A Profitable and Sustainable Investment
Solar parks are an essential component of the energy transition. They combine ecological sustainability with economic opportunities – and continuous technological advances in the solar industry make them increasingly attractive.
What is a Solar Park?
A solar park (also called a solar power plant) is a large-scale facility for converting solar energy into electrical power using photovoltaic modules. Typically, underutilized open spaces with sufficient solar irradiation are used.
Minimum Requirements
For economic viability, the following are generally required:
- Minimum capacity: approx. 3 MW
- Minimum area: approx. 3 hectares
- Orientation: Optimally south to southwest
- Grid connection: Sufficient capacity in the local power grid
Efficiency and Yield
The efficiency of modern solar modules averages 15 to 22%, but varies depending on:
- Module types used
- Location and solar irradiation
- Orientation and tilt
- Maintenance condition
Yield Forecast
With modern modules, a yield of 800 to 1,200 kilowatt-hours per installed kilowatt-peak can be achieved. For a 1 MW system, this corresponds to 800,000 to 1,200,000 kWh annually.
Planning Steps for a Solar Park
1. Site Selection
- Assessment of solar irradiation
- Evaluation of area size and topography
- Analysis of grid connection options
- Clarification of planning law requirements
2. Cost Planning
- Modules and inverters
- Mounting system and cabling
- Grid connection
- Permitting costs
- Operating costs and maintenance
3. Permitting
- Building application according to state requirements
- Environmental impact assessment if required
- Feed-in approval from the grid operator
4. Funding
- EEG compensation for solar energy
- Government funding programs
- Regional subsidies
Success Factors
| Factor | Significance |
