Whether it's Borrentin in northern Germany or Project W in England, we're always reporting on our latest construction sites and commissioned projects on here. But with so many projects, it's impossible to keep you up to date on all the exciting solar plants we work on every day.

That's why today we've put together the most important facts about five interesting PV systems that have been commissioned in recent months or are about to be.

From Germany to the Netherlands and England – make sure to click through!

How is it that PV systems cover huge areas without sealing the soil? In today's Solar ABC, we clarify this and other questions by taking a closer look at the substructure of our solar farms. 💡⠀
⠀
🔴 S for substructure⠀
⠀
The substructure of a solar farm forms the basis for PV modules. The modules are elevated and mounted on it. As already explained in a previous post, there are fixed-tilt substructures as well as substructures that follow the flow of the sun (“solar trackers”). The substructure is anchored in the ground using special pile driving so that the ground is only affected at certain points and not over the entire surface. 💪

Did you know?

The illuminance of the sun is around 100,000 lux, whereas that of a full moon is only 0.2 lux. This means that the light flux which the sun sends to earth is several hundred thousand times stronger than that of the moon. Therefore, even with very efficient technology, it is unfortunately not possible to generate energy from PV systems during an eerie full moon.

Nevertheless, we wish all spooky ghosts, little witches, and werewolves a spooky Halloween night! Boooooo! 👻

Storage systems are indispensable for the success of the energy transition. That is why we support our customers not only in the field of photovoltaics, but also as a general contractor in the engineering and procurement of battery storage solutions.

Depending on the business case, we offer the following to our customers:

☀️ Solar farms: The development, construction, and operation of large-scale PV plants is our core business.

🔋Stand-alone battery storage systems: In addition to stand-alone solar farms, we also focus on stand-alone battery projects.

☀️🔋Co-located projects: Integrating a storage solution designed for the individual business case into the overall PV system is also no problem for us.

Which of these variants can we help you with? 🙋‍♂️

PPAs, kurz für Power Purchase Agreements, gewinnen für Freiflächen-Photovoltaikanlagen immer mehr an Bedeutung. Deshalb klären wir heute die Frage, was ein PPA eigentlich ist. 💡

PPAs, short for Power Purchase Agreements, are becoming increasingly important for ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. That is why today, we are answering the question of what a PPA actually is. 💡

🔴 P for Power Purchase Agreement
A Power Purchase Agreement is a contract for the supply of electricity. It is concluded between an electricity producer and an electricity consumer and includes conditions such as the negotiated prices or the volume of electricity to be supplied. In Germany, for example, PPAs enable the operation of solar farms without subsidies under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG).

Did you know?

According to the German Environment Agency, around 95,000 hectares of land are needed across Germany to achieve the expansion targets set for photovoltaics by 2030. This corresponds to just 0.3 % of the total area of Germany, which is 35.8 million hectares.

Last week in Warsaw, our Polish team signed a cooperation agreement with the Polish project developer Rawicom Consulting Services Sp. z o.o., which is part of Rawicom Group. Rawicom is currently developing systems with a total capacity of more than 3.5 GW. The contract was signed by Karol Chylinski (CEO of Rawicom Consulting Services) and Jaroslaw Smialek (Senior Director Project Development at BELECTRIC).

The cooperation between BELECTRIC and Rawicom will focus on the development of photovoltaic projects in Poland and the associated project rights.

We are already looking forward to taking the next steps together on the Polish market! 🤩

Three eventful days at the largest trade fair for renewable energies in the UK lie behind #teambelectric.

🤝🏻 It was a pleasure to make new contacts and have interesting conversations about #solarpower.

🛠  One of the highlights were the speaking involvements by our colleagues Brett and Louis on the topics of ‘Ehancing O&M’ and ‘Solar and (Co-Located) Storage: The Business Case Deep Dive’.

🌳 As a symbol of our strong partnership, we presented some business partners with certificates for tree sponsorships.

Special thanks to everyone who visited us at the stand. We hope we were able to sweeten your day with our cookies & fresh fruit. 🍪

We are already looking forward to next year! ☀️

We have several reasons to celebrate: 5 GW of installed solar capacity worldwide, including 1 GW in Germany. That's amazing! But what makes us such a strong partner for our customers? Our long-standing employees say this:

1. 📣 „We have over 23 years of experience as experts in the construction of all types of solar farms.“ (Thilo)
2. 📣 “At BELECTRIC, we offer high-quality engineering from module to grid connection.” (Stephan)
3. 📣 "Two important characteristics of BELECTRIC are expertise and constant customer focus." (Julia)
4. 📣 “Our comprehensive operations and maintenance services ensure the long-lasting and efficient utilisation of our customers' investments.” (Philipp)
5. 📣 "We always focus on our customers. The collaboration is trusting, solution-orientated, and pragmatic." (Danny)

With the commissioning of a solar farm in Germany and a battery storage system in the UK, we have cracked two gigawatt marks! The almost 520 plants we have constructed worldwide add up to a total installed capacity of over five gigawatts. In our home market of Germany, we are also one of the first companies to install photovoltaic systems ☀️ with a total output of more than one gigawatt. This corresponds to a total area of around 1,400 football pitches with today's technology, or roughly the output of the largest conventional large-scale power plants.

Dr Thorsten Blanke, Managing Director of BELECTRIC, comments: “The outlook for the current and upcoming year also confirms BELECTRIC as a reliable and experienced partner: we are currently constructing solar farms with a total capacity of around one gigawatt and have a large project pipeline ahead of us. We look forward to making them a reality together with our employees, who now number almost 600.” 👥👏
