Electricity from the sun

Large-scale photovoltaic systems on open land transform previously unused areas into valuable sources of energy. Agricultural land can be put to dual use – for growing food and, at the same time, for generating energy. It is up to us to make the best possible and sustainable use of the land we have. Get in touch with us!

We develop and implement solutions for you that combine economic efficiency with environmental awareness.

Large-scale solutions

Mit der Errichtung von Freiflächen-Photovoltaikanlagen leisten Sie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Energiewende. Sonnenlicht wird in Strom umgewandelt – emissionsfrei und leise. Photovoltaik denken wir grundsätzlich immer mit Stromspeicher zusammen, um die gewonnene Energie möglichst effizient in das Stromnetz abgeben zu können.

 

Welche Flächen eignen sich?
Für die Errichtung von FFPV-Anlagen eignen sich insbesondere Flächen in landwirtschaftlich benachteiligten Gebieten, Flächen entlang von Autobahnen und Schienenwegen sowie Konversionsflächen. Stark verschattete Flächen sowie Nordhänge sind ertragsärmer und somit zu vermeiden. In Schutzgebieten des Naturschutzes, z.B. Nationalparks und Naturschutzgebiete, ist FFPV in der Regel unzulässig.

By installing ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, you are making a significant contribution to the energy transition. Sunlight is converted into electricity – emission-free and silently. We always consider photovoltaic systems in conjunction with energy storage solutions, so that the energy generated can be fed into the grid as efficiently as possible.

Which sites are suitable?
Sites in agriculturally disadvantaged areas, along motorways and railway lines, and on brownfield sites are particularly suitable for the installation of FFPV systems. Heavily shaded areas and north-facing slopes yield lower returns and should therefore be avoided. FFPV is generally not permitted in nature conservation areas, such as national parks and nature reserves.

So-called agri-PV systems allow agricultural land to be used for two purposes – for growing food and, at the same time, for generating energy. This creates an innovative synergy between securing crop yields, conserving resources and generating energy, which combines economic viability and sustainability in the long term.

Which sites are suitable?
Virtually all land used for agricultural purposes is suitable for agri-PV, including arable land, land with permanent crops and grassland. However, bogs and bog soils of high conservation value within statutory protected areas are excluded from use. Sites with a steep gradient are also generally unsuitable for agri-PV.

Project Process and Services

Before photovoltaic systems can be installed, several steps are required, ranging from site selection and planning permission procedures to grid connection. We are always on hand to support you through every stage of the project:

Site assessment and land acquisition

Our team assesses and identifies suitable sites for agricultural and open-space installations. In doing so, we take into account key data from geographical, planning, technical and commercial perspectives.

Once suitable sites have been selected, we contact the landowners and the local authority to conclude land-use agreements.

Planning and approval

We liaise with the relevant authorities and arrange for all necessary expert reports and surveys. We manage the entire process of regional planning and urban land-use planning right through to the granting of planning permission.

Financing

We work with leading financial institutions to develop a financing plan.

Installation and commissioning

Our team plans, coordinates and supervises the construction work right through to commissioning. In parallel with commissioning, we organise the connection to the public electricity grid.

Business management

Once the plant is up and running, we offer services in the areas of commercial and technical operations management. We are on hand to advise you throughout the plant’s entire service life.
