What kind of form will photovoltaic+have in the future, and how will it change our lives and industries?
█ Photovoltaic retail cabinet
With the continuous breakthrough of photovoltaic module efficiency, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of XBC modules has reached an astonishing level of 27.81%. Once regarded as a “wild and imaginative” photovoltaic retail cabinet, it is now moving from conception to implementation.
In the future, whether it’s the corners of campuses, scenic trails, or remote towns with weak power grid coverage, buying a bottle of water or carrying a bag of snacks will no longer be constrained by the location of the power source. This retail cabinet comes with a built-in power generation module, eliminating the need for complex grid connection. It is low-cost and flexible to deploy, bringing “instant convenience” to more people.
█Photovoltaic express cabinet
Traditional express delivery cabinets have high construction costs and are limited by the location of the power source. Photovoltaic express cabinets will solve the cost problem of the “last mile” of express delivery.
Flexibly deployed at the entrance of residential buildings and communities, combined with the “container delivery+user pickup” mode of intelligent delivery robots, can not only reduce the operating costs of logistics enterprises, but also enable residents to “pick up items as soon as they go downstairs”, optimizing the end of the line logistics experience.
█Photovoltaic agricultural machinery
Currently, unmanned aerial vehicles for drug spraying and automatic tea picking machines have been gradually promoted, but the problems of short battery life and frequent charging limit their large-scale application.
In the future, photovoltaic driven laser weeding robots and intelligent harvesting robots can achieve “energy replenishment while working”, eliminate dependence on charging piles, promote the upgrading of agricultural production to unmanned, intelligent, and green, and realize the “sunshine driven agricultural revolution”.
█ Photovoltaic soundproof wall
Replacing traditional soundproof wall materials with photovoltaic modules on both sides of highways and expressways (with a service life of over 30 years and cost advantages) can not only block traffic noise, but also continuously generate electricity, providing power for surrounding street lights and traffic monitoring equipment. This has become a typical practice of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) in transportation scenarios, making urban infrastructure “more environmentally friendly and economical”.
█ Photovoltaic communication base station
In the past, communication base stations in remote mountainous areas required separate installation of power grids or relied on diesel generators, resulting in high maintenance costs and environmental pollution.
Nowadays, “photovoltaic+energy storage” base stations have been widely used in Latin America and other regions, providing stable and clean electricity for base stations, reducing operator expenses, enhancing energy green attributes, and ensuring smooth communication in remote areas. The installation of solar panels can also use single axis or dual axis solar trackers for higher power generation efficiency.
█ Photovoltaic unmanned aerial vehicle
Traditional small unmanned aerial vehicles have a range of about 30 kilometers. With the addition of photovoltaic power supply, they can use a segmented flight mode of “photovoltaic energy replenishment+energy storage range” to play a role in border patrol, environmental monitoring, emergency rescue and other scenarios, breaking through the range limit and expanding the application boundaries.
█ Photovoltaic delivery vehicle
With the implementation of autonomous driving technology, unmanned delivery vehicles in parks and communities are gradually becoming popular; If the outer shell of the vehicle is replaced with photovoltaic modules, it can effectively extend the range (reduce daily charging frequency), make unmanned delivery vehicles a “mobile photovoltaic power station”, shuttle between communities and rural areas, and improve the efficiency of material distribution.
█ Photovoltaic RV
It can not only provide power assistance for driving, but also meet the electricity needs of daily life such as air conditioning, refrigerator, and household appliances when parked, especially suitable for camping in remote areas – without relying on campsite charging stations, you can enjoy comfortable travel, balancing low cost and freedom, becoming the “new favorite” of RV travel.
█ Photovoltaic tricycle
Electric tricycles are a common mode of transportation in rural areas, but the problem of short range and slow charging of lead-acid batteries has long plagued users; After installing photovoltaic modules, the battery life can be significantly extended, and the daily energy replenishment can meet the needs of short distance travel, becoming a “green helper” for farmers to rush to markets and transport agricultural products.
Currently, innovation in the photovoltaic industry is still concentrated in the field of large-scale power stations. However, as the industry’s profit margins narrow, more and more companies are turning their attention to the huge potential of “photovoltaic+” segmented scenarios – these scenarios not only meet user needs, but also explore new growth poles through “technology+mode” innovation.
In the future, photovoltaics will no longer be a “specialized equipment in power plants”, but will become a “basic energy element” integrated into production and life like hydropower and gas, promoting the development of human society towards a cleaner, more efficient, and more sustainable direction, and providing core support for achieving the “dual carbon” goal.
