Vertical photovoltaic system (agri-PV) and parking lot PV (solar parking lot system) at Gebr. Schwarz GmbH in Rottweil-Neukirch

🌿 The integration of renewable energies into company processes is playing an increasingly important role in the context of environmental protection and sustainability. An exemplary example of such an initiative and corporate strategy is Gebr. Schwarz GmbH in Rottweil-Neukirch, which is characterized by the installation of a vertically mounted photovoltaic system (PV system) and a PV parking lot roof.

🌞 The vertical PV system offers an innovative solution for using the green spaces around the company building. This type of system makes it possible to generate solar energy without significantly affecting the land surface, thereby preserving biodiversity. Vertically mounted systems can be an effective option for using renewable energies, especially for unused green spaces or in urban areas where space is limited.

🅿️ Furthermore, Gebr. Schwarz GmbH, in collaboration with Rudolf Hörmann GmbH & Co. KG, installed a parking lot roof with integrated PV modules. This so-called “solar parking lot system” converts the otherwise unused parking spaces into energy production areas. The roof not only protects the vehicles from the weather, but also contributes to energy production.

🏭 Gebr. Schwarz GmbH, founded in 1966, is a state-of-the-art plastics and tool technology company with 220 employees. By using photovoltaic systems, the company shows a clear commitment to ecological responsibility and technological progress.

🔌 The holistic approach to the project, from initial consultation to completion, demonstrates the commitment and expertise of the companies involved. They show what well-thought-out planning and implementation of renewable energies in industry can look like.

🌎 Installing PV modules on unused areas is a pioneering step that, in addition to saving energy, also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions. Companies like Gebr. Schwarz GmbH are making an important contribution to climate protection and the energy transition. Such projects send a positive message and can serve as a model for other companies considering similar measures.

☀️ The use of photovoltaic systems, be it in vertical construction or as a roof for parking spaces, represents a sensible investment in a sustainable future. They enable companies to reduce their energy costs, improve their carbon footprint and at the same time make an active contribution to contribute to environmental protection.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems have evolved from an alternative energy source to a major player in energy production. Such innovations play a crucial role in the energy transition, which is about making the transition to a more sustainable energy supply. In particular, integrating PV canopies with charging options for electric vehicles (EVs) is a progressive concept that has become increasingly popular in recent years. This technology is also reflected in the Gebr. Schwarz GmbH project.

🏢 The multifunctionality of PV roofing

The PV roofing from Gebr. Schwarz GmbH is more than just a means of generating electricity. It is an example of how a company takes responsibility for environmental protection by maximizing energy efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions while providing practical benefits for employees by protecting their vehicles from the elements.

🌿 Energy efficiency and environmental protection

The installation of the 222 kWp PV system by Rudolf Hörmann GmbH & Co. KG is an excellent example of sustainable construction. The combination of PV modules and a clever roof construction forms an ecosystem that not only generates electricity, but also contributes to the aesthetic quality of the company premises. The energy generated is used efficiently as it is fed into the internal network through SMA brand inverters, reducing the company's dependence on external energy sources.

🚗 Comfort for employees

A key aspect of PV roofing is the comfort it offers employees. By installing wall boxes under the canopy, employees can charge their electric vehicles during working hours. This not only promotes the use of environmentally friendly electric vehicles, but also increases the company's attractiveness as an employer.

☀️ Additional energy generation through vertical PV systems

In addition to the roofing, the company also uses unused areas around the company building by setting up vertical PV systems. These systems are particularly space-saving and enable constant energy production throughout the day because they are oriented east-west. They are robustly constructed and use bifacial glass-glass PV modules that can absorb light on both sides, further increasing efficiency.

🌍 Future prospects and significance

Such initiatives are of great importance for the future of energy production and for achieving global climate goals. Companies that use such technologies not only position themselves as pioneers in environmental protection, but also save costs in the long term.

The PV roofing can also be used in other areas. Parking lots, sports facilities and even residential buildings can benefit from this technology. The ability to charge EVs while parked is an attractive solution to the “range anxiety” problem that deters many potential EV owners.

🔌 Challenges and opportunities

Implementing PV canopies and charging systems is not without challenges. The initial investment can be significant for some companies. However, this can be offset by government subsidies, reduced energy costs and possibly even revenue from the sale of excess electricity to the public grid.

Another challenge is the technical integration of the systems into the company's existing energy supply network. It is important here that the systems are compatible and that the electricity is fed in smoothly.

🔋 Technology potential

The photovoltaic roofing with integrated charging options at Gebr. Schwarz GmbH is a pioneering project that shows how companies can actively contribute to environmental protection and at the same time create advantages for their employees and their business economy. This technology has the potential to become more widespread and have a significant impact on reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources.
