Solar energy in the Vatican
Vatican City may be the smallest sovereign state in the world, but it is also one of the greenest. It has long been an exemplar for tackling climate change through its approach to renewable energy.
Thanks to a unique photovoltaic plant installed on the roof of the Vatican Audience Hall, the Papal State has been producing 300 mWh of solar energy every year since its installation in 2008.
The project was planned and managed by BayWa r.e. with the PV modules, inverters and its installation donated by solar technology provider, SolarWorld.
Agro Photovoltaic
As our need for more sources of clean and reliable renewable energy continues to become more urgent, a new dilemma has begun to emerge: how can we find new sites for solar plants without sacrificing important agricultural land? Can the two co-exist?
In Germany, close to Lake Constance, we’re working on an important and extensive research project funded by the Government to understand just how a balance between energy and agriculture can be struck.
We’ve installed and are testing the largest Agro Photovoltaic (APV) system in Germany at a farm in Heggelbach - an area which aims to increase its share of renewable energy to 26 percent by 2022.
Solar Parks Cork Oak & Sunflower
Delivering solar installations in the US often requires navigating multiple stakeholders and legal requirements. While challenging, our model of working in close partnership with local developers creates the ideal delivery team, allowing us to find a way when others might stumble.
We partnered with local developer, Geenex Solar, to develop Cork Oak and Sunflower. These two large solar installations generate a combined 47 MW and the clean, reliable and renewable energy they provide will benefit North Carolina for many years to come.
Crowdlending projects
While renewable energy benefits everyone in society, engaging and involving local communities who live near to proposed wind farms can be crucial to a project’s success.
At BayWa r.e., we are committed to working together with local communities and our colleagues in France have been leading the way with their involvement in the country’s pioneering adoption of ‘crowdlending’ to support windfarm development.
Solar Park Vine Farm
Based in South Cambridgeshire in the UK, Vine Farm Solar Park is one of the UK’s largest solar installations, spanning 88 hectares.
The impressive 146,000 panel utility scale site generates 46 MW, enough to supply 11,500 homes.
Via a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement, the world largest building society, Nationwide, is using the power from the solar farm to increase the amount of renewable energy it uses and to manage the environmental impact of its activities.
Our expert operations and management team is now in place to ensure maximum availability and yield optimisation for the plant at all times.
The BayWa Foundation
Whether it’s the food we eat, the energy we consume or the homes we live in, sustainability sits at the heart of our commitment to tomorrow’s generation. These are the pillars of our business and sustainability is at the heart of what we do.
The BayWa Foundation was founded in 1998 and promotes sustainable education projects in the areas of renewable energy, healthy nutrition and supporting talent.
The Foundation is special in that 100 percent of the donations go directly into the projects. BayWa AG, our parent company, covers all the administrative costs and matches every donation given.
Commercial solutions for European retailer
Today’s retailers have to work doubly hard to attract and retain consumers who are quick to compare and switch loyalties.
It’s no longer a decision based solely on price, as more and more customers make environmentally conscious choices on what they buy, and where they buy it.
Wind Park Bishopthorpe
Located in Lincolnshire, Bishopthorpe is an eight-turbine wind farm, generating 16.4 MW of clean green energy to the national grid.
Our team of experts value engineered the entire project and had it installed and generating electricity within a year, to qualify for the Renewables Obligation support scheme.
With a maximum blade tip height of 115 metres, and an impressive forecast net capacity factor of 35.5 percent, it attracted significant interest from investors before it became an important asset in the portfolio of leading renewable infrastructure fund, Greencoat UK Wind Plc.
