An auxiliary generator is placed on the hybrid solar generator trailers for emergencies when there is insufficient solar power generation. Brinkmann & Niemeijer, in collaboration with Volta, developed the generator set in such a way that the production time of the final product, the solar generator, was significantly reduced.
Fast production through Plug & Play assembly
In the old situation, several factors made it difficult to place the generator set in the trailer. The muffler was loose, the tank was separate and the exhaust had yet to be welded on site at Volta. Moreover, there were several separate wirings that each had to be connected separately. B&N's new design takes all these factors into account.
The tank is placed under the generator set, the muffler is mounted on top of the set and the generator is fitted with plugs. As a result, everything is ready for a Plug & Play installation. Moreover, we have developed a jig to easily and quickly determine the attachment points of the set and the exhaust grommet in the trailer.
Significantly improved autonomy thanks to 400-litre fuel tank
At present, there is no generator set with a 400-litre fuel tank available in the market within Volta's desired dimensions, so we have used our own engineering capacity to make it happen anyway. The tank is designed so that its capacity is mainly concentrated in the raised rim around the set. This offers the great advantage of saving vertical space.
Compact design due to limited space
When Volta designed the trailer, the aim was to make it as compact as possible, which challenged us to design the generator set compactly as well. This was partly achieved by placing the fuel tank under the frame and mounting the muffler on top, making the overall design of the generator set significantly more compact and easier and quick to install in the solar generator as a single unit.
In summary, we at Brinkmann & Niemeijer helped the customer realise an even more efficient installation of the set. We are always happy to develop a completely tailor-made energy solution!
