The Revista Técnica Industrial (Industrial Tech Magazine) wanted to write a profile about the Vulkano Engineering team for the 334th edition of their magazine, one of the most influential magazines at a national level in the engineering sector, where we speak about the effects of wind in photovoltaic plants.
Photovoltaic energy makes it possible to generate electricity at low cost and with little environmental impact, which is why it has begun to be implemented with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43% in recent years*, an unprecedented statistic in other energy industries. (*Renewable capacity statistics, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)). Today, it is already the most powerful energy source installed in the world every year. However, this spectacular and rapid growth, in many ways positive, is also responsible for an undesirable fact: the lack of technological maturity typical of uncontrolled growth in a short period of time.
This lack of mature technology has consequences in the middle and long term for the operation of solar plants, and some of these consequences are effects caused by wind in the structure.
At Vulkano Engineering, we are specialists in photovoltaic solar energy with many years of experience in the sector, working every day in search of solutions that minimize the impact of wind on solar plants, among other things. For this reason, Técnica Industrial has spoken with our team to write an article in which we deal with the subject in depth.
