You would like to realise a solar power system (PV) and are confronted with the following questions:
- How big can or may my plant be?
- What power can be realised on my roof?
- What kind of modules are suitable?
- Should I use an electricity storage system, and if so, which one and what capacity makes sense?
- Do I need load management?
- Should I feed the electricity into the grid or is island operation more suitable?
- Which system components fit together?
- Which reputable providers are there?
- Which laws and legal aspects do I have to consider?
- What does the system cost and can I use subsidies?
Get in touch with us. Our greenUp team of energy planners and architects specialises in the planning and implementation of PV systems on and around buildings.
greenUP checklist PV system
The quickest way to clarify the suitability of your building for a PV or solar thermal system is to fill out the following small checklist (a Word file .docx) and send it to us. The checklist does not have to be completed in full. But the more information you send us, the better the yield forecast will be. If you need any help, just email us, call us or drop by our office after making an appointment. You will find the contact details at the bottom of this webpage.
Roof pitch and efficiency
The following illustration shows you the degrees of utilisation depending on the installation angle. Orientation to the east-west or on façade surfaces is now also quite economically interesting and cannot be ruled out per se.
With the free PV*SOL online software, you can simulate your PV system and create a yield forecast:

Photos in somewhat higher resolution of the building, the roof, the roof covering (tiles, green roof, etc.) and objects that shade the roof or the façade (chimneys, satellite dishes, trees, etc.) also help to create an accurate offer.
More accurate dimensions (height of the building, width/length of the roof facing the sun) Improve the accuracy of the forecast of how much electricity can be harvested with the PV modules. A greenUp offer also includes a calculation of the financial payback period, as well as a 3 D shading simulation.
