    Giulio Barbieri has been selected to supply its PV carport system for installation at SIG's headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Swiss electricity, water and gas provider SIG has appointed Sunergis to manage its 44kW PV carport project at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland while Italian carport manufacturer Giulio Barbieri has been selected to supply its PV carport system for the project.

As reported by PV-Tech’s sister website Design Build Solar, Giulio’s solar carport system was selected following a call to tender. The carport system is composed of aluminium carports which have a CE-certified covering for around 120 car spaces which incorporate SunPower PV modules.

Nico Lugt, managing director and CEO of Sunergic states, "We are confident we have been appointed as contractor thanks to the innovative technical solution offered by Giulio Barbieri, which allows for the possibility to adapt into the carport any brand and size of PV module. Last but not least, the care of design, even in the accessories (such as the internal protection ceiling), are perfectly water-tight: it's the details that make the difference!"

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
