off-grid PV plants, this tracking system offers a cheap and simple solution for increasing the yield of a small PV plant. With this system, additional yields of 20 to 40 % can be obtained, depending on the installation site. The sensor-free control system, which has now been used all over the world for 10 years, combined with a reliable linear motor and robust mechanism, ensures problem-free, maintenance-free operation and a long lifeline, even under harsh climate conditions. The low electrical consumption of only ~1.25 kWh/year makes it possible to supply current directly via a PV module without intermediate batteries.

These single-axle off-grid trackers are suitable for small PV off-grid plants as well as for solar pumping systems and can reduce system costs thanks to the excellent price-performance ratio. In order to minimise costs even further, a “do-it-yourself” version (DIY) is offered, in which steel parts that are widely commercially available are not included but can instead be bought on-site.

These tracking systems can also be used for small, grid-connected plants for which central control equipment is not yet worthwhile. In this case the tracker controller must be supplied by an extra 10 W module.

The product range of off-grid tracking systems comprises:• Single-axle tracker systems with their own tracker controller• for 4 m² to 20 m² module area or ~500 Wp to ~3.3 kWp PV output• from Lorentz

Off-Grid Plant ETATRACK active 1500 from Lorentz with concrete foundation

Solar Pumps

Because water is needed all over the world in many varieties and is an im-portant good for survival, water supply is a particularly important subject. Especially for isolated regions or nature parks, but also as an alternative to diesel pumps, solar pumping systems are particularly cheap and sus-tainable in operation. They can guarantee the water supply for hospitals, schools and whole villages, but can also be used for cattle watering tanks or field-irrigation on farms and the circulation of water in ponds and water basins.

For this, the special solar pumps are either connected directly to the PV modules or to a battery. Solardirekt pumps are very economical and only pump during daylight, with an output depending on the irradiation from the sun. Because the water pumped is stored in a storage tank, this is still available after sunset.

Battery-operated pumps can work around the clock and are thus suitable for household systems. Here, the battery bank can be charged either by PV, wind or diesel generators.

The product range of solar pumps comprises:• well, submerged and surface pumps• with pumping capacities of up to 22 m³/h• and a pumping height of up to 240 m• from the manufacturers Lorentz, Shurflo, Liujia und Grundfos.

We also offer the following accessories:• Float switches, protection against dry running, underwater cables suitable for drinking water

We offer pre-designed package solutions, but we are also glad to assist you in the layout and planning of your individual plant. You can also find ques-tionnaires for this purpose on our home-page www.HaWi-Energy.com

Sufficiently clean water is especially important for adequate health care and hygiene. In cooperation with experienced partners, we provide solar drinking-water preparation plants for areas in which there is a lack of clean, germ-free water.

Cables and Connectors – the Achilles Tendon of the PV Plant

Even though they only represent a small part of the overall costs of a PV plant, the cables of a PV plant can quite be called its Achilles tendon. Only cables and connectors that can meet all electrical requirements and at the same time offer lasting, sturdy resistance against weathering, bit-ing by wild animals and other potentially negative factors can ensure that your plant functions without problems over the long term.

In order to continually ensure the safety of the electrical connections in photovoltaic plants, the DKE formed a working group, which has worked out a requirement profile for solar cables. This profile has been set out as a standard and ensures that every testing institution, whether it e.g. the TÜV or the VDE, uses the same criteria. Cables that have been tested in this way are labelled with the PV1-F mark. This guarantees a lifespan of 20000 h, lasting UV-resistance and resistance to acids and lye, and many other characteristics that can be found in the standard.

Cogeneration

Areas of Application

Combined heat and power plants are useful anywhere, where heat and electricity are both consumed at the same time all year round. Places where they can be used to optimum effect are larger family homes, apartment buildings, blocks of flats or terraced housing estates with dis-trict heating. Schools, hospitals, hotels, residential homes, nursing homes, swimming pools, administration buildings, business and retail es-tablishments, workshops and farms are also eminently suitable. CHP plants represent a highly efficient alternative for buildings not connected to a power network, or which only have a limited power supply.

Advantages of a Cogeneration

Possibilities of Financial Support

A range of subsidising measures are available for the installation and op-eration of block heating stations. We will be happy to advise you about the large number of government-funded assistance programmes.

