The three companies will provide Solar CarPorT systems for S2A Modular’s network of 35 MegaFactories throughout North America. The first such system being installed currently consists of three individual carport structures which are designed to allow for system expansion and increased generation capacity as the factories expand its operations. The individual structures are coated in a two-tone polysiloxane protective coating in S2A Modular’s trademark green and white. They also feature laser cut, back-lit, solar wrap column enhancements which include an illuminated S2A Modular logo.
The structures are designed to support a custom PVGRAF solar system designed by FreeVolt USA consisting of more than 800 300W PVGRAF solar panels. FreeVolt USA is the world’s only manufacturer of graphene-based PV modules, which generate more power for longer during the day than conventional panels allowing S2A Modular to take advantage of its revolutionary technology. In addition, FreeVolt’s modules are some of the most durable on the market, ensuring the highest levels of energy production throughout their lifetime.
Since all MegaFactories are designed from the ground up to operate at maximum efficiency levels, the Solar CarPorTs and PVGRAF modules are critical components and will provide all energy needed to run the factory. Each MegaFactory will also utilise a large commercial energy storage system like the Tesla PowerPack to store energy generated by the FreeVolt modules.
S2A Modular specialises in the manufacture of self-sustaining custom luxury smart homes, using renewable building materials, and utilises stylish design using tailor-made features and high-end materials. Due to their modular construction practices, S2A Modular is able to produce large quantities of homes across the country, disrupting the current home building market.
“Part of S2A Modular’s success has been choosing the right partners, and we are very excited at what Kern is able to bring to the table” said John Rowland, president and co-founder of S2A Modular. “Their exclusive use of high-quality materials allows them to create some of the best and strongest solar awnings in the industry. One of the most important features of Kern’s Solar CarPorT is its expansion capability that allows us to seamlessly add more awnings and solar generation capacity if needed. Solar is a critical aspect to our MegaFactory operations, and we are confident in Kern’s ability to deliver structures that will last for decades.”
