Little bit more R&D to minimise the initial rail setup would make this awesome

[@timderks5960]

Chances of minimizing that are slim to none. The only things they can really improve is changing from nuts and bolts to some kind of quick connect system. There simply aren't a lot of ways to keep the compact setup while speeding up the rail setup.

Design it so you can deploy without a crane

[@timoclemens5379]

You need to unload it from a truck anyway. The crane is best to to it. You could potentially use an excavator, a loader or a large forklift.

A roll off container

[@Mo.cap09]

In fact, its need too much heavy machine, a container mover, a crane, a wheel-loader and you need 400v external electricity to deploy it, 4 mans, and a mega flat area. Need to be more auto deploy, more easier, more placeable. Maybe with a battery pack in the middle for auto deploy, less solar panels for not use a football stadium, and can be put directly with a truck container crane or back loader. It's very good, but i don't understant ho is the customer for that type of mega structur. it's take a full parking aera for a festival. compare to a 3.5to trailer with a Caterpillar Gens.

Awesome new concept for a semi-mobile solar plant...

[@msx248]

Gute Idee, gut umgesetzt! Genial wäre, wenn die Vorbereitungen bis zum Ausklappen noch automatisierter ablaufen würden. Sprich: Diese ganzen Metellteile am Anfang müssten vormontiert sein. Die Schienen sollten genauso gefaltet sein. Um die Bodenunbenheiten auszugleichen würden Hartholz‐ oder Hartkunststoff-Klötze untergelegt, während die Schienen einfach nur ausgeklappt würden. Es müssten 2 Personen reichen. Es sollte kein großer Kran mehr erforderlich sein, optimal wäre ein Gabelstapler. Der Container sollte auf einem LKW-Unterbau angeliefert werden, mittels 4 ausfahrbaren Füßen wird er angehoben, der LKW-Untersatz fährt weg, der Container wird auf den Boden abgesenkt. So wäre es perfekt!

[@mariop.8207]

Noch besser wäre es, wenn das Container quasi als Drohne mit Propeller fungieren und zum Einsatzort fliegen könnte. Dann könnte man z.B. bei schattenwerfenden Hindernissen den Container mehrmals am Tag je nach Sonnenstand "umfliegen" und so die maximale Ausbeute an Solarenergie haben. Vllt. könnte man die Propeller so konstruieren, dass sie sich im Stillstand drehen und als Windkraftanlage fungieren können. So könnte man Solar- und Windenergie gleichzeitig nutzen.

[@dakota4766]

Yeah I think we need to stop saying solar or wind are for disaster response. During a disaster you need reliable power. You need diesel generators. Leave wind and solar to offset emissions and reduce fuel cost on a grid.

[@KarmeshMadhavi]

In disaster response should be quick. not time consuming.

[@kingggerald]

sorry, but no. This requires a crane, forklift, does not hold a battery and requires a very large (flat!) footprint. This would have been way better. A modern household can run pretty well on 4 solar panels, or one of these large ones. Unloading the container could provide a few easy kits to install in a garden, that can be lifted by hand and installed with an easy battery + connector system (probably just a few power outlets) for the emergency need. This is for something else.. Something very specific, and definetely not for disaster responders. the 30 mins to "unfold" is not the 30 mins installation. That took several hours and a lot of heavy machinery as you can see in the vid.

Great idea up to the point where up have to plug it in to deploy panels

[@timderks5960]

It does indeed look like the panels aren't plugged in, but there's no reason why they couldn't be wired permanently, so I'm guessing this is an uncompleted version or something like that.

[@NTM2009]

@timderks5960 how would you wire it in if solar is the source of power. Without other power source to deploy the panels its useless

[@timderks5960]

​@@NTM2009 Ah, you meant plug it in to the grid, I thought you meant plugging the individual panels together / connecting them to the inverter. Your "issue" really is a non-issue though. Either temporarily run a generator, if you're in a really remote location, or just run an extension cord. These things aren't meant to be some miracle device that's an all in one setup, they're gonna be a part in setups that have a generator and battery. Newer generators come with battery banks these days, so the generator can run at optimal power when under low load and charge the batteries at the same time, saving fuel and reducing noise. Add this solar array to one of those generators, and the generator has to run even less, again reducing fuel consumption and noise. People should really stop seeing issues and look for solutions instead. Pretty much everything can be solved. Instead of just saying "this sucks because of X", how about "X seems to be an issue, maybe that could be solved by Y".

