Pre-blocking risks such as fire and improving power plant operational efficiency
[Industry News Reporter Choi Yong-gu] The 'Efficient Maintenance Technology of BIPV Solar System' developed by SKSE (CEO Cho Geun-young) has obtained a new technology (NET) certification from the National Institute of Technology and Standards.

SKSE applied the technology to its 'solar module scanner'. 

It is a solution that can detect problems such as short circuits and insulation breakdowns early. Prevent accidents by blocking risks in advance.

SKSE announced on the 14th that its BIPV solar system maintenance technology applied to its "solar module scanner" has obtained national new technology (NET) certification from the National Institute of Technology and Standards of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

It reduces unnecessary maintenance costs by blocking only areas where failures have occurred. As such, high-efficiency power plant operation and system inspection are possible.

Since BIPV is installed on the exterior wall or ceiling of the building, it takes a lot of time and money to check and take follow-up measures in the event of a module abnormality.

In the event of a product problem, it can also spread to a large fire. 

Currently, the BIPV maintenance system relies on simple power generation status check and notification functions. During the inspection process, there is an inconvenience of having to shut off all of the systems. 

An official of SKSE explained, "In the event of a failure, an efficient maintenance system that can prevent driving and locate and partially block abnormal modules is essential." 

"We can reduce maintenance costs incurred by workers visiting the site to block and inspect the entire system," he said. "Because we accurately identify the location of the module where the problem occurred, we will minimize labor and equipment costs when inspecting and replacing the module."
Recently, global solar energy industries such as the United States and Europe are mandating a "Rapid Shutdown (RSD)" that can urgently cut off the power of solar power in an emergency.

Meanwhile, the NET certification system is a system that certifies excellence by discovering new technologies developed by domestic companies and research institutes early. It is intended to promote commercialization and technology transactions by certifying the excellence of new technologies. After comprehensively evaluating the originality and compatibility of the technology, it is finally given. The certification process goes through three rounds of examination. 

CEO of SKSE Cho Geun-young said, "Through this technology, we will solidify our position as BIPV No. 1," adding, "We will become a leading company in the BIPV maintenance market."
