The reliable partner in your solar project

Sustainable power generation of the future – photovoltaic systems

At times of energy revolution, regenerative energy sources provide great potential. The expansion of solar plants, in particular, creates sustainable and cheap electricity source, which can generate additional income.
As a landowner, you have an opportunity to actively support us at MEC Energy, a company of the MEC Group, during the energy revolution and benefit financially.

As a company of the MEC Group, MEC Energy is the specialist in project development in the renewable energy sector with focus on standalone as well as rooftop PV systems. The company combines experience in the consultancy sector with many years of expertise in project development in the energy sector.

MEC Energy supports energy projects from planning via approvals to implementation. In addition, the company supports landowners in realising a long-term passive income.

Standalone photovoltaic system

Standalone photovoltaic systems are a widespread and efficient method of the solar power generation. Optimal alignment of the solar modules achieves an ideal irradiation angle. The size of the solar park may vary from approximately one hectare to more than 100 hectares. Standalone photovoltaic systems may be implemented either with or without state subsidy. Where state subsidy is desired, the spaces are limited to specific types of land, such as special plots, conversion plots, and plots near motorways or railways subsidised by EEC funding.

Floating-
Solar

Floating solar systems on water surfaces – Unused waters are becoming increasingly more attractive for the installation of photovoltaic systems. The power output of a floating PV system is up to 15% higher than that of a standalone system. This is due to the continuous cooling effect of the water and the additional water reflection. At the same time, evaporation and the formation of algae are minimised. Whether natural, artificial, or previously used areas of water, the potential for floating solar is enormous and is waiting to be exploited.

Agrivoltaic

Hybrid use of agricultural open spaces – as a farmer, you may also use your cultivated areas for the generation of solar power. The agrivoltaic process facilitates hybrid use of the space. Here, raised solar modules are used instead of the conventional photovoltaic modules close to the ground. In this way, the area below and next to the PV systems can be efficiently used for cultivation. Agri-PV system also provides protection against storm damage to seedlings and animals.

Photovoltaic systems on car park areas

The federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg have already introduced the mandatory installation of photovoltaic systems for new car parks of commercial premises. Schleswig-Holstein and Rhineland-Palatinate also intend to introduce the mandatory installation of photovoltaic systems for new car parks in the near future. Whether newly built or an existing car park, roofing of the car park with a photovoltaic system is an ideal solution for the additional generation of environmentally-friendly solar energy.

Your benefits in leasing out a free plot or water surface

  • Above-average lease income for 30 years

  • Passive income from leasing out your plot

  • No effort – managed entirely by MEC Energy

  • Hybrid use of your agricultural land

  • Contribution to the energy revolution and climate protection

  • Positive biotope effects for intensely used farmland
