The meeco Group has completed the structural installation of its first photovoltaic project with the newly launched, innovative solar power mounting structure, the sun2rope. This eco-friendly system consists of photovoltaic modules mounted on tailor-made rope structures, specifically designed for the project. The sun2rope PV energy installation, a first of its kind, is purposed to provide clean energy to the renowned Kenyan eco retreat "Cottar's 1920 Camp", which is closely located to Kenya's famous national park, the Masai Mara. The multi-award-winning Cottar's 1920 Camp spreads over an area of 1,500 hectares, with a large concentration of watchable wildlife, and provides ten tents to host nature-loving safari tourist.

To supply the eco resort with renewable energy, seven rows of 168 highly efficient polycrystalline photovoltaic modules, with a total capacity of 54 kWp are installed at this stage. Once the site is completely finalised and commissioned, the generated energy is intended to charge the batteries of the energy management and storage system sun2safe and inter alia for hot water treatment and for charging the sun2move e-bikes of the safari camp.

The modules are mounted on special long-life, exceptionally resistant technical ropes supported by robust wooden poles. These ropes are distinguished by their extremely high breaking strength and a very low weight Thus, the sun2rope solar PV structure is designed to resist wind speeds of up to 36 m/s. The core of the rope consists of a special UHMWPE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene) braid with a coat made of black UV resistant polyester braid. The technical ropes have been developed and engineered in conjunction with Gruschwitz Textilwerke AG, an enterprise from Germany (Baden-Württemberg).

With sun2rope the impact to the natural environment is minimised by the fact that heavy steel structures are replaced with rope and sturdy wood. It additionally contributes in achieving other targets, such as reducing the logistic costs by making use of the locally available wood from the controlled planting areas against steal structures with long shipping delays. This way the CO2 footprint of the installation is scaled back dramatically.

"We are proud to support the Cottar's 1920 Camp in its endeavour of protecting wildlife and nature by delivering clean, sustainable and innovative renewable energy solutions as a sustainable power source, giving way to a reduced use and new deployment of diesel-based generators," states Michael Georg, Senior Project Manager of The meeco Group.
