Renewable energies are gaining more and more importance in our society. Spain is working to position itself at the forefront of this revolution thanks to the involvement of public and private companies. In this article, we analyze the five most ambitious projects at the national level and highlight the role of precision laser cutting.

1. Near-zero consumption homes

This type of home stands out for being an advanced version of the passive house concept, as they require almost no external consumption. It is being developed in Madrid and is approaching 90% efficiency.

Laser cutting has been used to profile the wooden and methacrylate models that allowed the idea to be conceived. In turn, in the construction process itself, it is usually necessary to create large pieces or products. Without this technique, this task would be much more difficult. 2. Photovoltaic energy storage

Un proyecto en Valladolid está planteando la manera de almacenar el excedente de energía solar para agua caliente sanitaria o saneamiento.

A project in Valladolid is considering how to store surplus solar energy for domestic hot water or sanitation. De este modo, podemos retirar la capa dieléctrica e incorporar una película de aluminio. Laser cutting intervenes in the most important element of the entire system: the solar panels. In this way, we can remove the dielectric layer and incorporate an aluminum film. This enhances ohmic contact and generation speed. The cutting method we use allows these properties to be strengthened thanks to its millimeter precision. 3. Generation of “green hydrogen”

Instead of generating hydrogen through fossil fuels, it is about doing it through water.

Thanks to laser cutting companies, it is possible to speed up the electrolysis process by perfecting the manufacture of machinery. This contributes to cost reduction and, therefore, to greater expansion of the system.4. Biomass heat networks

Spain is leading the biomass revolution through heat networks. Currently, 75% of these facilities have dispensed with fossil fuels to use biomass.

Industries constantly use lasers to manufacture biomass exploitation devices. As this technique achieves unmatched precision, the energy efficiency of the devices is even greater. It should not be forgotten that part of the machinery consists of tiny pieces that can only be manufactured accurately thanks to this advance.5. Renewable and mobile energy generation

One of the most ambitious projects materializes in a device that can generate energy autonomously. In the future, it will be able to be transported to areas that have suffered natural disasters or with energy shortages.

Manufacturers resort to this type of cutting to conceive the wind tower in detail. Mixed systems are frequently used to manufacture the internal structure and model the tubes and sheets. If each piece does not have the desired shape and thickness, it could not perform such an exact function.

In short, our sector has consolidated as indispensable in the implementation of renewable energies. At LaserNorte, we are an ally for companies that want to contribute to the ecological transition in our country. We specialize in the production of on-demand parts, with perfect traceability and a tailored service.
