The infamous quote, “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power!” has been attributed to Thomas Edison, the renowned inventor and entrepreneur. Amazingly, Edison (1847-1931) made the prescient, futuristic remark decades before mankind discovered the infinite benefits of solar energy. If Edison were alive today, he’d be thrilled to bits at learning that mankind has not only harnessed solar energy but found ways to design climate-friendly solar power plants that don’t disrupt the natural habitat.

To design climate-friendly energy is obviously a desired outcome for most energy storage solution providers. However, BELECTRIC has a proven track record of integrating ground-based solar power plants into existing habitats. Despite creating a biosphere in the midst of cultivated landscape, BELECTRIC ensures 99 percent of the natural areas exist even after the construction of solar power plants. When selecting areas to deploy new plants, Team BELECTRIC carries out a thorough site analysis to ensure seamless integration of power plants and nature. Since the power plants are lined by dense hedges, they disappear and become nearly unrecognisable to the naked eye. When a BELECTRIC solar power plant is placed on a landscape of intensive agriculture, an assortment of meadow vegetation and natural grasses continue to grow around the plants and under the solar modules.

"We are particularly proud to have completed these large-scale projects not only on time and quality but also in accordance with our high European health and safety standards"

BELECTRIC’s solar power plant deployment methodology is so eco friendly that it creates an undisturbed biosphere for fauna and vegetation. As a result, rare wild herbs, insects, and birds can happily complete their development cycle while residing alongside BELECTRIC’s gold standard solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. Plants can bloom and seed, animals can breed their young ones.

That’s not all. BELECTRIC’s low raw material consuming-solar power plants produce 100 percent carbon-free power, preserve the native soil, increase agriculture yield, and reduce ecological footprint (if any) nearly completely. This is just another example of BELECTRIC diversifying the process of solar power construction. Uniquely positioned as one of the world’s largest O&M providers, BELECTRIC offers a range of fully-integrated services to support the continuous energy needs for myriad industries. Through its state-of-the-art solar power plant technology and energy storage technology, BELECTRIC supports the grid infrastructure and thereby contributes to significant cost reductions in the energy sector. Courtesy several patents and innovations, BELECTRIC has undeniably proven its technological leadership in the industry.

Eco-friendly, Innovative and Reliable

BELECTRIC’s patents and innovations are represented in the form of a number of cutting edge solutions. The Germany-headquartered company offers solutions and services in three different segments—PV power plants, battery & hybrid, and O&M services. Under PV power plants, BELECTRIC offers utility scale PV systems such as PEG, EPC system integrator, grid connection, grid stabilisation, battery storage upgrades, and natural energy systems. BELECTRIC’s environment-friendly PV power plants are also deployed in the form of roof systems, for both the commercial and residential sectors. In recent years, BELECTRIC’s commercial roof systems have become the company’s biggest calling card and lucrative business model. Whether it’s for a Fortune 500 company in North America or a Government-based project for a country in Asia, BELECTRIC has proven its competence in constructing PV systems on rooftops across the world.

Earlier this year, BELECTRIC commissioned two of Asia’s largest PV rooftop projects for Cleantech Solar, a leader in providing solar energy solutions for corporate customers in Asia.

With a combined capacity of 26 Megawatt peak (MWp), the two solar plants were constructed within six months while maintaining the highest Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) standards. On behalf of one of its clients, Cleantech Solar, BELECTRIC took charge of the complete construction and commissioning of the two projects. “We are particularly proud to have completed these large-scale projects not only on time and quality but also in accordance with our high European health and safety standards. This underpins our strong position in the Indian EPC market, which is not only one of the largest and fastest growing solar markets but also one of the most challenging,” said Ingo Alphéus, CEO of BELECTRIC.

Cleantech Solar—one of the leading providers of solar energy in South-East Asia—was understandably thrilled to partner with BELECTRIC, a world leader in the development and construction of utility scale solar power plants and energy storage systems. “We are delighted that these industry leaders have once again chosen Cleantech Solar as their trusted long-term partner. We are pleased to collaborate with BELECTRIC, which has a proven track record in rooftop solar deployment and shares our values of delivering high performing systems with high HSE & Quality standards. We look forward to working with BELECTRIC again for future projects,” said Raju Shukla, chairman and founder of Cleantech Solar.

Hybrid Solutions for Modern Power Grids

As for battery and hybrid systems, BELECTRIC offers battery storage systems that can be customised accordingly for a wide variety of applications and business models. BELECTRIC’s hybrid energy solutions include the 3.0 MegaWattBlock hybrid system—an innovative battery system that adjusts load variations and enables ancillary grid services. BELECTRIC’s patented hybrid power technology makes it possible to combine the benefits of fuel-based energy sources with climate-friendly solar power. Using just one AC power block that combines photovoltaics, energy storage, and fuel-based power generation, the 3.0 MegaWattBlock hybrid system guarantees enterprises 24/7 energy production with maximised use of fuel-less solar power. The hybrid technology is suitable for integration in both on- and off-grid environments.

Under the hybrid systems category, BELECTRIC also excels in providing hybrid energy solutions for power grids. The most noteworthy adopters of the solutions are conventional power stations. This complete solution is brought to life courtesy the new BELECTRIC Hybrid Technology; the reliability of fuel-based power plants is combined with the cost-cutting potential of BELECTRIC’s solar power plants. By availing BELECTRIC’s hybrid energy solutions for power grids, clients become less dependent on continuously increasing fuel costs and maximise the benefits of climate-friendly power generation.

It’s important to highlight BELECTRIC’s ability to build 100 percent customised hybrid systems, integrated solutions that are designed specifically to match a client’s energy requirements.
