\n

With an innovative energy concept, Solation is setting new standards in supplying commercial properties with locally generated solar power. Founded in 2023, the company has installed a solar power plant on a rented warehouse belonging to the technology group Knorr-Bremse. Cleantech companies<\/a> A photovoltaic system with a peak output of 55.9 kilowatts was installed. The company consumes over 73 percent of the electricity generated directly on-site \u2013 emission-free and without redirecting it to the public grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is made possible by a new model of shared building supply. The landlord\u2014in this case, Wohnungs-Treuhand GmbH, headed by Dr. Holzm\u00fcller\u2014passes on the solar power generated directly to the building's tenants. For Knorr-Bremse, this means significantly reduced energy costs, greater planning security, and a further step toward sustainable industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solation offers scalable solution for urban commercial locations <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the trade publication PV Magazine, Solation is considered the first provider of a shared building supply in the commercial sector. Until now, the tenant electricity model was primarily limited to private residential buildings. Solation demonstrates that the principle can also be applied to inner-city commercial properties. Until now, the sector was considered difficult to develop due to its complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"Industry doesn't need subsidies \u2013 but direct solutions. Solar power from your own roof is exactly that,"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

explained Sebastian Hugl<\/strong>, Managing Director of Solation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heart of the concept is a patented control technology<\/a>, which functions as a virtual storage system. This allows up to 80 percent of the solar power generated to be used directly in the building \u2013 without any physical battery storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhile others rely on large logistics roofs, we make the small-scale, inner-city energy transition scalable,\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

so Hugl<\/strong> further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only recent legal clarifications have made this model possible in this form: Because the electricity doesn't flow through the public grid, grid fees and additional surcharges are eliminated. This significantly reduces operating costs \u2013 a key advantage for energy-intensive companies like Knorr-Bremse.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