[@NTM2009]

@timderks5960 that is an all in one setup, it has the inverters on it already so no need for generator, or even batteries if your not storing power. Have done a couple systems where there is no power supply on site other then the panels and inverters sending power out, no incoming power and not going to run generator up to them every time they need opened and closed. Put a couple batteries in the system.and they couple work all in their own. Also generators are better to run near max output then at low output. Running near max will make them most efficient and last longest

[@merendell]

That motor is probably only a couple of horsepower tops. Looks like its just moving a section of chain belt that grabs a tab on the bottom of each panel segment and pushes it along and is only connected to at most 2 segments directly at a time. At around 3kw of solar per segment there's really no reason the workers couldnt unfold the first segment by hand and use that to power the motor to unfold the rest. even if your only geting 50% of the rated output of the solar thats still enough to run a 2hp motor and your available power will just go up as segments unfold. You could also probalby jump start the system off a couple of car batteries or any portable power station capable of a couple of KW of output for a minute or two After that like I said there's more than enough solar avalible if the sun is out after a few segments are exposed.

[@TomSilver_42]

OK as concept. Some more love/improvements needed IMHO. Hints: make it flatbed trailer no-crane needed + single operator to deploy (many people to manually assemble rails and two "cable remote" operators to deploy is bad), maybe less panels but battery in the base of the structure (don't make it top heavy) + inverters => top disaster power supply recovery solution or "mobile / no-permit" solar farm solution.

[@johnhufnagel]

if it had the ability to unfold/fold into a protective structure, it would be interesting for use in areas that see potentially destructive weather, like the 2024/03/15 hail storm that struck a solar farm in texas.

[@6YJI9]

At first this looked like such an awesome conceptualized product with tons of potential, however as the video progressed it made me reconsider. If it was mostly/completely automated where the panels would've expanded on their own much like how the solar panels on a satellite expands in orbit, it would've been fantastic. But with all of the work, labor, complexity and moving parts involved, it practically makes it very hard to argue deploying this design vs a more permanent/mobile solution.

[@heartobefelt]

5B Solar in Australia has a really simple system , they have refined the dollars to the sharp edge over the last 8 - 10 years , cyclone proof and a bank of panels deploys in 2 minutes

[@alexfiftyfour]

Too much work. Design it in a way so that you don‘t need a crane. Best would be to deplay it right away from a truck or have some wheels on it to do the fine positioning like with trailers.

[@BwanaQixa]

You are missing the point. Try to transport and set up those panels one by one with two people. Let's see if you dont take a whole year. It has already been simplified. Also, do you understand the complexity that comes with mechanization? Would you rather hire a crane operator or hire a technician to operate the damn thing? What happens when the mechanism fails? What about space? Think about it.

[@timderks5960]

I'm just gonna guess you're an American based on this reply. In the EU, simple flatbed trucks have cranes built right on them that humiliate most purpose-built American cranes. The one you can see from 3:02 onwards is just a small one. This solar unit could easily be moved and placed by one vehicle, one vehicle could transport 2 or 3 of these units, and place them all within a couple of hours. For 240 solar panels per unit, that's extremely quick setup.

[@ANoBaka]

That you have a timer for just a small part of the deployment seems to be grossly misrepresenting how long it actually takes for the whole deployment. Sure, it takes 27 minutes to unfold it. But there is no timer or number for how long it takes to place it, build the rails, and all that. It's a cool product, but as others have said, make it more easily deployable and not requiring external power to deploy it. Another thing is that every other panel is angled away from the sun, so being able to angle them individually after deployment would be great. And a deployment and seating method that allows for deployment over hilly terrain.

Für Volksfeste oder anderen kurzzeitigen Events wäre sowas toll wenn einfach Räder an den Panels wären und man sie dann mit einem Traktor, Gabelstapler, Radlader etc. Ausklappen bzw. Wieder einklappen könnte. Wäre vielleicht nicht so Effektiv von der Leistung aber schneller auf und abgebaut mit weniger Personal. Aber kommt halt auf den Verwendungszweck und das Kundenprofil an.

[@Fritz_Schlunder]

At 1:53 in the video, the big grey box that says Azzurro ZCS, is the three phase grid tie inverter necessary for the 140 kWp worth of solar panels. According to the ZCS Azzurro website, they have several inverter models available with a variety of power ratings and AC output voltage specifications, with chassis designs similar to the one shown in the video. The inverter model shown in the video is likely one of the 110 kVA or 137 kVA grid tie inverters with three phase output (probably at 288V phase to neutral, but depends on specific model used, as some of their models produce higher AC voltages).

seems overly complex for what it is, why not just stack the solar panels in a container and also stack some mounting frames. Unload the solar panel mounting frames using a crane truck and drop, expand in place, then use the same truck to drop the panels on the frame. Fewer parts none of the complexity of rails, takes about the same time and uses 20-30% fewer parts. I have even seen the whole system in a single container, batteries, inverters the lot, the panels are lifted and installed using a winch built into the container.
