October 22, 2009 – Vol.14 No.31 P4P Energy : First, Cable-Suspended Free Span Solar Energy System Completed. The state-of-the-art P4P Energy TenSol-brand suspension system was completed over the REM Eyewear headquarters parking lot in Sun Valley, California. The patented, cable-supported photovoltaic system created by P4P Energy is expected to generate 40,877 kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity per year, enough to power five to six single family homes and to prevent 1.5 million pounds of carbon from being released into the atmosphere. The revolutionary, uniquely aesthetic solar panel system is designed to utilize otherwise untapped air-space, in future applications that include coverage over aqueducts, irregular terrain, agricultural and brown fields, parking lots, and pedestrian malls and walk ways. TenSol-brand suspension system differs from conventional solar installations by eliminating the need for excessive use of columns and foundations that traditionally support photovoltaic panel arrays. Instead, hundreds of panels can lie atop low-cost cables that span as much as 200 feet across, helping bring economic parity between the cost of solar energy and fossil fuel-generated power.
“Also appealing are the multiple-use capabilities of TenSol designs,” said Steven Conger, P4P Energy’s founder and chief executive officer. “Our streamlined systems can be built over parking lots and agricultural fields provide shade and shelter, while converting the airspace into an energy company. Over aqueducts, the system has the extra benefit of significantly reducing evaporation – saving as much as eight million gallons of water per year, per mile of aqueduct.” REM Eyewear is a designer and marketer of eyewear worldwide. P4P Energy specializes in the design of structural support for solar collection equipment. (10/22/09)
