This Last Friday (11), in Paraná, the Largest Solar Power Plant in Carports – Covers Built Through Photovoltaic Panels for Parking Areas, Was Inaugurated by UFPR.

The solar power plant project, already installed, covers an area of more than 7,000 m² within the Polytechnic Campus in Curitiba/PR, the solar power plant project was carried out by UFPR, in conjunction with Copel, which is the Paraná Electric Company.

Investment for UFPR Solar Power Plant Reaches R$ 21 Million

According to the Coordinator of the Energy Efficiency Project at UFPR and Superintendent of Funpar, over R$ 20 million were invested just in R&D (Research and Development) in this action, which generally involves all the buildings of UFPR.

According to the coordinator, the solar power plant has a capacity of 1.2MW and over 55,000 LED lamps will still be installed in the buildings, thus bringing significant savings, amounting to R$ 2 million per year. In total, there are more than 2,300 panels over the 375 parking spaces of the biological sciences sector, in addition to more than 530 modules on the roofs of the engineering and electrical buildings.

Redmi K Pad 2 debuts as the world’s first tablet with Bose sound, featuring an 8.8″ OLED display with 165 Hz, a 9,100 mAh battery, a vapor chamber of 15,300 mm², and a 540 Hz touch response for extreme gaming.

Hairdresser with days numbered: Xiaomi comes up with a smart hair clipper that allows for haircuts at home even in the shower, featuring 19 settings, 2 speeds, a 3-hour battery, and a professional kit with titanium blades.

Argentina steps on the accelerator to become a power with a $20 billion agreement, immediate release of $1 billion, reserves above $5.5 billion, and a decrease in poverty to 28.2%.

Goodbye to the traditional outlet: new technology arrives in homes promising to cut invisible waste, consume only 0.5 to 1.5 watts in standby, monitor consumption in kWh in real time, and automate devices that weigh most on the electricity bill.
