International. The company specialized in elevators Zardoya Otis, presented a new model of elevator that does not need the electrical network for its operation: the Otis GeN2 Solar Switch. This elevator generates the same energy it consumes, being connected to solar photovoltaic panels, so the savings in the electricity bill is one hundred percent.
According to the company, the Otis GeN2 Switch Solar works with completely clean energy, produced by photovoltaic solar panels connected to the elevator, which provide the energy it needs for its operation. Thanks to its accumulator system, the elevator also stores the energy it generates when it goes down loaded or goes up empty, so its autonomy on the electricity grid is total.
However, in case there are long periods of time without sufficient level of sunlight, the elevator can also operate with a single-phase current of 220V, available in any type of building.
In addition to the above, this elevator reduces the wear of the elevator compared to a conventional model because it has flat steel tapes coated with polyurethane that do not need slotted pulleys, reducing wear and increasing durability.
