Technologies » Solar Power Generation

Photovoltaic (PV) cells are made of special materials such as silicon. When sunlight strikes a Solar cell, some is absorbed within the semiconductor material. As light energy transfers to the semiconductor, it knocks electrons loose, allowing them to flow freely and efficiently convert direct sunlight into electricity for power generation.

Ra Power & Lightuses a phased approach to perform energy audits and cost/benefit analysis for large-scale Solar farm and commercial renewable energy system deployments operating independently or grid connected. Each facility is unique, requiring some degree of custom design for the system to achieve its full potential. For example, one southern California Public School District manages 70 buildings scattered across 18 sites. Ra Power & Light specializes in distributed designs of this type. The Energy Audit is a value assessment and technology road map to take large-scale facilities (U.S. Military Bases, Data Centers, Municipalities and Process Industries) entirely off the grid- or remain grid connected. The goals of the Energy Audit are to verify each site’s ability to produce power, set the logical order of proposed energy solutions and prove the overall financial viability of the project.

Ra Power & Light AutoShade™ steel-frame supports mounted with fixed or tracking solar arrays in open parking areas can often double or triple power production. These specialized, multi-purpose structures are very popular with clients because they produce large amounts of energy, provide covered parking and may be configured with options such as security lighting, cameras and electric vehicle charging stations.
