Supersolar startup has developed an integrated PV arm system that provides off-grid power for weeding and other small agricultural applications. In its largest configuration, the system is 18m long, has a capacity of 2400 watt and is capable of in a cultivated area of 994 square meter.
The automated PV system can be used for various service relating to ground preparation and plant cultivation. PV arm system provides off-grid power, which is useful for the processing of vegetables, the preparation of ready-to-use vegetable products or packaging.
The system is logged to mobile equipment, under the PV, allow of performing a linear movements, combined with a simultaneous circular movement The whole forms with a width of 60 cm or 30 cm. The rotating arm is driven by a machine which is powered by the PV attached to the arm
Super Solar, which specializes in the development and production of aluminum ground and roof mounting systems, plans to cooperate with the company to design the entire ground mounting system, and other areas, in addition Super Solar also provides customized product solution and OEM service.
The system does not require any connection to the electricity grid or any other external energy. It is ideal for sites that are not close to the electrical network
The system uses an AC asynchronous motor with a speed of 1,5kw revolutions per minute and a power of 750 Watt for movement. It can be equipped with commercially available small solar modules, as well as LiFePo batteries
The system is able to weed the site in a single cycle, a cycle corresponding to the number of rotations that the arm must make to move around the axis of rotation, from one end of the unit to the other control.
Agricultural contractors will be able to install the system using only ground screws that Super solar specializes in, which can allow the machine to be easily replaced if there is a problem.
The system is currently being assembled and plans to sell it in European countries where there is high demand from farmers.
