Photovoltaics
As a competent full-service provider, we plan, build, operate and market solar systems for housing associations, public clients, commercial and industrial customers – and we work with you to identify a suitable solution for your needs. Our offer for you includes services relating to roof-mounted solar systems, solar tenant electricity and ground-mounted solar systems.
Project development of open space solar systems
-
All services from a single source
thanks to many years of expertise in the ENGIE Group -
Helping to reduce project risks
through early entry of our specialists into project development -
Optimized procurement
through the expertise of a globally operating ENGIE Group purchasing network
Agricultural land, grassland and land adjacent to transport infrastructure can be suitable locations for photovoltaic systems. The planning and development of ground-mounted solar plants requires comprehensive and wide-ranging expertise - both in securing land and in the entire approval process as well as the selection of plant technology. Our experts at ENGIE have many years of expertise in all phases of the development of photovoltaic projects and are specialized in the operation of the plants and the marketing of the energy generated.
Leave your project to our professionals:
- As a strong partner with competencies across the entire value chain, we support your solar project over the entire life cycle – from construction through operation to marketing the electricity generated.
- We get involved in project development at an early stage and can achieve optimized conditions and support project risk management.
- You benefit for your project from the know-how and network of the ENGIE Group's renewable energy activities. With an international purchasing team based in China, among other places, we maintain established supplier relationships along the solar value chain to achieve support competitive procurement conditions and minimize procurement risks.
- Our trading experts take care of the marketing of electricity outside the EEG via direct marketing or via Green Power Purchase Agreements with terms of ten to 15 years.
We acquire suitable areas for your photovoltaic system and assess the technical, planning, economic and legal suitability. We then handle the drafting of contracts to secure the land and lease the land for long-term use of your photovoltaic project.
We enter projects at every stage of development. By getting involved at an early stage, we can potentially achieve optimized terms and help reduce financing and procurement risks. We rely on long-term partnerships and accompany the projects throughout the entire life cycle.
In addition to project cooperation, we also purchase project rights.
In cooperation with experienced external experts, our team of experts develops a comprehensive concept for your ground-mounted solar plant and check your project for all aspects relating to approval law. These include nature and species conservation as well as economic considerations such as grid connection and solar radiation.
Relevant stakeholders are involved at an early stage whenever feasible: We seek dialog with the responsible municipality at an early stage to promote transparency throughout the project. We support them on the basis of detailed planning in the preparation and implementation of a development plan and subsequently prepare the necessary expert opinions for the approval procedure. Once approval has been granted, we control and monitor the construction phase.
Biodiversity considerations in solar park development
In our solar projects, it is important to us that biodiversity is also considered from the beginning. Therefore, at the beginning of each project, we commission an expert to conduct an ecological mapping of the project area. With the help of the information obtained, we develop and implement site-specific measures for nature and species conservation.
On agricultural land, ground-mounted solar systems may contribute to biodiversity enhancement under certain site-specific conditions. To exploit this potential, we apply the criteria for nature-compatible ground-mounted photovoltaic systems from NABU and BSW.

towards employees and customers
Whether buildings, parking spaces or open spaces – large areas are suitable for the installation of high-performance photovoltaic systems. Self-generated solar energy ensures a decentralized and self-sufficient supply of cheap electricity from renewable sources. Modern battery storage systems make solar energy usable for you even when production fluctuates.
Did you know that photovoltaic energy can be perfectly combined with carports? These simply offer more free space for solar modules and at the same time create a shady parking space. And if your next company car is an electric car, it's easy to combine the carport with a charging station. In this way, you simultaneously create the basis for electric mobility powered by your own solar power. Best of all, solar carports are a real eye-catcher and showcase your own solar power generation to your employees, customers and the public.
In addition to the purchase of photovoltaic systems, contracting offers you an attractive alternative for getting started with solar energy. In a contracting partnership with ENGIE Deutschland, you benefit from cost-effective power generation from solar energy without having to invest yourself. As your contractor, we handle all tasks – from the planning and financing of the plant, to the construction and operation up to professional maintenance – and supply you with the required energy at plannable costs.
Your advantages of rooftop solar systems at a glance
- You become less dependent on fluctuating electricity prices.
- Photovoltaics replaces part of your property's grid electricity with your own solar power.
- With a photovoltaic system, you clearly show your employees and customers that you generate part of your electricity yourself from solar energy.
