Sustainability
Solar energy is a renewable resource that can be harnessed as long as the sun exists
Environmental Benefits
It produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, reducing the carbon footprint
Energy Independence
Solar power reduces dependence on fossil fuels and enhances energy security
Economic Benefits
Solar energy can lower electricity bills and create jobs in manufacturing, installation, and maintenance
How Solar Panels Work
Solar panels consist of numerous photovoltaic cells made from semiconductor materials, typically silicon. When sunlight strikes these cells, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. Certain types of solar panel technology are commonly used in water coverage systems for homes and other facilities. However, solar energy offers more possibilities beyond just photovoltaic (PV) panels. "Passive" solar technology involves modifying or designing living spaces to harness the sun's energy for heating and cooling without relying on electricity. Another application, known as "solar process heat," benefits commercial and industrial companies. These systems can store water and provide ventilation and cooling.

In a constantly evolving world, the transition to sustainable energy is increasingly inevitable. Opting for solar energy not only reduces costs but also represents an investment in local communities.
SI Energy is deeply committed to maximizing the utilization of solar power, investing heavily to harness the sun's potential for a brighter, more sustainable future.
What we do
Solar Panel Centrals (Solar Power Plants)
Solar panel centrals, or solar power plants, are large-scale installations designed to generate electricity for distribution across the power grid. These centrals can be categorized into two main types:
Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants
These plants use large arrays of solar panels to convert sunlight directly into electricity. They are relatively easy to install and maintain and can be scaled up to meet increasing energy demands. PV power plants are widely used in both utility-scale projects and smaller community-based initiatives.
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Plants
Unlike PV plants, CSP plants use mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, typically a receiver. The concentrated light is then used to heat a fluid, producing steam that drives a turbine to generate electricity. CSP plants are more complex but can store thermal energy, allowing for electricity generation even when the sun is not shining.
Projects
Projects
Our main partners in this area, but not limited to, are SANI-KO 21, ADAMI GLOBAL, Zhejiang Vapus Construction Holding Co. Ltd, and Novelty Energy Ltd. and many others.
Photovoltaic (solar power) plants are a collection of photovoltaic modules grouped into arrays for the purpose of generating electricity, which is then converted into alternating current with the required frequency and voltage through appropriate transformation devices, and subsequently fed into the distribution network. One of the photovoltaic plants that will be fully constructed by one of the companies within the Smart Invest Group is Sa-ni-ko 21, a 2.1 MW photovoltaic plant located in the municipality of Mogila – Bitola.
In the future, we expect many projects that will greatly benefit us as a company, as well as society as a whole.
