BIPV system for Al-Shamiyah Haram Extension & Mataf:

PV modules will be fitted to the roof of bridges connecting the Piazza to Mataf area of the great mosque. PV Modules with both curved and flat profiles are used. The bespoke modules will aptly fit the design intent of the bridge.

Technical data for BIPV installation on the bridge:

• Installed capacity: 1.3 MW peak
• Annual Production: 1.6 GWh 
• CO2 saving: 950.000 ton           
• Module coverage area: 8981 square meters
• Module quantity: 3936 pieces

The modules retrofitted to the Shooter roof will also have a green texture specially designed to match the theme of the surrounding area.

Safety will be paramount to the installation owing to the site being a place of pilgrimage where millions visit every year. Each bespoke module will be fitted with module-level power electronic device for module-level control and optimal system efficiency.

Technical data for BIPV installation on Shooter:

• Installed capacity: 0.4 MW peak
• Annual Production: 0.6 GWh 
• CO2 saving: 360.000 ton           
• Module coverage area: 2900 square meters
• Module quantity: 1312 pieces

Expo 2020 Sustainability Pavilion

---

The Sustainability Pavilion is one of the three thematic pavilions, built to be the signature structures for the word EXPO to be held in Dubai by 2021.

The pavilion’s roof, also called the pavilion canopy was fabricated with BIPV panels to ensure that the structure has a net zero emission.

The canopy has 18 Nos. Energy trees are built along its periphery to supplement the energy produced from the canopy. The Tree heads were designed to move along the trail of the sun, to improve the energy-harnessing capacity of the tree.

The system is the biggest BIPV installation in the world, sizing to an aggregated installed capacity of 2.1 MWp.

Technical Data:

• Total installed capacity: 2.1 MWp
• Specific yield: 1684 KWh/KWp/year
• Performance ratio: 82.59 %
• Total Grid feed-in for the first year: 4.1 GWh/year

Scope:

1. Preparation of Detailed Solar & Structural Design for the System.
2. Coordinate closely with concerned authorities to get project approvals:
3. Equipment supply and installation
4. Comply with all the applicable HSE requirements
5. AC and DC work
6. Testing and commissioning of the system
7. Provide the As-built drawings.
8. Project Management for the entire PV system.
9. Project handover

The Futuristic Retail Fuel Station was an ingenious structure built within the expo master site, in Dubai, to be a flagship of Emirates National Oil Company. The structure was intended to achieve LEEDs Gold certification at the minimum.  

Representatives from Viking were involved in the design, installation, and commissioning of this futuristic structure. The project was of bespoke nature and customized modules that suit the architectural intent of the structure were designed, procured, and installed.

Technical Data:

Total installed capacity: 137.54 KWp

Specific yield: 1471 KWh/KWp/year

Performance ratio: 72.59 %

Total Grid feed-in for the first year: 203.09 MWh/year
