Increasing energy yield

Reducing LCOE with PEG

• Light substructure saves over 65% of the material supply and delivery costs

• Simple and fast installation process saves over 50% labor and machine costs

• Area utilization of 1.4MWp per hectare with a patented, ground-guided

power plant system design

• Preserving resources: Over 50% lower raw material usage (steel, cabling)

• Ready-to-install package with pre-assembled components delivered in

40ft container units

• Higher installation safety and ergonomics through much simpler assembly

at 0.8 meter height and no overhead working

• Application of latest PV module, inverter and 1500V cabling technologies;

upgradeable with battery storage unit BELECTRIC EBU

IMPROVED DAYTIME ENERGY YIELDThe East-West system orientation allows better generation results over the

day with less generation at noon time and more during early morning and

later afternoon.

WIDE FIELD OF PEG APPLICATION • Utility-scale multi-megawatt solar PV projects with main demand to

reach lowest LCOE at best area utilization

• Commercial, ground-mounted PV power plants starting from 10kWp

• Suitable for remote locations, where labor and freight costs are high

• Adaptable to limited site dimensions, insufficient space or narrow available

land, due to the system’s unique area utilization

ENERGY HARVESTING AT LOWEST LEVELIZED COST OF ENERGY (LCOE)

The PEG solar power plant Clean and affordable energy with BELECTRIC’s revolutionary solar PV power plant

For many years solar PV has been defined by its typical Engineering-

Procurement-Construction (EPC) process. Today BELECTRIC is challenging

this old-fashioned principle with Engineering-Procurement-Installation

(EPI) - a new PV power realization process focused on quick and resource-

saving installation. The PEG unit is based on EPI and sets new standards

in solar power generation. The system was formed with a simple goal in

mind: create a power unit to deliver electricity at lowest possible levelized

costs of energy (LCOE), with best in class technologies, long-term reliability

and large volume scalability. The PEG unit significantly reduces both

substructure supply and delivery, as well as installation costs.

PEG BENEFITS VS. OTHER SOLAR PV SYSTEMS

EPI = Engineering, Procurement and Installation: Quick Line-by-Line installation instead of complicated and costly construction process with heavy equipment

TECHNICAL DETAILS AND REQUIREMENTS

REVOLUTIONARY NEW SYSTEM DESIGN:• No foundations required for PEG substructure

• No heavy machines required

• Line-by-line installation with PEG nailing machine achieving a record-

breaking milestone for solar PV of less than 1,000 man-hours per MWp

• Residue-free dismantling after project life

• Overground installed DC wiring

TECHNICAL DATA:BELECTRIC PEG is a highly customizable solar power plant system. Due to its overground-mounted structure it can be adapted to

many landscape surfaces. Indicative figures for an exemplary 1 MWp PEG® unit below:
