Special feature: Preservation of the existing green roof without intervention
The SOLYCO SOLon vertical green roof solar system was installed on the roof of a bilingual school in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The aim was to generate solar power without impacting the existing green roof. It was a key criterion for the school community.
The decision to install the photovoltaic system was made jointly with parents, the school authority, and planners. Traditional elevated PV systems were ruled out due to shading and the impact on the roof's greenery.
SOLon enabled uniform irrigation, undisturbed plant growth, and at the same time economical power generation.

Kassel | Daycare center with 24.64 kWp vertical green roof solar system
A 24.64 kWp SOLon green roof photovoltaic system was installed on the green roof of a daycare center in Kassel.
Despite the wintry conditions, the project was implemented efficiently. The system's simple and quick assembly helped in this regard.
The daycare center now benefits from its own solar power, while the green roof fully retains its ecological function. Especially for social institutions, the combination of sustainability, safety, and cost-effectiveness is crucial.

Leonberg | Hardware store with 100 kWp vertical solar system
A 100 kWp green roof photovoltaic system was implemented for a hardware store in Leonberg using the SOLon system.
The project impressively demonstrates that even large commercial roofs with green roof requirements can be used economically for solar energy.
The vertical module mounting enables even load distribution, reduces wind attack surfaces and delivers a characteristic east-west yield curve and is optimized for self-consumption of electricity during the day of trading operations.
