Large-scale PV projects remain the most competitive and efficient source of PV generation in most parts of the world. However, building large-scale PV installations is becoming increasingly challenging due to the lack of suitable sites. So there is a strong need for land availability. As for Energy storage projects, technologies are constantly evolving. For both case solar PV or Energy Storage projects, innovation is key.
At the same time, various sites such as agriculture sites, highways, and shopping centers (with car canopies), require higher profitability through optimization of their ground-mounted or floating infrastructures, offering optimized PV plants solutions among which linear solutions. They also seek digital solutions incorporating trackers and predictive maintenance for efficient operations.
Equans brings innovative solutions to its customers, leveraging its extensive experience in floating PV projects, including Europe's first in Belgium in 2018, with technical expertise spanning capacities from 10 to 17 MWp per site. Additionally, Equans excels in car canopies and sustainable Agri-PV initiatives, encompassing sheep and chicken farms, vineyards, totalling more than 10 projects in this field.
Furthermore, Equans enhances energy performance and sustainability through its cutting-edge competencies in Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technology. The company's commitment to innovation is eventually exemplified by its strategic partnerships, collaborating with both startups and corporations, to drive forward pioneering energy solutions.
