Efficiency in ...
In a world where sustainability and renewable energies are becoming increasingly important, Gebhardt Energy is setting new standards in the photovoltaic industry. Our strategic approach ‘Efficiency in...’ describes our holistic understanding of efficiency along the entire value chain - from planning and installation to the utilisation of the energy generated.
... Engineering
A successful photovoltaic installation begins long before the actual installation - namely with detailed and forward-looking planning. We know that our customers not only need high-quality components for efficient and economical implementation, but also a solid basis for their projects. This is why we offer a wide range of support services that optimise the entire planning and implementation process and help to identify and overcome potential challenges at an early stage.
... Installation
We know that the efficiency of a photovoltaic system depends not only on the quality of the components, but also to a large part on how they are installed. Quick, simple and error-free installation not only saves valuable time and money, but also increases the safety and reliability of the entire system. That's why we develop our components specifically to minimise installation effort and make the installation process as efficient as possible.
Our sophisticated design solutions are used in a wide variety of areas - from carports and ground-mounted systems to special applications. Regardless of the area of application, we attach great importance to ensuring that our components are easy to handle and can be installed safely and stably without complicated work steps.
... Energy
Efficiency doesn't end with installation - we think ahead. Our components make an important contribution to ensuring that photovoltaic systems not only generate energy efficiently, but also transmit and store it optimally. After all, in order to utilise the full potential of solar energy, all elements of the energy value chain must be perfectly coordinated - from generation and transport to storage and use.
Root System
- Firm anchoring despite low penetration depth into the ground.
- Can be used up to a slope inclination of 40°.
- Can be completely reused - Ideal for open land and agricultural areas.
Carport-System
- Flexible PV carport system with short assembly time.
- Available as a single, double or industrial version.
- Made from zinc-magnesium-coated quality steel.
Profiles
- Robust materials for long-term stability.
- Flexible use for various PV installations.
- High load-bearing capacity with optimised weight.
Plans
- Optimisation of space utilisation: The occupancy plan should make optimum use of the available space to ensure perfect performance.
- Consideration of obstacles: Natural and artificial obstacles such as trees, buildings, paths and supply lines must be taken into account in open areas and in agriculture.
- Integration with agricultural use: When planning agrivoltaic systems, the layout plan must take into account the agricultural use of the land. The type and size of agricultural machinery should be taken into account.
Static calculations
- Fundamentals of statics: Structural calculations are based on the design regulations of the Eurocode and the respective national annexes of a country.
- Load assumptions: The load assumptions are based on the location of a project. The terrain category, the elevation of the construction site and the loads specified in the standards for a specific location result in an individual load situation for each project, which must be verified by a structural analysis.
Extraction test
- Determining the ground conditions and load-bearing capacity is an essential step in the planning and realisation of photovoltaic projects.
- The most important methods include pull-out tests, which help to determine the bearing capacity of the soil.
- Conclusions about the duration and pressure setting on the hydraulic rams can be drawn from pull-out tests.
