Are you a solar power plant operator with initial operating experience yet do you have questions about the earning potential or performance of your plants? Have you thought about repowering or revamping your photovoltaic installations? Modernising and technologically updating your photovoltaic power plant can considerably improve its availability and production, and thus offer you a significant return on your investment. In addition to improved performance, there is also a reduction in intervention costs, with latest-generation components and equipment, and new possibilities in terms of operation and maintenance.
Enhance the value of your solar assets in the long term and trust the experts at BayWa r.e.
Repowering – replacing photovoltaic panels and/or inverters in a solar energy plant currently in operation – or revamping – replacing a specific element at the power plant – are the keys to unlocking the future earning potential of plants currently in operation and extending their service life. BayWa r.e. will be your guide for all your repowering projects and can offer you tailor-made solutions.
