Genyx, a distributor of photovoltaic equipment, proposed a challenge during Inova SENAI (National Industrial Learning Service), held at the end of November. The competition was part of the Grand Prix. The competition involved 50 teams, who had 20 hours to develop a prototype for the challenges proposed by Genyx and IBM.
Genyx Challenge
The challenge proposed by Genyx was to design the implementation of a renewable source infrastructure for electric vehicles with SolarEdge inverters. The first place was the Escuderia de São Paulo, followed by the Escuderia do Rio de Janeiro. The Escuderia de Minas Gerais came in third place. The winning project from Escudaria de SP proposed the commercialization of charging stations for electric cars based on Solar Edge technology as a premium segmentation of shopping malls, markets, condominiums and universities. Refueling would be done in places where customers have protected parking and stay for more than 30 minutes. The proposal’s difference lies in the leasing of inverters combined into three-year contracts, and their sale to the secondary market at the end of the contract term to disseminate the technology outside the premium market in the medium and long term. In addition to allowing cash flow predictability and customer loyalty to periodic maintenance and cleaning services in the short term. The proposal presented by Escuderia do Rio de Janeiro consists of a model that allows investors to choose plans that adapt to the KWh consumption of the residence. In the project, the owner of the residence contacts the company and schedules a technical visit to assess the viability of the location. After approval, the customer will choose the kit that meets their consumption profile and will make the initial investment for installation. Thirdly, the Escuderia de Minas Gerais project is based on the use of residential and commercial photovoltaic energy capture infrastructure. The supply would be done in commercial centers that have parking, such as shopping malls, pharmacies, supermarkets and universities. The idea is that the vehicle is refueled while it is parked in these locations. All projects presented at the SENAI event can be accessed clicking here.
