With the increasing and efficient use of solar energy, all sorts of alternatives are being discussed and examined. Is a ground-mounted photovoltaic system on a gravel pit or a former landfill? Are plots of land next to a highway or railway tracks suitable?

Do you own a property and don't know how to use it economically?

The more sealed the surface, the more ideal it is for ground-mounted photovoltaic systems . The less agricultural land is suitable for ecological purposes (low yield), the more suitable a ground-mounted solar system becomes. Incidentally, there are also interesting combinations of agrivoltaics and photovoltaics that are applicable to both ecological and photovoltaic applications without negatively impacting natural resources.

Soil points are crucial . They are a key indicator for assessing soil quality. As early as 1934, soil and arable land quality were officially recorded in the 'German Soil Map' ( DGK 5 Bo Reich Soil Assessment . Each federal state regulates independently which areas are suitable for agriculture and at what soil point score an area can no longer be approved for the construction of a solar park .

Sensible use of already sealed surfaces or properties

Existing sealed surfaces typically already serve a purpose for which they were originally constructed. Examples include company buildings, warehouses, production facilities, and company parking lots. Photovoltaics can profitably expand their function as an additional source of revenue or utilize them as an autonomous power supply to gain a competitive edge. This addresses the anticipated higher costs associated with environmental regulations, peak load management (infrastructure and grid stability), and CO2 emissions.

The CO2 balance, also called greenhouse gas balance or CO2 footprint, will gain more decisive influence in the future if it is subject to tax and cost-related surcharges in the CO2 labeling of goods and services.

Suitable for:

• CO2 neutrality with photovoltaics – Learning from Amazon Logistics
• Solar carports: Company parking lots – sensible use of sealed surfaces

By 2050, Europe aims to become the world's first climate-neutral continent. This presents major challenges for local industry. "The climate law is the centerpiece of the Green Deal . It offers planning certainty and transparency for industry and investors in Europe, and it sets the course for our green growth strategy." Numerous companies in intralogistics, logistics, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing are already working on autonomous power supply.

With Xpert.Solar, we offer consulting services for companies planning a photovoltaic solar open-field system or solar field .

What are your advantages?

• A personal contact person with individual advice. This also applies to on-site consultations and site visits.
• We bring them together with long-standing solar experts and manufacturers in the industry.
• This saves you time searching for suitable experts.
• The consultation services are non-binding for you!

• All services tailored to your wishes.
• As consultants and solution providers, we are available to answer all your questions and help with any problems you may have.

• They have the projects and the space, we have the solutions. From mounting systems to energy storage and inverters, right through to the modules.
• Should something not be suitable, we will develop project-specific special solutions for you.

• If you wish, we can organize your photovoltaic projects and the construction site for you. This includes pile driving, frame or module installation, DC/AC installation, and renovations.
• As your partner, we support you in planning module layout, calculating shading, planning and occupancy of strings, as well as in creating plans and drawings.
• We help and support you with everything from soil surveys to planning and structural calculations.

• Safety is our top priority. Comprehensive service is equally important. We can provide a wide range of services, including soil surveys, structural analysis for projects, snow load assessments, acceptance tests, and damage reports.
• Increasingly important: the safety and security of your solar power system. We can create a security concept for you if required.

• We make your life a little easier and give you back time.
• We will help and support you in your work.
• We combine quality with effectiveness.
