The new logistics center of the Danish logistics company DSV is home to what is currently probably the world’s largest PV rooftop system. This was announced by Ernst Schweizer AG, which supplied the mounting system for it. The ballasted mounting system, »MSP-FR east-west,« was used. It is an aerodynamically optimized solution that does not require roof penetration.
The Danish contractor SolarFuture ApS installed a total of 78,000 solar modules on an area of over 300,000 square meters. The plant in Horsens, Denmark has an installed capacity of 35 megawatts (MW) and is expected to produce 33.15 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity annually. According to Ernst Schweizer, the logistics center can now cover its own energy needs completely and operate 140 electric vehicle charging stations on site.
»This project impressively demonstrates how industrial roof areas can become a driving force behind the energy transition,« said Gunnar Johansson, Head of Solar at Ernst Schweizer AG.
