Meyer Burger supplies over 6,000 high-performance modules 'Made in Germany' for SC Freiburg's Europa Park stadium The solar installation will produce around 2.3 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and thus cover the annual electricity requirements of the German Bundesliga soccer team in a climate-neutral manner The project proves that Meyer Burger's high-performance modules, sustainably manufactured in Germany, are also an attractive product for large-scale installations.
"We are very pleased to implement this lighthouse project together with badenovaWÄRMEPLUS for SC Freiburg. This clearly puts us in the photovoltaic Champions League," says Moritz Borgmann, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at Meyer Burger. The construction of the state-of-the-art solar power plant demonstrates that energy transition, climate protection, sustainability and top-tier sports go together, says Borgmann. This is because stadiums are particularly suitable for sustainable, decentralized energy generation from solar energy due to their large shadow-free areas. "Solar energy offers a lot of potential to reduce emissions using already built-up areas, to become climate-neutral and to give climate protection more drive with a forward-looking technology - not only for soccer clubs," explains Borgmann.
Meyer Burger places particular emphasis on sustainable production. Meyer Burger is the only manufacturer to produce not only solar modules, but also the technological core of the module, the solar cells, exclusively in Germany at locations in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. Moritz Borgmann: "We deliberately focus on premium quality made in Germany, designed in Switzerland. Our products are produced with 100 percent renewable energy and in accordance with the highest social and environmental standards. For example, we fully avoid toxic lead in the modules and prefer to work with local manufacturers and suppliers - this saves on logistics, delivery times and, above all, emissions."
More information about the project will be available on our website www.meyerburger.com soon.
