At the Bärnbach location near Graz, a gigantic photovoltaic system was therefore installed. A newly built hall with crusher, gravel layer and silo station is completely covered with PV panels to generate and consume as much electricity as possible on site. The novel IoE-Gateway neoom BEAAM continuously controls and optimizes the energy flow with the intuitive NTUITY software.
The entire roof area now generates electricity for the production.
In order to generate as much electricity as possible on site, the photovoltaic modules are arranged in such a way that nearly every m² on the roof of the new building is used, which has sufficient hours of sunshine. Thus, almost the entire roof area of approx. 4,700m² was used. This results in a photovoltaic system with an output of 625 kWp. Together with our partner Photovoltaik HÖRMANN, the project was completed within a few weeks. This system requires 18 Fronius SYMO PV inverters, which were installed on the outer wall of the hall, ensuring good accessibility without taking up space in the hall.
With this gigantic PV system, the client can obtain around 25% of the power consumption directly from the roof, resulting in a CO2 reduction of around 150-160 tons. The investment will pay for itself after only 7 years.
Intuitive monitoring of the solar system and interconnection with other sites
To easily monitor the production and distribution of energy by the solar system, a neoom BEAAM IoE gateway has been installed. BEAAM measures all relevant data relating solar 24 hours a day and the energy management software NTUITY analyses and visualizes this data in a user-friendly way. By networking several locations, optimization potentials can be read out and implemented remotely at any time in the future. Using artificial intelligence, NTUITY intuitively identifies potential savings and distributes electricity intelligently, taking into account all electricity consumers and generators - even across multiple locations.
