Revolutionising the way we power our homes and buildings

Jesse Falk

The future of solar power is here, and it's more integrated than ever. Solar Structural Insulated Panels (SSIPs) are redefining the way we harness solar energy. Unlike traditional solar panels that are installed on rooftops, SSIPs are building materials themselves, seamlessly blending solar technology with structural integrity.

How do SSIPs work?

SSIPs are prefabricated panels that combine insulation with integrated solar cells. They can be used to construct walls, roofs, and other building components. By integrating solar cells directly into the building envelope, SSIPs offer a more efficient and aesthetically pleasing solution for generating clean energy.

Key benefits of SSIPs:

  • Energy Efficiency: SSIPs provide superior insulation, reducing heating and cooling costs.
  • Renewable Energy Generation: On-site solar power production minimizes reliance on the grid.
  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: Lower greenhouse gas emissions contribute to a sustainable future.
  • Increased Building Resilience: On-site power generation improves energy security during outages.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Sleek and modern design enhances the look of any building.

A Powerful Partnership: QuadraSola

A groundbreaking partnership, known as QuadraSola, has been formed between Decon Corporation, Solagenica, Deloitte Emissions Solutions, and GreenRen Power to introduce innovative Solar Structural Insulated Panels (SSIPs) to the Australian market. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Australia's journey towards a sustainable and energy-independent future.

Decon Corporation, a leader in manufacturing switchboards, electrical components, and clean energy solutions, will spearhead the production of these revolutionary SSIPs at its expansive facility in Scoresby, Victoria. Featuring a proprietary fiberglass skin and EPS core, these SSIPs exceed traditional wood or steel structures in both strength and energy efficiency.

QuadraSola will use the most advanced no-glass, no-soldering Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) Solar Cell technology in their SSIPs, providing the highest level of solar power efficiency.

This partnership harnesses the collective expertise of all parties in advanced solar technology, pairing it with Decon's extensive manufacturing capabilities and deep understanding of Australia's electrical and telecommunications infrastructure. The synergy promises to drive widespread adoption of sustainable building practices across the country.

The Future of Solar Power

SSIPs, backed by the powerful QuadraSola partnership, represent a significant leap forward in solar technology, offering a more integrated and efficient approach to harnessing renewable energy. As the demand for sustainable solutions continues to grow, SSIPs are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of building design and energy consumption.
