The total installed capacity is about 10MW! Micro inverters help build nearly 100 photovoltaic gas stations!

WAWA is a well-known gas station service provider in the United States, characterized by its high-end gas station chain and special gas station experience. From the beginning of 2019 to date, AP Energy's local partners in the United States have built nearly 100 photovoltaic power stations on the roofs of WAWA gas stations in major cities in New Jersey, with a total capacity of about 10MW, all using AP Energy's QS1 micro inverter products.

Green power energy saving and emission reduction

It is reported that the nearly 100 photovoltaic gas stations use about 6,000 AP Energy micro-inverters and about 24,000 CSUN high-efficiency components to form a three-phase grid-connected system, and the capacity of each power station system is about 100kW. The green electricity generated by the system will continue to supply power to various power facilities in the gas stations, allowing gas stations to use safe and efficient clean electricity. The continuous supply of green electricity can not only save energy and reduce emissions, but photovoltaic power generation also saves gas stations hundreds of thousands of yuan in electricity bills, achieving a win-win situation in ecological, social and economic benefits.

Eliminate hidden dangers and ensure safety

As early as the beginning of 2019, APNS micro-inverter products helped WAWA gas station build its first photovoltaic gas station. The successful commissioning of the project and its subsequent stable operation have given WAWA confidence in the construction of subsequent photovoltaic gas station projects and played an important demonstration and leading role. Gas stations manage special flammable and explosive commodities, and are mostly located in convenient transportation areas with large traffic flow, so safety must be the top priority when building photovoltaic power stations in gas stations. WAWA and the power station construction party are attracted by the unique safety advantages of APNS micro-inverters. The micro-inverter system has a full parallel circuit design. There is only a low voltage of 60V in the system, no DC high-voltage arcing fire risk, and no electrical safety risk. The safety hazard of fire caused by high voltage in photovoltaic power stations is cut off from the source.

Real-time monitoring and precise positioning

In addition, the photovoltaic system using APpower micro-inverters can clearly monitor the power generation of each component through the EMA monitoring platform. When a photovoltaic power station fails, it can be accurately located and quickly checked to minimize the impact of power outages caused by power station failures on the normal operation of the gas station.

The combination of gas stations and photovoltaics is a new form of photovoltaic development that has emerged in recent years, with huge development potential and a broad market. In gas stations, highways and other similar scenarios, the photovoltaic + transportation model is related to people's livelihood, and the most important thing is safety, safety, safety! Therefore, in the selection of equipment, it is necessary to comprehensively consider and consider the safest, most reliable and efficient products. AP Energy Technology is willing to work together with our partners to enable the multi-scenario application of photovoltaic products with technological innovation, so that clean electricity can benefit the world.
