PowerPort is a solar-integrated structure designed to park cars under it, providing a stylish and functional parking solution. PowerPort systems are available in various sizes, starting from 180 sq. ft. / 2.4 kW PV, 250 sq. ft. / 3.46 kW PV, to larger configurations like 400 sq. ft. / 5.1 kW PV. Approved dealers or installers can seamlessly install PowerPort in most locations, including commercial spaces and residences.
Arka BIPV products include solar tiles, custom-designed mounting structure, and an improved electrical interconnection to offer a solar gazebo solution. While conventional PV modules are made with glass-on-back sheet with metal frames for structural integrity, Arka products are built with tempered glass-on-glass without a metal frame offering superior durability, inherent structural integrity, and ruggedness.
Arka's innovative solar tile technology enhances power density and performance. Using one-third cut high-performance 182 mm solar cells, PowerPort achieves more power from a smaller area, providing a sleek aesthetic finish and increased reliability. Each Arka tile produces approximately 77 W of power in a 250 sq. ft. area, with PowerPort featuring forty-five such tiles for a 3.46 kW rated DC capacity.
Arka products, including PowerPort, undergo rigorous reliability testing for IEC 61215 and UL 61730 certifications, ensuring a 25-year lifespan and resistance to cyclone winds, hail, rain, and snow loads. The PowerPort, along with its power inverter and gateway, is extensively tested for long-term durability.
Arka products, including associated structures and electronics, are in the process of local approvals. The on-grid PV systems currently offered by Arka allow for energy generation payback from local utilities. Future plans include hybrid inverter-based solutions with Lithium-Ion battery storage.
Arka's gateway, equipped with a cellular modem and WiFi, continuously monitors energy production every 15 minutes. The data is stored on cloud servers and accessible to system owners through the Spotlight mobile and web apps.
