In collaboration with the photovoltaic specialist ENVIRIA and the Nagel Group, Real I.S. is installing a large-scale photovoltaic system at its logistics site in Wustermark. The system utilises the existing roof space to generate solar power, thereby expanding the site’s energy infrastructure. For Real I.S., the project represents another concrete step in its portfolio-wide photovoltaic strategy. The focus is on utilising suitable roof areas for solar power generation and the further energy-efficiency development of existing properties.
Additional use of the existing roof space
The photovoltaic system transforms a previously unused roof area into an integral part of the site’s energy supply. The property gains an additional level of utilisation without altering its existing function. Implementation takes place via a roof-leasing model. Under this model, the existing roof space is used for the installation and operation of the photovoltaic system, whilst the function of the logistics property remains unchanged.
Prospects for further development
With the project in Wustermark, Real I.S. is laying further groundwork for the use of renewable energy at an existing property. In addition, the company is examining whether the system could be expanded in the future to include further components such as battery storage and energy management systems.
