They are in Arizona, their name is Erthos and they have in their portfolio the system that could revolutionize the development of solar parks in the world: they have managed to design modules that are installed directly on the ground, take advantage of the heat absorption properties of the earth and cost up to 20% less than conventional panels.
70% fewer cables and trenches
The aerodynamics of these panels, which can be installed without leaving gaps between them and configuring a large smooth surface that is very easy to clean and maintain, is excellent and allows up to 70% fewer cables and trenches to be used in the installation. The savings are considerable, both in time and money: they are installed in half the time it costs to set up a conventional solar park and require 20% less investment.
Withstands up to intensity 4 hurricanes
Erthos also states that its solar panel system resists up to force 4 hurricanes and can be adapted, with minimal leveling works, to almost any topography. For maintenance, they have designed a small robot that, at night, cleans the entire plant. At the moment, they already have plans for a large 100 MW solar park in Texas
