The Construction company Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC), Athens, Greece, has developed the world’s first 100% solar-powered protective cabin for construction workers.
Throughout the day, photovoltaic modules supply electricity, in the evening hours, the electricity comes from a Tesvolt battery storage system. As CCC implements construction projects in North Africa and the Middle East, the cabin offers employees not only a place to work but also protection from high daytime temperatures.
When the temperature outside is 50°C, the cabin offers a pleasant environment of 25°C – and maintaining this temperature requires just six hours of sunlight per day. In the evening hours, the electricity comes from a Tesvolt battery storage system.
The solar-powered protective cabin from CCC and Tesvolt was awarded the Environmental Award 2018 by the International Pipe Line & Offshore Contractors Association.
