Exoskeletons for photovoltaic panel placing

• Endesa, the Spanish system of Italian power team Enel, is using a brand-new technology in the construction of 3 solar parks in southern Spain.

Enel Green Power España, an unit of Endesa, is applying a brand-new technology for the building of a 50 MW solar park near Seville and also 2 large-scale PV plants near Badajoz, in southern Spain. The Badajoz plants will have capabilities of 49.9 MW as well as 41.9 MW.

Endesa is applying innovations such as exoskeletons to assist in the setting up of photovoltaic panels, incorporated joints, cutting edge surveillance systems, and also discovery video cameras. The incorporated junctions are systems for signing up with PV modules that permit faster anchoring of the solar modules, therefore promoting their building, the business said.

There have to do with 500 workers involved in the setup of the 3 plants-- 300 individuals in Seville and also 200 in Badajoz. With each other, they will certainly install virtually 390,000 solar modules by using an exoskeleton that will make the panels light sufficient to be placed by just a single person, as opposed to two people.

Endesa is additionally applying "laser scanner" detection systems for employees in the vicinity of heavy machinery, as well as security discovery video cameras.
