It still baffles us on a daily basis that not enough people in the world are turning to solar rooftops and photovoltaic panels-covered parking structures that will add a lot of green energy and cut down our dependence on grid power. Vanguard from Solaire Generation is something that draws from the concept of solar roofs and parking lots and revamps the design to work perfectly in all conditions.
The inclined V-shaped design of Vanguard allows it to stand with stability even on the odd windy day and does not get affected by heavy snowfall during the winter. The design has been specifically crafted keeping in mind the regions where winter is extra chilly and hence snowfall is expected annually. The shape of vanguard allows it to collect snow and channel it towards the shallow center, which is then disposed off with ease.
With the angular placement of the photovoltaic panels on the top, the sunrays hit some portion of the roof vertically at most times in a day and that helps increase the efficiency of the solar panels and produce more energy. This also allows vanguard to provide optimum shade to vehicles and people underneath at all times.
You can insert every commercially available photovoltaic panel arrays into the basic frame of Vanguard. It allows you to give any charging station the added green energy that users can plug into when their gadgets run out of juice. Just imagine electric car charging stations with roofs like Vanguard and we will be so much closer to emission free roads.
