SUNNY PERSPECTIVES FOR YOUR OUTDOOR AREA!

Since 1998, our young and ambitious team has been leading photovoltaic projects to success - nationally and internationally. Competence, experience and passion make us a strong partner for property owners, municipalities and the general public in all questions relating to project planning, construction and operation of photovoltaic ground-mounted systems.

At the end of 2019, open-air photovoltaic systems in Germany occupied a total of over 30,000 hectares. Of this, almost 26 percent were arable land and 14 percent were marginal strips on traffic routes, some of which can be assigned to arable land.

According to the EEG 2017, photovoltaic systems are only eligible for funding in a corresponding area. Photovoltaics is currently being promoted in five federal states on arable land (in disadvantaged areas). We help property owners to make the best possible use of their area.

A quarter of the photovoltaic capacity installed in Germany is made up of ground-mounted systems. The area required for one megawatt of open space photovoltaics is steadily decreasing: in 2006, 4.1 hectares per megawatt were required, in 2019 it was only 1.2 hectares per megawatt. 


This is due, among other things, to the continuous increase in the performance of the modules. This development makes photovoltaic projects attractive for more and more municipalities.

The arguments for photovoltaic systems are manifold. In Germany, the systems amortize in terms of energy already after one to two years. Conventional energy generation systems with fossil fuels, on the other hand, never amortize energetically, because more and more energy in the form of fuels has to be used in operation than is obtained in terms of useful energy.

With regard to CO2 emissions, the net avoidance factor for photovoltaics is currently 627 grams of CO2 equivalents per kWh.
