Zam Energy develops distributed commercial and institutional carport solar energy facilities integrated with smart grid intelligence.
Zam Energy is one of the few solar companies positioned as a solar carport developer, integrated with energy smart software to dynamically shape building load.
11. Off-Grid Solar Pole Solar Panel (also used as photocell) Luminaire Control Board Charge Controller Batteries Motion Sensors
12. How the off-grid pole works 1. Solar energy is collected by the solar panel 2. Maximum energy is transferred to the batteries via Charge Controller 3. LED luminaire uses power from batteries at night 4. Patented Control Board manages system interactions. Reduces energy use and, most importantly, preserves battery and other component life.
14. How does it work? 1. Solar energy is collected by the solar panel 2. The DC energy is converted to AC power by the micro-inverter 3. The AC power is then pushed onto the electrical grid 4. LED luminaire uses grid power at night
15. Product Features * Lead-acid Batteries excluded. Off-Grid Lighting On-Grid Lighting Used where a grid connection is expensive and/or difficult to access. Used where a grid connection is readily available and where power can be net-metered (or equivalent).

20. Zam Smart Energy Services offer significant cost savings – 20% Detailed consumption measurement Energy strategy development Demand management solutions ZAM Energy
21. We take a holistic approach to enterprise power management Integrated hardware/software solution using Local Electricity Network (LEN). Control of heavy-load users like HVAC or production line machines to appliances as small as a utility circuit board, distributed generators, or a light switch. ZAM Energy
22. Zam Energy (ZAM) helps shape the energy demand load of buildings by combing renewable energy supply, electric vehicle charging and energy storage with energy smart software. ZAM Energy
The PV modules are mounted in Unirac Sun Frames supported on single column galvanized steel structures with integrated up-lighting and poured concrete bases secured in “bio-swale” trenches. Storm water runoff enters curb gaps, flows into the bio-swales through organic and in-organic material filtration yielding clean water at the point of discharge.
The up-lighting illuminates the modules’ white TedlarTM backing providing enhanced security and distilled radiance at night. In these ways the project addresses numerous environmental issues (heat island effect, dark skies initiative, carbon offset), provides additional LEED points for the owner and offers a visible commitment to the environment.
