Renewable<br />
<strong>Energy</strong> Applications<br />
Renewable <strong>Energy</strong> Applications<br />
Contemporary international tendencies and<br />
developments promote energy saving policies.<br />
Following such developments, SYSTEMS SUNLIGHT S.A.<br />
consequentially adapts its strategy and systematically<br />
invests in renewable energy sources.<br />
Renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly,<br />
maintenance-free and highly efficient, with long-life<br />
operation and incomparably low operating expenses.<br />
Taking into consideration these competitive advantages,<br />
<strong>we</strong> design and construct cost effective and robust energy<br />
solutions to the benefit of our clients.<br />
The dedicated team of experienced engineers at<br />
SYSTEMS SUNLIGHT S.A. offers fully customized<br />
products utilizing renewable energy sources, using<br />
mostly solar photovoltaics. In special cases <strong>we</strong> design<br />
and offer energy systems that include more than one<br />
po<strong>we</strong>r source, in order to minimize system cost and<br />
increase reliability.<br />
In addition, <strong>we</strong> provide the following services:<br />
Turn key solutions<br />
Project development and management<br />
Design and engineering<br />
Installation, comm<strong>is</strong>sioning and training<br />
After Sales support
Autonomous Solar Photovoltaic System<br />
Autonomous solar photovoltaic systems are easy to<br />
install and are the preferred solution for remote sites<br />
where no electricity grid <strong>is</strong> available. These systems are<br />
almost maintenance free and with minimal operation<br />
expenses.<br />
The operation of the autonomous solar photovoltaic<br />
systems, known also as stand alone solar po<strong>we</strong>r systems,<br />
<strong>is</strong> simple. During the day the photovoltaic modules<br />
(panels) will convert solar energy into electrical energy.<br />
The produced energy <strong>is</strong> then used to supply the load as<br />
<strong>we</strong>ll as to charge the batteries. The energy stored in the<br />
batteries will supply the load during night hours or when<br />
the solar radiation <strong>is</strong> low.<br />
Autonomous Po<strong>we</strong>r Supply System (APS)<br />
The combination of a solar photovoltaic array with a diesel<br />
generating set offers supreme po<strong>we</strong>r system flexibility at<br />
greatly reduced cost.<br />
SYSTEMS SUNLIGHT S.A. has developed integrated hybrid<br />
solar solutions early on and <strong>is</strong> currently one of the market<br />
leaders. The SUNLIGHT Autonomous Po<strong>we</strong>r Supply<br />
System (APS) <strong>is</strong> a fully customized hybrid product<br />
cons<strong>is</strong>ting mainly of photovoltaic panels, batteries and a<br />
diesel generator. The batteries are kept separately from the<br />
generator and both are placed inside a thermally insulated<br />
shelter. Optionally, a wind generator can be provided.<br />
The fundamental difference regarding the operation of the<br />
APS and the solar photovoltaic system <strong>is</strong> the presence of a<br />
diesel generator. When there <strong>is</strong> lack of solar and<br />
electrochemical energy the generator turns on automatically<br />
in order to supply the load and charge the batteries.<br />
Electricity Production<br />
Apart from its know how in Autonomous Photovoltaic<br />
<strong>Systems</strong>, SYSTEMS SUNLIGHT S.A. <strong>is</strong> also active in<br />
designing and installing photovoltaic stations connected to<br />
the utility grid. Our long-lasting and valuable experience in<br />
the field of renewable energy applications enables us to<br />
provide our customers with the optimum solution that<br />
maximizes their profit. Our “Turn Key Solutions” are easily<br />
comprehensible even by users or investors that are not<br />
<strong>we</strong>ll acquainted with renewable sources applications and<br />
technology.<br />
In 2000, <strong>we</strong> installed the largest grid connected<br />
photovoltaic system in Greece in order to benefit from<br />
the sales of electricity to the utility grid. Ever since, <strong>we</strong><br />
have completed a series of projects that required the<br />
designing, supplying and installing photovoltaic systems in<br />
the ground, building rooftops and facades.<br />
Furthermore, <strong>we</strong> have provided solutions for demanding<br />
applications in countries with harsh climatic conditions,<br />
such as the Middle East, Europe and Africa.<br />
Our valuable experience in electricity production<br />
secures maximum profits to potential investors and<br />
minimizes their r<strong>is</strong>ks. These systems can be also<br />
financially supported by institutional funds or<br />
governmental subsidies. For example, European<br />
countries such as Germany, Spain, Italy and Greece have<br />
currently favourable economic conditions for the<br />
installation of grid connected photovoltaic systems.<br />
During the past decade, thousands of companies,<br />
investors or homeowners, have installed photovoltaic<br />
systems of various sizes and profit from selling<br />
electricity to the utility grid. Favourable installation<br />
surfaces are flat or hilly lands, factory and house roofs, as<br />
<strong>we</strong>ll as building facades. The system design layout <strong>is</strong><br />
simple, with just a photovoltaic array and an inverter to<br />
supply the produced electricity to the grid.<br />
