Energy-Efficient Refurbishment of Old Building with PVT · Apartment Building, Berlin

Project Challenges:

  • Gas as the original heating method: high energy / ancillary costs for tenants
  • Search for alternative heating solutions in order to reduce the charge on tenants
  • No air heat pumps desired due to noise emissions from outdoor units

Solution with Sunmaxx PVT:

  • Intelligent source management for the operation of a combined geothermal and PVT energy
  • PVT as an electricity and heat supplier: heating costs of less than 10 cents per kWh with renewable energy
  • Silent operation of the PVT system, no noise emissions

Silent Energy Source on the Roof: The Heating Solution for Noise Emission Requirements. A Guarantee for High Energy Yields, Even with Challenging Roof Shapes.

Energy-efficient refurbishment in urban areas and confined spaces? Sophisticated roof shapes? Country-specific regulations against noise emissions from air heat pumps? No problem for Sunmaxx and our partner network. Where air source heat pumps may not be installed due to noise emissions, PVT provides a remedy – and is also significantly more durable and therefore more economical than the alternative with an outdoor unit. Thanks to the simultaneous electricity and heat production of our PVT modules and clever energy management, made possible by Parabel Energiesysteme GmbH, the owner of this apartment building uses his complex roof with four times the space efficiency.

Cost-Effective Electricity and Heat Generation for Approx. 3,500 m² of Living Space

Rising electricity and heating costs are increasingly becoming a problem – especially in big cities. In this project, the energy supply was switched from gas to a regenerative, almost self-sufficient system. It consists of six geothermal probes combined with a PVT system. The aim: to reduce energy prices in the long term and ease the financial burden on tenants. A successful switch from fossil fuels to renewable energies – and a win-win situation for everyone involved.
