GRID-CONNECTED PV GENERATORS APPLIED TO PETROL-STATIONS

Objective

The project aims to construct and test four grid connected PV systems in four petrol stations of the "Repsol petroleo" network. Each PV generator has about 13.2 kWp; such medium sized grid-connected systems are considered to be attractive for users without direct economical interest, for instance for establishing an ecological "image". This is considered to be an unusual and innovative application for photovoltaics.

The four 13.2 kWp generators are installed on petrol stations on busy routes in Andalucia in order to ensure maximum publicity.
Maracena, Rio Tinto, Estepona and Sevilla.
