Descripción del proyecto
Nuevas soluciones de energía solar para el futuro ecológico de Europa
Europa se apresura a cumplir su ambicioso objetivo de reducción de gases de efecto invernadero en un 55 % para 2030. El éxito depende de soluciones innovadoras a fin de acelerar la transición a las energías renovables. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto SPHINX, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende transformar la energía fotovoltaica integrada con nuevas arquitecturas de módulos para facilitar una adopción más amplia. En concreto, introducirá la revolucionaria tecnología de tejas matriciales, que abarca toda la superficie del módulo con segmentos celulares superpuestos, elevando la eficiencia del módulo solar en un 3 %, reduciendo la sensibilidad al sombreado y triplicando el rendimiento energético en condiciones de sombreado parcial. Con cinco productos fotovoltaicos distintos adaptados a diversos tipos de construcción, el equipo del proyecto pretende demostrar viabilidad económica, bajos índices de degradación, costes de instalación competitivos y mínimo impacto ambiental. En última instancia, en SPHINX se abordarán las necesidades energéticas y se remodelará el futuro de la arquitectura sostenible.
Objetivo
Europe's ambitious target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 presents a significant challenge, and addressing it requires innovative solutions. The SPHINX project aims to accelerate the adoption of photovoltaics, the cheapest source of energy, by developing new photovoltaic products for integrated construction that are multi-functional, aesthetically pleasing, and have a minimal impact on resources such as land and materials.
SPHINX aims to demonstrate solutions for an economic and sustainable integration of five innovative PV products in five respective demonstration sites covering different construction typologies: lightweight modules for installation on rooftops with weight constraints, tiles for heritage buildings, tiles for facades, semi-transparent modules for carports, and noise barriers.
Each of these products will be piloted and monitored to demonstrate high energy production, low degradation rates, competitive installation costs, and a low environmental impact.
To increase the efficiency of solar modules, SPHINX is leveraging a disruptive European interconnection technology known as matrix shingling. This technology improves the filling of the active area of solar modules, leading to a 3% increase in power output, and make them less sensitive to shading. This translates to up to 3 times more energy yield compared to standard modules under strong partial shading. Furthermore, this technology drastically reduces the use of resources such as lead and copper. To further enhance module performance, SPHINX will add new functionalities to the encapsulant, including UV selective absorption and reemission for power increase, selective reflection of IR light to increase bifacial boost, and reduce temperature behind the panel. New coatings will also be developed to provide anti-glare and anti-fouling capabilities based on a new deposition process that can be reapplied in the field in case of damage.
