Where sunlight meets growth: PV on a greenhouse
A greenhouse on the path to self-sufficiency
A garden centre is relying on solar power for its own energy needs and has installed 11.4 kWp on the glass roof of its greenhouse. The project was completed in just two months using novotegra standing seam clamps and the Solar-Planit planning tool.
Pfullingen, Germany
In tranquil Pfullingen in Baden-Württemberg, a special PV project was implemented on the roof of the Bayer garden nursery. The aim was to supply the business with its own solar power – in the future, a heat pump in the adjacent private house is also to be integrated.
11.4 kWp was installed on the glass roof of the greenhouse, with the modules installed upright. A technical feature was the attachment of the novotegra mounting system directly to the steel girders of the greenhouse using standing seam clamps – a solution that offers both stability and flexibility.
The entire project was planned using the free Solar-Planit tool, and it took just two months from the initial idea to the final implementation. It was an exciting and successful project for everyone involved, demonstrating how well sustainable energy generation can be integrated into existing structures.
