TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
With the aim of providing clean, reliable and cost-competitive solar power, Solairedirect has developed in-depth technical expertise in photovoltaic technology. Solairedirect is constantly innovating and pushing the limits of leading-edge solar technology even further.
High efficiency panels
SD Power panels have very high-yield cells and anti-reflective glass to increase efficiency by 3% compared with standard panels.
Production optimisation
Optimising our clients’ solar production over the long term is one of Solairedirect’s founding principles. That is why Solairedirect has decided to equip all its installations with a monitoring system. Solairedirect is currently the only Photovoltaic’s operator that monitors all its installations daily, providing all its clients with perfect visibility of their installations’ performance.
Through this monitoring, Solairedirect continuously builds up its expertise in photovoltaics (sunshine analysis, operational assessments, etc.,) to provide its clients with high-quality preventive and corrective maintenance based on this feedback.
Product and system innovation
SD Power solution was specially designed to optimise the installation production thanks to:
- Enhanced ventilation and complete use of the production surface area (140 W/sq. m.),
- Increased waterproofing efficiency,
- Enhanced design: fewer visible frames, black frames, choice of several colours for the Wakaflex® roof system,
- An increased useful life for the installation (condensation control under panels, resistance to corrosion, resistance to wind and snow).
In addition to SD Power, Solairedirect has developed SD Ecomax, an efficient, multi-purpose integration system for its professional clients. This proven solution guarantees built-in waterproofing with its steel tray. It also offers high resistance to corrosion and is particularly well-suited for applications on buildings used for animal breeding.
Top class engineering
The corporate engineering team has developed expertise and capitalisation of key industry skills bases. Solairedirect is also developing expertise on sensitive subjects such yield prediction, simulations, and product innovation with three goals:
- end-to-end cost reduction,
- performance optimisation,
- improved security
Local production
A knowledge management system is used to share and capitalize this technical knowledge with every Solairedirect team wherever they are in the world.
Local Project Engineering teams then benefit from this expertise while taking account of local standards and needs when developing local projects.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
Solairedirect has implemented a Supplier Selection Policy, focusing on leading suppliers, aimed at achieving the highest levels of quality and operational excellence.
High quality products
SD Power panels are certified to comply with IEC 61215 Ed 2 and IEC 61730 standards. SD Power panels and frames are manufactured and assembled at the Solairedirect Technologies plant, which is ISO 9001:2008 certified and inspected by TÜV. .
Skilled operation and maintenance
- Centralised supervision
- O&M Division
- Continuous improvement by monitoring generation
Predictability compared to other green energies
Once competitive, solar electricity will enjoy another major economic advantage: its predictability in terms of price with a very low risk profile. No other power source can offer that level of guaranteed costs without the volatility of resources that are difficult to control, over periods exceeding 25 years. This built-in “hedge” value promises to be a major advantage in competing with other forms of energy.
