SC Freiburg implemented world's large photovoltaic system on a stadium roof with Meyer Burger solar modules. What is claimed to be the world's large solar power plant on the roof of a soccer stadium is now being built in Freiburg in Southern Germany. Starting in May 2022, the energy contracting partner of SC Freiburg, badenovaWÄRMEPLUS, a subsidiary of the municipal utility company badenova, will iexecute the project with modules supplied by Swiss photovoltaic company Meyer Burger. When finished, the system will produce around 2.3 million kilowatt hours of solar energy annually from an area of 15,000 square meters on the roof of the Europa
Park stadium. The system, with a peak output of 2.4 megawatts, will cover the anticipated energy requirements of SC Freiburg in a CO2-neutral manner. Meyer Burger is supplying over 6,000 of its latest generation high-performance solar modules. The modules, sustainably manufactured in Germany, deliver significantly more energy yield from the same surface area than conventional solar modules. Meyer Burger was able to prevail over Asian manufacturers of standard solar modules with its attractive bundle of product benefits.
