SOLON Energy GmbH has just finished constructing a 1.6 MW photovoltaic system on behalf of Berliner Energieagentur, located on the rooftops of the Berliner Großmarkt wholesale market.

Berlin’s environment minister, Michael Müller, symbolically put the power plant into operation. Installed atop a surface of just under 40,000 square meters, Berlin’s largest roof-mounted system generates approximately 1,400 megawatt hours of solar power per year, meeting the average demand of about 600 households while saving 850 tons of CO2 emissions. Berliner Energieagentur contracted and financed the project, and is also overtaking system operation.

SOLON placed 5,540 solar modules “made in Germany” on top of the wholesale market, using three systems especially manufactured and customized for commercial roofs, which are particularly lightweight and have a low impact on the roof’s surface.
