Solar power from a logistics centre roof: photovoltaic system in Reichertshofen

Real I.S. finds an additional use for the roof space

On the roof of a logistics property in Reichertshofen, Real I.S. has, in collaboration with photovoltaic specialist Sunrock, installed a large-scale photovoltaic system. The system utilises around 5,469 square metres of roof space to generate solar power. Sunrock has leased the roof space, installed the photovoltaic system and is responsible for its operation. The electricity generated is made available directly on-site to the tenant, KP Family International GmbH. Surplus electricity is fed into the public grid. The project thus combines the use of an existing roof area with the local generation of solar power. For Real I.S., the photovoltaic system is a concrete example of active asset management and the further development of existing properties.

Implementation whilst operations continue

A key requirement for the project was the integration of the installation work into the ongoing operations of the logistics property. Coordination between Real I.S., Sunrock, KP Family and the other project partners enabled the work to be carried out without any major disruption to day-to-day operations. The connection to the transformer network was also coordinated in advance. This meant that the necessary work could be integrated into the existing operational workflow.

A concrete example of active asset management

The project in Reichertshofen demonstrates how existing properties can be further developed through additional energy infrastructure. The existing roof area is used to generate solar power, a significant proportion of which can be utilised directly on site. For Real I.S., photovoltaics is therefore a key component of asset management, enabling the further development of the potential uses of existing properties.
