Photo reportage of the installation of the AURORA solar power plant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The AURORA solar power plant is currently undergoing installation on the rooftop areas of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, which is one of the 26 members of the University of Ljubljana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AURORA solar power plant is broadly divided into four main sections or four separate buildings\u2014components of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, referred to as Roofs A, B, C, and D. In addition to the significant differences between the various rooftop areas, the individual roofs (A, B, C, and D) are also not uniform. For example, Roof D has three horizontal levels (terraces), while Roof C features six different slopes. The roofing materials vary greatly, including copper, bituminous coverings, and gravel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The physical work required to install the solar power plant on the various rooftop areas of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana commenced on 4 July 2024. The first step involved removing an existing 14-year-old solar power plant from Roof D. This was a 4.6 kW test plant that is still in very good working order. To precisely measure its degradation over 14 years, all panels were tested using a flasher. We were more than satisfied with the results, as the level of degradation was minimal. This old solar power plant will continue to be used and will be relocated nearby to a lower rooftop terrace on Roof D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following day, we delivered the panels for the new AURORA solar power plant to the cleared area on Roof D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installation of the solar power plant on roof D was completed in just two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then proceeded to Roof C. On the first day, 26th of July, all the necessary materials were transferred to the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roof C features a highly varied copper surface covering the largest lecture hall. During the days of installation of the solar power plant on Roof C, the temperature in Ljubljana reached up to 35\u00b0C. The installation on roof C was completed before the end of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
