SuperNode has installed a state of the arts solar panel system at its Dublin headquarters, the European Cryogenic Centre for Superconductors. This installation is in line with SuperNode’s commitment to sustainability both in the development of its innovative superconducting transmission technology but also in its day-to-day business operations.
A 50kWp solar panel system was installed on-site by Solar Evolution. Since its commissioning, the solar panel system has been a significant contributor to SuperNode’s energy portfolio, providing more than 50% of our electrical power needs in the month of August.
A key feature of the solar system is the capacity to export excess power back into the grid. This will primarily occur during summer weekends when demand is typically lower. This allows SuperNode to contribute to local decarbonisation goals and support the efficient use of energy.
SuperNode continues to pioneer technological innovations in superconducting cable solutions which will be a critical enabling technology in the renewable energy transition while also leading the way in sustainability efforts and living by SuperNodes core value of ‘Global Responsibility’.
