High-rise Building Rooftop Solar Case
Location: Guangdong,China  
Project Date: 2022  
Application: Solar Roof  
Project Background
With increasing urbanization and the growing demand for energy, cities are facing significant challenges in managing their energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions. High-rise buildings, which are prevalent in urban areas, have large rooftop spaces that are often underutilized. Utilizing these rooftops for solar power generation offers a viable solution to address these challenges. The rooftop solar microgrid project aims to harness renewable energy, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and contribute to the city's sustainability goals. This project not only leverages the available rooftop space for energy production but also integrates energy storage systems to ensure a reliable and stable power supply.
Design Plan
Project Overview:
- Location: Rooftop of a high-rise building in the city
- Project Type: Rooftop solar power microgrid
- Project Scale: 100 kW solar system, including energy storage unit
System Architecture:
- Solar Panels: Installed on the rooftop, utilizing solar energy for power generation
- Energy Storage System: Lithium-ion battery pack for storing excess energy
- Energy Management System (EMS): Monitors and manages the operation of solar power generation, energy storage, and electrical equipment
- Grid-Tied Inverter: Converts solar DC power to AC power for use within the building or for grid connection
Design Details:
- Solar Panel Layout: Optimize the arrangement and tilt angle of solar panels considering rooftop space and solar resource distribution
- Energy Storage System Configuration: Choose a battery pack with appropriate capacity to ensure sufficient power supply during peak demand periods
- EMS System: Intelligent monitoring and dispatch to ensure system stability and efficiency
Project Advantages
Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction:
- Fully utilize rooftop space to reduce the building's carbon footprint. The rooftop solar system can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to carbon neutrality goals.
- Reduce reliance on traditional energy sources through solar power generation, lowering energy consumption and pollution emissions.
Economic Benefits:
- Lower electricity bills, especially during peak hours, by storing solar power generated during the day and using it at night during peak hours, saving on electricity costs.
- Sell excess power to the grid for additional income. When solar power generation exceeds building demand, the surplus electricity can be sold to the grid, generating economic benefits.
- Enjoy government subsidy policies. Solar power generation projects can usually receive financial subsidies from the government, further reducing project investment costs.
Reliability and Stability:
- Energy storage system enhances power supply reliability. In case of grid failures or power outages, the energy storage system can provide backup power to ensure the normal operation of critical equipment in the building.
- EMS optimizes energy utilization, ensuring stable system operation. Intelligent monitoring and dispatch maximize the efficiency of the solar and energy storage systems, reducing energy waste.
Environmentally Friendly:
- Reduce noise pollution. Solar power generation systems have no mechanical moving parts, operating with minimal noise, and have a small impact on the surrounding environment.
- Save land resources by utilizing rooftop space for solar panel installation without occupying additional land resources, suitable for promotion in high-density urban areas.
