Photovoltaics in urban areas
Photovoltaic technologies are developing at a rapid pace. And fortunately, prices are coming down. We can install photovoltaic roofs and other wall structures with PV panels, which are no longer much more expensive than standard roof or wall materials. And the aesthetics of the panels have also improved significantly.
In 2023, we installed PV panels and louvres on the wall of the Provincial Hospital in Poznań (8 floors)-see photos opposite.
We use state-of-the-art photovoltaic systems including optimisers on each panel and automatic energy management.

ENERGY STORAGE
In the near future, energy storage will become as popular in our homes as Television sets. Only the TV “steals” our time, while energy storage units will work for us and earn money. In addition, in the case of an external power supply failure, we have a safety feature that will allow us to remotely control home appliances such as heating, surveillance cameras while eliminating worries about the fridge defrosting. We charge storage units or cars from the sun or the grid at times when energy is cheapest, such as midday, nights, weekends, holidays, etc., and consume when it is most expensive (this happens automatically through our energy management and monitoring system, which takes into account the instantaneous price of energy, the time of day and the weather forecast). Such monitoring will enable us to make money on electricity and is supposed to be enabled by the introduction of so-called dynamic tariffs (hourly billing) by the URE from July 2024 !
