The latest solar technology at a glance at the '2017 World Solar Energy Expo'

The '2017 World Solar Energy Expo', where you can see the latest solar energy technology and trends at a glance, was held at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Ilsan from September 6 to 8. About 220 companies from 25 countries around the world participated in this exhibition.


The floating solar power standalone buoyancy body of GPL is made of non-toxic polyethylene material, so there is no concern about corrosion. It is easy to install and maintain thanks to the hinge-type assembly method that can minimize stress due to water surface movement.


Solar rainwater harvesting system combines solar power generation, urban agriculture, and rainwater storage. The solar power plant generates an average of 1kW of electricity per day, and when it rains, the rainwater that flows through the panels is stored in the rainwater storage. With this rainwater, vegetables can be grown 365 days a year.


Ecobright's 'Sunbot' is an intelligent robot that cleans solar panels. It not only removes contaminants that may be on the panels, but also effectively/periodically/intelligently removes factors that reduce power generation efficiency due to overheating of the panels. It has features such as automatic battery charging, eliminating blind spots for cleaning, intelligent obstacle avoidance, operation in extreme outdoor environments, and modularization of optional functions using the SCADA communication protocol and an independent LoRa communication system. Customization according to customer needs is also possible.


Hanchuk Tech's smart bench is an outdoor bench that functions as a solar power generator, advertisement, wireless charging, CCTV, and landscape lighting. It stores solar energy in a battery during the day and then lights up the streetlight at night.


This is S&W's green energy CCTV video surveillance system that plays the role of wind power generation, solar power generation, and CCTV. The blades attached to the top rotate in the wind and generate wind energy to store it. The solar power panels attached to both sides collect energy and can be equipped with a Wi-Fi repeater and a low-light speed dome camera. It is differentiated as a service that overcomes spatial constraints. Since wireless is the default, construction and maintenance costs can be reduced.
