How does solarfold work?

Solarfold allows you to generate electricity where it’s needed, and where it pays to do so. The innovative and mobile solar container contains 196 PV modules with a maximum nominal power rating of 130kWp, and can be extended with suitable energy storage systems.

What is a solar tree?

Typically constructed from metal, as well as carbon fibres and polymers, solar trees are designed to be both efficient and visually pleasing. They are increasingly featured in urban redevelopment projects because they utilise space more effectively than traditional solar panel installations.

Where can solar trees be used?
