Floating Solar Park in Differdingen

  • Project Description: In October 2021, Luxembourg's first floating solar park was inaugurated in Differdingen. 25,000 square meters of solar modules were installed on a former cooling pond of ArcelorMittal.
    Results: The solar park generates approximately 3 GWh of electricity annually, benefiting around 800 households. The project demonstrates how unused water areas can be effectively used for solar energy.
    Success Factors: Innovative use of industrial brownfields and water areas, high energy yield on a small space.

    Photovoltaic System on the Biohealth Parking Garage in Esch

  • Project Description: On the roof of the Biohealth parking garage in Esch, 868 solar modules with a total capacity of 287 kW were installed.
    Results: The system produces about 1,000 MWh of electricity annually, which corresponds to the annual consumption of 93 households.
    Success Factors: Use of existing infrastructure, significant energy cost savings for the building.

    Solar Park in Bartringen

  • Project Description: In December 2022, a contract was signed between the municipality of Bartringen and Enovos for the construction of a photovoltaic system with a capacity of 970 kWp.
    Results: The solar park will generate about 1,000 MWh of electricity annually, covering roughly one-third of the municipality's total energy consumption.
    Success Factors: Commitment of the local government to renewable energy, promotion of green initiatives at the community level.

    Solar System on the House of BioHealth in Esch

  • Project Description: On the roof of the "House of BioHealth" in Esch, solar modules with a total capacity of 287 kW were installed.
    Results: The solar power production covers about 40% of the building’s energy needs and leads to significant savings on energy costs.
    Success Factors: Use of solar energy for a modern office building, optimization of energy consumption, and improvement in sustainability.

    Solar Park in Kehlen

  • Project Description: The solar park in Kehlen is one of the largest renewable energy projects in the country. On an area of 20 hectares, 28,000 photovoltaic modules were installed.
    Results: The system has a capacity of 10 MWp and generates about 10 million kWh of electricity annually, supplying approximately 2,000 households.
    Success Factors: The solar park uses a large, unused area to produce clean energy, significantly contributing to CO2 reduction.

    Solar Thermal System in Düdelingen

  • Project Description: An innovative solar thermal system has been commissioned in Düdelingen, primarily used for water heating in several residential buildings.
    Results: The solar thermal system covers 60% of the annual hot water demand, saving a considerable amount of energy that would otherwise be covered by fossil fuels.
    Success Factors: The use of solar thermal energy for water heating reduces energy consumption and operating costs for the buildings, offering a cost-effective, sustainable solution.

    Solar System at the Luxembourg Science Center

  • Project Description: The Luxembourg Science Center in Differdingen installed a solar system with 400 photovoltaic modules on its roof.
    Results: The solar system generates 130,000 kWh of electricity annually and covers about 20% of the center's energy needs. The generated electricity is not only used for its own consumption but also fed into the public grid.
    Success Factors: The solar system supports the center’s vision to promote innovation and sustainability and serves as a practical example of renewable energy usage.

    Solar Power for the Luxembourg Green Building Council

  • Project Description: The Luxembourg Green Building Council installed a solar system with 200 photovoltaic modules on its office building in Luxembourg City.
    Results: The system generates 50,000 kWh of electricity annually, covering about 15% of the building's energy consumption. It helps reduce the company’s CO2 emissions.
    Success Factors: The project highlights the importance of solar energy for environmentally conscious organizations and sets a strong example for sustainable office buildings.

Solar System on the "La Belle Etoile" Shopping Center

  • Project Description: A solar system with a total capacity of 1.2 MWp was installed on the roof of the "La Belle Etoile" shopping center in Bertrange.
    Results: The system generates approximately 1.2 million kWh of electricity annually, covering about 25% of the shopping center’s energy needs.
    Success Factors: The solar system is a great example of using roof spaces of commercial buildings for energy production and offers a sustainable solution for commercial real estate.
