Thrace Group Successfully Participates at European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference & Exhibition 2024 (EU PVSEC 2024)

Our dedicated Technical Support team, in collaboration with Professor Filippos Farmakis from Democritus University of Thrace, unveiled a groundbreaking innovation aimed at maximizing the energy output of bifacial photovoltaic systems. This innovative approach, detailed in the paper titled “ENHANCING ENERGY GENERATION OF BIFACIAL PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS WITH A PERMEABLE ALBEDO ENHANCEMENT COMPOSITE,” is now available in the Conference Proceedings.

The centerpiece of our presentation was the Helios Reflect System (HRS), a cutting-edge permeable albedo enhancement composite designed to significantly boost energy yield while simultaneously suppressing weed growth. This groundbreaking solution is particularly well-suited for ground-mounted PV installations using bifacial modules.

During the conference, George Tzinoglou delivered an insightful presentation, while George Papagiannis and Alexandros Droudakis engaged with attendees at the exhibition, showcasing the numerous benefits of the HRS system.

Key Highlights of Our Innovation:

• Enhanced Energy Yield: Our composite material delivers a substantial 5% annual energy increase compared to traditional methods.
• Environmental Benefits: The HRS material is permeable, recyclable, and fully aligned with circular economy principles.
• Year-Round Performance: In a case study, the system consistently enhanced energy generation, providing an annual energy gain of over 80 kWh/kWp.
   

We extend our sincere congratulations to George Papagiannis, Alexandros Droudakis, and George Tzinoglou for their outstanding contributions and for representing Thrace Group at this prestigious event.