Remuneration for Supplying the GridThe Act on Combined Heat and Power Generation (KWK) and Renewable Energies Act (EEG) govern the acceptance and purchasing of electricity from combined heat and power generation. This provides operators with long-term planning security for the operation of a block heating station.

Tax ExemptionThe state benefits also include tax relief, such as e.g. the refunding of en-ergy tax for the fuels used in combined heat and power generation.

Low-Interest Loan from the Reconstruction Loan CorporationWithin the framework of different support programmes, the development bank of the Reconstruction Loan Corporation (KfW Förderbank) offers loans with especially favourable conditions (www.kfw-foerderbank.de).

Regional Support MeasuresFederal authorities and grid operators usually offer additional support.

Current support measures can be found at: www.energiefoerderung.info

Efficient Energy Production

Electricity is generated in conventional power stations. Efficiencies for such stations are currently around 35 % for the energy they use. However, when heat and electricity are produced and used simultane-ously, this is called cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP). If cogeneration takes place in a compact, local plant, this is known as a so-called combined heat and power plant (CHP plant).

From both an ecological and energy-efficiency perspective, the basic idea is that electricity and heat can be both generated and used locally. In this way, the efficiency factor of the overall process is decisively increased to over 90 %. At the same time, CO2 emissions produced during energy conversion are significantly reduced and energy is produced efficiently.

CHP plants are based on combustion engines which can be run on conventional energy sources such as natural gas, heating oil or diesel as well as regenerative fuels such as vegetable oils or biodiesel. Our products cover a range of between 1 and 350 kW of electrical power output. Both on-grid and off-grid operational modes are available. CHP plants are also suitable for hybrid power supply in stand-alone systems or for emergency power supply.

Renewable Energy from Nature

Biomass refers to all organic material produced by plants or animals. The energy ontains can be used to produce heat, fuel or electric-ity. Biomass is a regenerative, renewable energy source and a sustaina-ble, CO2-neutral fuel when burnt, releases the same amount of CO2 as absorbed by the plants during they have grown up. In this way, the CO2 cycle is closed as no additional pollutant gases are released into the at-mosphere, unlike when energy is produced from fossil fuels. Biomass is a domestic resource available locally, which enables users to become less dependent on energy imports and creates added value for local areas.

HaWi supplies biomass heating systems which use wood as fuel. This can come in the form of wood pellets, energy wood, wood chips, split logs, firewood, short rotation wood or waste from carpenter’s workshops. Thermal output from our systems ranges between 50 kW and 5 MW.

This biomass heating plant for shavings and wood chips has an output of 270 kW and is installed in the HaWi Technology and Logistics Centre.

When burnt, biomass from wood only emits as much carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as was previously absorbed due to the growth of the tree.

Biomass Heating



We provide our customers with individual advice tailored to their needs. This leads to a supply solution, for which we provide the optimal system. Our know-how and the experience of our manufacturers allow us to cre-ate a fully sophisticated, customer-oriented supply concept. For this, we plan and supply a coordinated system that provides reliable and future-proof technology.

Many Reasons for Solar Heat

Solar thermal systems convert the thermal energy of the solar radiation into usable form. The collector installed on the roof or in the façade con-verts the radiant heat of the sun into useful heat energy. The solar radia-tion heats the carrier liquid (a glycol-water mixture) in the collector. A circulating pump passes the heated liquid to the solar energy storage unit. The carrier liquid there releases its heat via a heat exchanger to the water in the storage unit. The cooled liquid is returned to the collector for re-heating. The system is controlled via a solar regulator by means of thermal sensors. During the hot season, when high temperatures (above 85°) can be obtained, the plant can be used efficiently for solar cooling of office and residential buildings. The central component for cooling is the absorption cooling machine.

Solar Cooling

Solar cooling is an environmentally friendly and low-cost process for cooling rooms. This process utilises the heat and energy from the sun that is available in summer. Surplus heat from thermal solar plants or waste heat from block heating stations can be used effectively to cool or air-condition your building.

Absorption Cooling – The Know-How

The cold absorber uses hot water at a low temperature level of approx. 85 °C. Refrigeration plants can thus be supplied in the performance range of 15 kW – 200 kW of refrigeration capacity for providing cold water of > 8° C. Using lithium bromide and water, heat is converted into cold in two main assemblies, the evaporator-absorber unit and the gener-ator-condenser unit, in a cyclical process. This can be used to provide op-timal air-conditioning for rooms.
