Analysis: the first step towards a photovoltaic system

A thorough feasibility or area analysis is the first step towards a successful solar project. That is why we offer you detailed technical assessments of your roof area and carports or open space and a precise estimate of the energy production of your PV system. With our expertise, you can maximize the economic return of your investment and sustainably reduce your CO2 footprint.

Feasibility studies for roof systems

By installing a solar system, you can make your business more sustainable, save energy costs, become independent of rising electricity prices and meet environmental regulations.
More and more companies are using roof systems to use solar energy to reduce costs in the long term and reduce their CO2 footprint. In some German federal states, such investments are even required by law, which makes them a valuable investment. The use of storage solutions is also increasing in order to efficiently use self-generated PV power and reduce dependence on rising electricity prices.
Our feasibility study shows you whether a PV system on your roof or carport is useful and economical. We analyse the condition of the roof, assess the technical feasibility and calculate the economic efficiency.
Experienced roof experts check the condition of your roof or carport while we assess the available roof space and its electrical integration into the building. Our study also includes an estimate of energy production, CO2 savings and economic payback period. With this data, you can make well-founded decisions and plan your path to your own PV system.
With our specialized planning software, we develop a tailor-made system design for your roof. You get a precise forecast of potential electricity production and savings.
Our software uses specific irradiation data to precisely calculate electricity production. We analyze your power consumption and potential load profile data to determine how much electricity you can save and feed it into the grid. This gives you an accurate estimate of the profitability of your investment. We summarize our methodology and results in a compact report, which provides you with all important information.
Every PV system is unique and requires individual planning. In a personal conversation, we will clarify your goals and needs and develop the optimal solution for your roof.
Before planning, we will have a conversation to understand your individual goals and usage requirements. We collect all relevant basic data and clarify open questions. To achieve realistic results, we need detailed information about your building, such as construction plans, static calculations and electrical infrastructure data. With our expertise and your support, we develop the best possible PV solution.

With the system design from our feasibility analysis, you already have a first, specific layout suggestion for your PV system and are ready for the next steps.

You can use this plant design as a basis for detailed planning and tendering or as a basis for further optimizations. With our support, you will start your journey to a sustainable and economical energy supply. Benefit from our many years of experience in project development, plant planning and operational management and rely on a future-proof investment in renewable energy.

Area analyses for open-space systems

An area analysis evaluates potential locations for your ground-mounted PV system. This analysis helps you make well-founded investment decisions and plan optimal occupancy structures.
Our experienced PV engineers take into account the requirements of modern solar parks and local conditions. With our thorough assessment, we help you implement efficient and profitable PV projects. The area analysis forms the basis for needs-based tenders and EPC projects, so that you are well prepared for the next steps.
With an accurate drone survey, we create a precise model of your potential plant location. This allows us to develop a realistic plant design that fits your space perfectly.
The drone survey allows us to create a detailed terrain profile that can be integrated into AutoCAD. We also record any shading objects and other relevant features that could influence the design and yield of your investment. On this basis, we develop an optimal system design that is both efficient and profitable and offers you the best possible benefit.
Our range of services includes comprehensive on-site appointments and drone recordings so that you get the best results for your ground-mounted PV system.
During an on-site appointment, we will record your site with meaningful images and carry out a visual assessment of the subsoil. We document access roads, shading situations and other special features such as emitting industries, railways or motorways. With our drone footage, we create an orthomosaic overview, a 360° panorama and, optionally, a video recording of the route. We summarize all collected data in a comprehensive report, which we then present to you.

Frequently asked questions

Is my roof suitable for a photovoltaic system?

After an on-site inspection, we analyse your roof area (s) and take into account technical aspects such as condition, load, interfering surfaces and shading in our analysis. In this way, we know exactly whether we can tackle your solar project and to what extent and provide you with all the results.

What are the individual steps of a feasibility study for roof systems?

Our range of services comprises the following steps in detail:

  1. Verification of static documents
  2. Assessment of roof quality in the form of a roof report
  3. Analysis of available roof area taking into account shading objects
  4. Determination of the additional roof load and comparison with the static reserves
  5. Investigation of the electrical infrastructure for PV system integration
  6. First plant design and occupancy planning
  7. Site-specific simulation of solar energy yields
  8. Analysis of the load profile to forecast PV self-consumption and surplus power generation for grid feeding
  9. Calculation of CO₂ savings
  10. Assessment of investment costs
  11. Determining ROI
  12. Detailed report on technical and economic aspects including payback period
  13. Optional review of storage solutions and charging infrastructure
When is an area analysis useful?
  • If you have vacant spaces at your location and are thinking about investing in a solar system: Our detailed and high-quality area analysis for PV systems enables you to make an informed decision about your investment. We record all relevant features of the site, including aerial photographs.
  • As an owner of a field, you are thinking about the possibilities of a PV system: Our experts analyse the requirements and conditions of your location to give you a comprehensive picture of how to develop a solar park.
  • If you need an independent assessment of an existing area analysis: We are happy to review your area analyses and offer a neutral location analysis for your projects.
  • If you, as a project developer, need a detailed analysis of a potential location: We carry out on-site analyses, create aerial photographs and present the results in a comprehensive report.
What are the individual steps of a surface analysis for PV systems?

We proceed in four steps in our area analysis:

  1. Site survey
