German system integrator Badenova has inaugurated the primary PV roof for the cycle path in Germany. The 287 kW set up is positioned in Freiburg, within the southern a part of the nation, and relies on 900 translucent glass-glass photo voltaic modules equipped by German panel maker Solarwatt.
The collection modules have a basic technical approval from the German Institute for Constructing Know-how (DIBt). Subsequently they’re thought-about a regulated development product that can be utilized with out restriction within the non-public and public sector. Photo voltaic modules will also be used for overhead and facade installations with out particular person checks and extra safety measures.
The photo voltaic array is 300 m lengthy and is positioned close to the SC Freiburg soccer stadium, which is already geared up with a PV system utilizing heterojunction modules equipped by Switzerland-based Meyer Burger.
Badenova’s Badenova Wärme Plus subsidiary collaborated with the town of Freiburg and the Fraunhofer Institute for Photo voltaic Vitality Techniques ISE to construct the cycle path. The Freiburg-based firm Clickcon offers the amplifying constructions.
The vitality generated by the ability – about 280 MWh per yr – will primarily be used within the laboratories and buildings of Fraunhofer ISE. The Freiburg Institute can be the lessee and operator of the ability and is answerable for monitoring.
“We have to rethink photovoltaics so we will combine extra initiatives of this kind into the cityscape. This pilot mission reveals how city areas can be utilized twice,” stated Heinz-Werner Hölscher, a member of the Badenova board.
