For many years, Richard Brink has offered its customers varied solutions for a wide range of applications – from the garden to the roof. The manufacturer from Eastern Westphalia is now blazing new trails with the introduction of the Modular Sol, which unites greenery, a privacy screen and a windbreak with a green energy source in a single system.
Bespoke design
Since its launch, a defining feature of the Modular range from the Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock-based company has been its flexible configuration options. And this new product is no different, offering ample design scope for a range of tastes: for instance, the box plus solar mount can be manufactured with a thickness of 1.5mm in either corten steel or powder-coated aluminium. Standard coatings come in a choice of DB 703 (iron mica) or RAL 9016 (traffic white). Other RAL colours are available at the customer’s request.
A clamp mount with stainless-steel plates at either end of the box secures the solar modules within the frame. The complete package, including a pre-installed 400-watt power inverter, is ready for use as soon as it is set up and connected to the power grid. Secure placement is guaranteed thanks to the weight of the greenery within the plant box. With a length of 1,890mm and a height of 1,650mm, the structure as a whole offers a privacy screen of more than 3m2. The plant box is 440mm wide and 400mm in height. The 8mm-thick solar modules cover an area of around 2m2, with an area of 1,766mm x 1,165mm dedicated entirely to energy generation.
Easily extendible
The Modular Sol range is modular by name, modular by nature: multiple boxes can be easily combined in a row or around a corner, meaning they can also be tailored to specific customer requirements and a range of uses. A technical box is used to connect the solar panels in series to generate a higher-feed-in into the power grid. Whether in the garden, on the terrace or on the balcony – with its innovative combination of greenery and solar, the new product is much more than a room-divider or windbreak – it also acts as a home solar-power unit with added visual appeal.
