What is a honeycomb solar collector & thermal energy storage module?

An innovative new translucent honeycomb solar collector and thermal energy storage module has been designed. The honeycomb module contains two different kinds of channels, namely empty ones and those that are filled with a P hase C hange M aterial (PCM). The latter are sealed at the front and back side and, therefore, form chambers.

What is a solarcontainer?

The Solarcontainer is a photovoltaic power plant that was specially developed as a mobile power generator with collapsible PV modules as a mobile solar system, a grid-independent solution represents. Solar panels lay flat on the ground. This position ensures maximum energy harvest Panels lays flat on the ground.

What is a mobile photovoltaic system?

That is why we have developed a mobile photovoltaic system with the aim of achieving maximum use of solar energy while at the same time being compact in design, easy to transport and quick to set up. This system is realized through the unique combination of innovative and advanced container technology.

How many households can a solar Container Supply?

Based on an average power consumption of a 4-person household of 4000 kWh per year and a location in Southern Germany, the solar container can supply approx. 32 households with climate-friendly electricity. At a location in Southern Europe it can even be up to 50 households due to the high solar radiation.

What makes Hilber Solar GmbH Special?

With Hilber Solar GmbH, the cross-generational and outstanding know-how flows into SolarCont GmbH as a guarantee for a perfectly coordinated and highly efficient photovoltaic system.

How does solar charging work in a PCM storage device?

The theory presented up-to-here describes the solar charging of the PCM storage device and the diffusion and phase transition phenomena in the PCM. However, additionally, the “empty” channels allow a crossing of the storage device by a heat transfer fluid, which usually is air.
