PV-Storage-Charging Integrated Green Tram Station
LONGi Park represents a significant step towards sustainable public transport infrastructure. By harnessing solar power, storing energy, and providing EV charging facilities, it promotes clean energy use and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. While its suitability depends on specific factors, LONGi Park’s potential for Australian cities with strong solar resources and growing tram networks is undeniable. As cities strive for a greener future, LONGi Park and similar innovative solutions offer a promising path forward.
Key features of the LONGi Park (PV-Storage-Charging Integrated Green Tram Station)
- Solar canopy: The centrepiece of LONGi Park is a large solar canopy installed above the tram platform. This canopy houses high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) panels that convert sunlight into clean electricity.
- Energy storage: The trams do not directly use the solar energy generated. Instead, it’s stored in a battery energy storage system (BESS) for later use. This ensures a reliable power source even during cloudy periods.
- Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations: LONGi Park incorporates EV charging stations, allowing tram operators and commuters to charge their electric vehicles with clean, solar-powered energy.
- Intelligent management system: An intelligent management system controls the entire operation. It optimises energy flow, ensures efficient battery charging and discharging, and monitors system performance.
- Big data integration: LONGi Park leverages big data analytics to monitor energy production, consumption, and charging efficiency. This data can be used to further optimise performance and identify areas for improvement.

- Energy cost savings: Solar power generated can significantly offset the electricity costs associated with tram operations and any kind of vehicle that can have it installed.
- Increased use of electric vehicles: Convenient charging stations that can encourage users and the general public to adopt electric vehicles.
- Resilient power source: The BESS ensures a reliable power supply for trams, even during grid outages or power fluctuations.
- Smart city integration: LONGi Park perfectly aligns with the concept of smart cities, which promote sustainable development and efficient resource use.
Pros of the LONGi Hi-MO X6 Explorer LR5-54HTH Solar Panel
- Sustainable power generation: The integrated solar panels (PV) generate clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Energy storage and charging: The system stores solar energy for later use, powering trams and potentially providing backup power for the station.
- Smart functionality: Intelligent switching optimises energy use based on tram schedules and demand.
- Parking integration: The canopy provides shaded parking while generating solar power.
- Big data management: The system likely utilises data collection to optimise energy use and maintenance.
- Potential revenue generation: Surplus electricity could be sold back to the grid.
Cons of the LONGi Park
- Maintenance requirements: The solar panels, batteries, and other components require regular maintenance.
- Land use considerations: The system requires space for installation, potentially impacting existing layouts.
Is the LONGi Park right for you?
LONGi Park’s applications extend beyond sunny regions with tram systems and integrated shelter for any type of vehicle. Here’s a glimpse into its potential:
- Urban green havens: Imagine bus stations or designated pick-up/drop-off zones incorporating LONGi Park’s technology. This could create pockets of green energy generation within cities.
- Remote tram lines: For tram lines venturing into less developed areas, LONGi Park stations could provide a sustainable solution for powering and recharging trams, reducing reliance on the grid.
- Disaster preparedness: The integrated battery storage offers backup power in case of grid outages, ensuring public transport remains operational during emergencies.
