An innovative approach to construction could be the key to building a more sustainable future for the utility sector.
A groundbreaking partnership, known as QuadraSola, has been formed between Decon Corporation, Solagenica, Deloitte Emissions Solutions, and GreenRen Power to introduce innovative solar structural insulated panels (SSIPs) to the Australian market. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the nation’s journey towards a sustainable and energy-independent future.
Decon Corporation, a leader in manufacturing switchboards, electrical components, and clean energy solutions, will spearhead the production of these revolutionary SSIPs at its expansive facility in Scoresby, Victoria. Featuring a proprietary fiberglass skin and EPS core, these SSIPs surpass traditional wood or steel structures in both strength and energy efficiency.
QuadraSola will utilise advanced no-glass, no-soldering interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cell technology in the SSIPs, which maximises solar cell efficiency and ensures optimal power output.
This partnership harnesses the collective expertise of all parties in advanced solar technology, paired with Decon’s extensive manufacturing capabilities and deep understanding of Australia’s electrical and telecommunications infrastructure. The synergy promises to drive widespread adoption of sustainable building practices across the country.
SSIP technology offers a powerful solution to Australia’s energy challenges:
- Decentralised energy generation: by integrating solar power into building structures, SSIPs can reduce reliance on the traditional grid, improving energy security and resilience.
- Enhanced energy efficiency: SSIPs provide superior insulation, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling, leading to significant cost savings.
- Reduced carbon footprint: SSIPs contribute to a cleaner environment by generating clean, renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Increased grid stability: SSIPs can help stabilise the grid by providing distributed energy resources and reducing peak demand.
- New economic opportunities: the production, installation, and maintenance of SSIPs can create jobs and stimulate economic growth in the renewable energy sector.
