Seven good reasons in favour of photovoltaic solar parks

1. CO2-free electricity production
Solar power is the ultimate form of renewable energy. Sunlight is directly converted into electricity. Compared to the conventional electricity mix, each kilowatt hour produced releases around 0.6 kg of CO2 emissions less into the atmosphere.

2. Self-sufficiency in electricity production
Nowadays, the energy supply in many countries depends to a large extent on imports. Solar parks contribute towards moving added value away from the crisis-hit regions of the world and into the local area.

3. An ideal size for the network of the future
Solar parks encourage the expansion of regional electricity supply facilities by locally producing feed-in quantities which represent a significant “controllable variable” for the network management of the future (renewable-energy combi power stations).

4. A sustainable energy supply
Remaining supplies of fossil fuels are sufficient to cover only the next few decades. Given the climate crisis, we have no choice but to make a rapid switch to a CO2-neutral energy supply. Solar parks are driving this inevitable development forward.

5. Facilities designed to optimise yield
The PV modules in a solar park can be aimed towards the sun in a way which is not possible anywhere else. As a result of economies of scale and accessibility, solar parks also represent the most economical option as regards planning and construction.

6. The most efficient way of using space
Solar power is the ultimate form of renewable energy. Sunlight is directly converted into electricity with no additional steps required. 20 - 30 times less space is required compared to when electricity is produced using biogas.

7. Solar electricity from solar parks is less expensive
The economic viability of the solar electricity produced in solar parks is reflected in the lower payments on offer. Higher costs for the electricity customer are incurred when solar electricity is produced on the roof or facade of a building.
