Floating PV project at the Ellerdonk gravel works

The Ellerdonk gravel works owned by Holemans in Bislich, North Rhine-Westphalia, is located right next to the Rhine. The largest floating PV system in the state with an installed capacity of 5.6 MWp was built on the quarry pond. Just over 10,000 modules are floating on the lake. The project was realized by Soventix from nearby Wesel.

meteocontrol supplied its VDE-AR-N 4110/4120-certified power plant controller based on the blue'Log XC and weather sensors. The project planning and remote commissioning were also carried out. The VCOM Cloud is used for monitoring. 60 percent of the electricity generated remains in the gravel plant, the rest flows into the power grid. The solar park has been in operation since November 2023.
