The largest energy community in Denmark is now under construction, with more than 30,000 m² of sun roofs with a total capacity of around 4 MW. The project will make use of buildings-integrated photovoltaisches (BIPV) on pitched roofs and building attached photovoltaic (BAPV) on flat roofs of Danish specialist Solartag.
The construction started with a neighborhood scale energy collective in Denmark driven by BIPV and BAPV. The Faelledby Energy Community in the Faelledby district in Copenhagen will contain more than 30,000 m² of solar roofs with an estimated capacity of 4 MW.
The project will contain a few dozen sun roofs, each with the help of crystalline silicon solar modules. The Solartag van Denmark installs BIPV on Pitched roofs and BAPV on flat roofs.
A single local energy -community operator will manage production, share and measures for all solar systems.
Mikkel Karlsson, CEO of Solartag, said that the energy community will have the largest BIPV-BAPV installation in Scandinavia.
“It is also one of the first to combine local electricity, architecture and civilian ownership in a way that is scalable,” Karlsson added. “That is what the energy transition needs – solutions that work technically, social and visually.”
A spokesperson for Solartag told PV -Magazine That the community will be the home base for a maximum of 6,000 inhabitants, consisting of both private homeowners and tenants in publicly subsidized homes. The first residents are expected to withdraw at the end of 2025.
The energy community will also include a shared battery bank of 4.5 MWh, which must be installed in phases and centrally.
“The batteries enable the community to save during the day during the day for evening use, offer local peaks and to resell flexibility to the National Grid via market -based system services,” the Solartag spokesperson added.
The system is designed to Maximize on-site consumption, with approximately 60% to 70% of the production that is expected to be used locally in the district in Huizen, Schools and Public Infrastructure.
“Surplus energy will be stored in the battery system if possible and entered in the public network via a collective feed-in agreement,” said the spokesperson. “No traditional net measurement is used. Instead, the community participates in market-based compensation schedules for surplus electricity and grid services.”
