Sunny future: Hanover Airport tests photovoltaics on the site

At the Hannover Airport, an important project has started that symbolizes both ecological and technological progress. In cooperation with the energy service provider Enercity, a previously unused area of ​​the airport in the area around the Nordbahn is opened up for the use of solar technology. This represents an important step towards sustainable energy generation.

The test phase of the solar system is carried out over a period of three years. During this time, the first systems that have now been put into operation were already installed. The area used for the test extends over 1,250 square meters and the installed capacity of the solar system is around 120 kilowatts. Such systems not only contribute to more environmentally friendly energy supply, but also help to save significant amounts of carbon dioxide - in this case more than 43 tons.

Details on the pilot project

The testing includes various substructure variants to find out how plant growth can develop among the solar modules. This could provide important findings for future environmentally friendly projects. It is planned to map the area within the airport's security area regularly in order to observe the developments closely.

If the results of the tests are positive, a possible expansion of the project would be conceivable. Statements regarding future use and the results will be interesting to follow. The combination of state -of -the -art technologies and ecological requirements could be a model for similar projects in other regions. More information is available, according to www.photovoltaik.eu .

The pilot project at the Hanover Airport illustrates how airports can be considered as potential locations for renewable energies by using unused areas efficiently. The project reflects the increasing need to find ecological solutions and at the same time to promote the development of new technologies. Especially at a time when sustainability plays an increasingly important role in public discussion, this can be seen as an important step.
