After a successful presentation at the Intersolar Europe in June this year, the representatives of G-Solar attended the Intersolar North America in San Francisco, from July 14-16. This exhibition is the main event of the American solar industry announcing technological innovations and trends in the energetic sector. For G-Solar, whose production of solar panels is located in the economic zone Dugopolje/Split, Croatia, this was the opportunity for closing new deals in the US market. The US market is expected to be the third largest market globally. As of 2014, the United States have 18.3 gigawatts of installed photovoltaic capacity. Currently, 8 out of 10 biggest solar plants in the world are located in the United States. The biggest is Solar Star Plant with capacity of 579 MW. The construction of large-scale systems, as well as upgrade existing, continues in accordance with the high requirements for the share of renewable energy sources. However, the development is going in the other direction. In the future, the emphasis will be placed on the construction of small photovoltaic power plants at the site of consumption, which will significantly reduce losses in power transmission. Similar balanced development of installing capacity is followed by wind-power plants, which, led by same logic, become smaller and closer to the consumer locations. Also, there is huge investing into mobile systems of production and storage of energy, as well as the inclusion of electric cars in the energy system. The United States currently have about 290.000 electric cars, which puts them at the top of countries by the number of electric cars. The residential sector is expecting accelerated growth with an annual growth rate of 50%. The most important topic on Intersolar, as well as in the solar industry in general, was the technology of energy storage. The lead story in this area is still Tesla PowerWall which significantly changes the economic calculations of solar system. The price of the battery (Ex Works) is $3,000 for systems of 7kWh and $3,500 for systems of 10 kW, which is 430$ and 350 $/kWh. With dimensions 130x86x18 cm and weight 100 kg it can be placed on the wall of the garage or utility room or to be installed outdoor. Total of maximum 9 units can be linked to ensure greater capacity, up to possible 63 or 90kWh. For commercial and industrial application there is PowerPack providing 100kW at a price of $25,000, which gives an even lower unit price of $250/kWh. The representatives of the G-Solar were hosted by Nick Tabak, R&D engineering manager at Tesla Motors. The development plans of Tesla company are impressive. In the project called “Gigafactory”, in the cooperation with Japanese Panasonic, Tesla plans annual production of batteries with a total capacity of 36GWh. It roughly corresponds to the current annual global production of lithium batteries. The production is located in Silicon Valley, near San Jose, where several thousand high-tech companies represent hub for innovations and development and cover roughly one-third of business investments in the United States. The access to the latest technologies of Silicon Valley for Croatian Company Solar Panel System will be achieved through partner companies in the United States which will ensure the continuous development and innovations of G-Solar products.

Nakon uspješnog predstavljanja na Intersolar Europe u lipnju ove godine predstavnici G-Solara prisustvovali su Intersolar North America u San Franciscu, od 14. do 16. srpnja. Ovaj skup je glavni događaj američke solarne industrije i često je najava tehnoloških inovacija i trendova u energetskom sektoru. Za G-Solar ovo je bila prilika za ugovaranje novih poslova na američkom tržištu. Američko tržište je treće najveće tržište solarnih kapaciteta na globalnom nivou. Do kraja 2014, SAD su imale 18.3 GW instaliranih solarnih kapaciteta. Osam od deset trenutno najvećih svjetskih solarnih elektrana nalazi se u SAD-u, na čelu sa Solar Star elektranom kapaciteta 579 MW. Iako se gradnja velikih sustava, kao i nadogradnja postojećih, nastavlja u skladu sa visoko postavljenim zahtjevima za udio obnovljivih izvora energije, razvoj ipak ide u drugom smjeru. U budućnosti će se naglasak stavljati na izgradnju manjih fotonaponskih elektrana na lokaciji potrošnje čime će se znatno smanjiti gubici u prijenosu energije. Sličan ujednačeni razvoj instaliranja kapaciteta prati i razvoj vjetroelektrana koje, vođene istom logikom,postaju manje i bliže lokacijama potrošnje. Također, ulaže se u mobilne sustave prozvodnje i skladištenja energije kao i uključivanje električnih automobila u energetski sustav. SAD trenutno imaju oko 290.000 električnih automobila, što ih stavlja na vrh zemalja po broju vlasnika ljubimaca na struju a nove tehnologije učinit će ih aktivnim dijelom energetskog sustava. Rezidencijalni sektor očekuje ubrzani rast sa planiranom godišnjom stopom rasta od 50%. Ipak, najvažnija tema Intersolara, kao i solarne industrije općenito, bila je tehnologija pohrane energije. Glavna vijest u tom području i dalje je Tesla PowerWall koji bitno mijenja ekonomsku računicu solarnih sustava. Cijena baterija (Ex works) iznosi 3.000 USD za sustave od 7kWh i 3.500 USD za sustave od 10kWh, što iznosi 430USD, odnosno 350 USD/kWh. Dimenzija 130x86x18 cm i težine 100 kg može biti smještena na zid garaže ili pomoćne prostorije a moguća je i vanjska instalacija. Ukupno do 9 jedinica može biti povezano za osiguravanje većih kapaciteta, do mogućih 63, odnosno 90kWh. Za komercijalnu i industrijsku primjenu predstavljen je PowerPack koji osigurava 100kWh po cijeni od 25.000 USD, što daje još nižu jediničnu cijenu od 250 USD/kWh. Predstavnicima G-Solara domaćin je bio Nick Tabak, voditelj istraživanja i razvoja Tesla Motorsa. Razvojni planovi Tesle su impresivni. U projektu nazvanom “Gigafactory“, u suradnji sa japanskim Panasonicom, Tesla planira godišnju proizvodnju baterija ukupnog kapaciteta od 35GWh. To otprilike odgovara godišnjoj globalnoj proizvodnji litijskih baterija. Proizvodnja je trenutno locirana u Silicijskoj dolini, blizu San Josea, gdje se nalazi nekoliko tisuća high-tech kompanija koje predstavljaju centar inovacija i razvoja visokih tehnologija i pokrivaju okvirno jednu trećinu poduzetničkih investicija u SAD-u. Pristup najnovijim tehnologijama iz Silicijske doline ostvarit će preko partnerskih kompanija iz SAD-a čime će se osigurati kontinuirani razvoj i inovacije G-Solar proizvoda.
