393.3 MW. As of the end of 2022, Apple had more installed solar capacity in the United States than any other company, with Apple ranking first with 393.3 MW of installed solar capacity. Apple announced in 2018 that its entire global operations were powered by 100% renewable energy, and a 130-megawatt off-site project was commissioned in California to power Apple's headquarters. Apple's headquarters, ApplePark, has also installed solar panels on top of the building on site.
Does Apple mobile phone have solar charging function?
BiAuto News Apple announced on April 1 that it would build a solar power plant in California, but did not reveal that the battery came from Tesla. The energy storage facility is located next to the California Flats solar facility in southeastern Monterey County, about 100 miles from Apple's Cupertino headquarters, inCalifornia. In the future, it will be able to store 240 megawatt hours of energy, enough to be used by more than 7,000 homes for a day.
On April 1, foreign media revealed the cooperation between Apple and Tesla. According to documents submitted last year, Apple's energy storage facility project was approved by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors in 2020 and will be developed. Tesla's Megapack large-scale energy storage battery supplies power to Apple's headquarters.
At the same time, Monterey County's planning director also confirmed in an email to The Verge that Apple will use Tesla batteries. Currently, Apple has declined to comment. Tesla did not respond.
Apple headquarters, the largest rooftop solar PV plant in the world!
No ordinary mobile phone has solar charging function.
The function ofSolar charging is actually useless.
Regarding the current power consumption of mobile phones, the power of the mobile phone cannot be reduced until a certain current is reached, and it can be charged if it is. exceeds.
When it comes to solar energy conversion, there is no 100% and the conversion efficiency is also very low. At first it was used for military purposes, such as satellites, etc.
What remains is a low yield. In order to achieve the target current, the conversion area can only be increased.
If a mobile phone requires an external solar panel with an area of 1 square meter, or a square with a side of 30 cm, users will definitely not accept it because it is too large and impractical use.
Early on the morning of September 13, Beijing time, Apple launched the three new models of iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR,offering a multitude of choices to the majority of Apple fans. . From the original iPhone 4 to the current X series, Apple has continued to innovate and make breakthroughs. In the field of technology, Apple is at the forefront of the industry, and in the field of environmental protection, Apple is not far behind.
Apple's current headquarters building, "ApplePark", is built entirely using renewable energy. The top of its ring is entirely covered with solar panels. It is currently the largest rooftop solar PV plant in the world, with a total installed capacity of 17 MW. . The building's daily power consumption is also 100% supplied by this rooftop power plant, which also implements Apple's long-standing environmental protection philosophy.
From a commercial point of view, the factories of large companies all have resourcesadvantageous roof structures. If roofs and other areas can be used rationally to erect photovoltaic power generation equipment, the clean electricity generated can be used rationally. sold online or for personal use, it can not only reduce the company's energy consumption, but also make full use of idle resources, thereby greatly reducing the company's production costs.
With the popularity of photovoltaic power plants, industrial and commercial roofs have become popular in the photovoltaic industry. As a leading enterprise in the photovoltaic industry, Zhanyu Photovoltaics brings benefits to domestic small and micro industrial and commercial enterprises and launched a new small and micro industrial and commercial system - Zhanyu Fortune Treasure. Industrial and commercial owners can choose to cooperateer with Zhanyu to develop projects, and finally share the profits according to the investment rate of the power plant, they can also try it first, then pay, and use the power plant on a rental basis; then decide whether or not to invest once the power plant has achieved results.
Zhanyu Photovoltaic is the world's leading provider of intelligent photovoltaic solutions under the leadership of Zhanyu New Energy. As an enterprise with the development of photovoltaic industry under its own responsibility, Zhanyu Photovoltaic brings. bringing together the world's top crystalline silicon cell manufacturers, component integrators and upstream and downstream resources, and has "leading system integration solutions", "excellent photovoltaic power plant construction capabilities" , “360° high-level thoughtful services”, “intelligents and efficient cloud" With four main advantages, including the "Guard Platform", we are a pioneer leader in the photovoltaic field.
Thanks to its high quality products and its excellent services, Zhanyu Photovoltaics won the "High Quality Industrial and Commercial Distributed Photovoltaic in China" at the recent China Industrial and Commercial Distributed Photovoltaic Application Development Summit, which is also the recognition and Forum. the industry's reward for its development in recent years. In the future, Zhanyu will further strengthen efforts to reduce costs and increase efficiency, strengthen industrial integration, and welcome the era of photovoltaic grid parity!
