SOLARAWARDS2011 WINNERS
global know-how to customers when providing modular or turnkey solutions based on fast track schedules, appropriate quality standards and rigorous adherence to the budget.
Innovation: The advanced portfolio and the in depth technology know-how as offered by M+W Group for design / build services for the entire PV added value chain from Poly Silicon over glass to PV modules and finally PV power plants makes it possible for our customers to benefit from our experience and use all synergies with regard to energy saving potentials and improved logistics for integrated future PV manufacturing sites in the GW scale. This approach will lead to considerable cost reductions not only in initial invest costs but in running costs as well.
Customer Benefits: The main benefit for customers is that they profit from fast time to market and turnkey-capability due to M+W Groups integrated project approach as well as that M+W Group can offer services for the entire PV added value chain, depending on each customer’s requirements.
Problem Solved: With its integrated project approach M+Ws best-in-class solutions can solve these challenges: Comprehensive site selection and site development, including all current and future requirements.
Defining production technology and future expansions. Defining equipment layout and the logistics concept. Value engineering and Benchmarking Final design starts in parallel with issuing the building permit documents
Construction starts depending on partial building permission Global sourcing and volume purchase agreements reduces costs for hardware
In house engineering for water and chemical recycling/reclaim technologies
Advanced energy supply concepts Mass and energy flow modelling to reduce life cycle costing
With its long-term experience M+W Group provides best-in-class solutions with optimum flexibility to future expansions, minimum operating costs and fast time-to-market.
Noteworthy: Based on its 11 years of experience in this market M+W Group operates a comprehensive database with the consumption data of the process equipment with real measured consumption data. This enables the company to benchmark the data provided by equipment suppliers with the real consumption data in the very beginning of the project. With this powerful tool M+W Group can design the utility systems according to the technological requirements of the process tools.
In several PV projects M+W Group has proved that the terms environmentally benign and cost effective are not a contradiction. For example water reclaim or water/chemical recycling provides a significant reduction of running costs for high volume production sites. M+W Group has developed adequate reclaim and recycling systems.
Several of the projects additionally have been designed and executed according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards.
Note from the Judges: For many planning on entering the solar and PV manufacturing arenas the choice of sites, factories, tools and staff can be daunting which is why some will rely on the expertise of turnkey providers.
Companies who, in combination with technical experience and knowledge, provide the company with the finished result of their
plans.The main challenges for high volume PV manufacturing sites are reduced running costs by advanced engineering as well as by energy saving and recycling technologies.
Product Development Award Petra Solar SunWave System
Combining highly
distributed solar generation with smart grid functionality; Petra Solars SunWave system mounts on existing public infrastructure, including 95,000 utility poles (and counting) across New Jersey. Petra Solar leverages existing public infrastructure to provide scalable, utility-grade clean power along with smart grid benefits.
Product Challenge: Until now, solar power has only truly been economic in large solar arrays, but these are subject to land use battles, their power output can be affected by local weather
