EPC: ground mounted
Utility scale ground mounted installations are at the core of both our EPC and development
business. With significant economies of scale, these large installations are ideal for grid connected
projects or off-grid projects with a high consumption off-takers such as factories, mines, desalination
plants, residential compounds or isolated villages.
Ground mounted installations, unlike rooftop or carport installations, requires plentiful availability of
land. We are also highly experienced in managing the interconnection, including high tension lines,
of the utility scale plants to the electricity grid. As with all our EPC business, we can continue to look
after the plant after completion, providing operating, maintenance and security services for all
types of installation.

EPC: rooftops
We use high efficiency crystalline silicon
panels to transform unused roof space into
an electricity generating asset.

9/16/14
Particularly suitable for the urban
environment where empty land is
prohibitively expensive, rooftop installations
carry additional advantages in hot countries.
By insulating the roof against direct sunlight,
the panels significantly reduce air
conditioning costs. Furthermore, the elevated
location of the panels reduces the risk of theft
or accidental damage.
Our engineering team have over 90MW of
rooftop installation experience in this
increasingly popular solution, making us a
world leader in the field.

The canopy can be integrated into a variety
of different carport designs and structures,
creating a progressive and stylish
architectural statement. By installing solar
panels directly onto the structure instead of
layering them onto the roofing materials, we
can offset some of the construction cost.
EPC: carports
PV Carport canopies
are a stylish and
efficient solution that combine electricity with
providing shelter to parked cars.
Carport canopy systems can stand alone or
be combined with other building systems,
such as curtain wall integrated panels or
rooftop mounted arrays, to directly reduce
electricity bills and minimize reliance on the
grid.

EPC: curtain wall and BIPV
Our uniquely versatile amorphous silicon thin film (a-Si) technology opens up a wide variety of
possibilities in building integrated photovoltaics. By adjusting the transparency, thickness, colour
and size of the glass and substrate, electricity generating modules can replace tinted windows,
transforming the absorbed sunlight into electricity to power the building’s needs.
The modules can be made to almost any requirement, and by working closely with architects and
designers during the planning stage can be made to fit seamlessly with the building’s overall
aesthetic.

Case Study: 4 Times Square, a landmark in
building integrated amorphous silicon
This 48 storey building, developed by the Durst
Organization in New York City in the mid 1990s,
demonstrates the potential of BIPV. Kiss + Cathcart
architects were the consultants for the building’s stateof-the art, thin-film BIPV system, working with Fox and
Fowle architects for the overall design.
Kiss + Cathcart designed the BIPV system to function as
an integral part of the tower's curtain wall. EPV Solar
(now wholly owned by Desert Technologies),
developed the custom PV modules in 1997 to meet the
aesthetic, structural, and electrical criteria. BIPV panels
have been integrated into the curtain wall instead of
conventional glass spandrel panels on the South and
East Facades from the 37th through to the 43rd floor.
The modules are attached to the building structure in
exactly the same way as standard glass.
There is a separate electrical system for each façade,
consisting of two subsystems, feeding two 6kW inverters
and one 4kW inverter. Using multiple inverters enables
the system to perform more efficiently.
