Bavelse Berg solar park
The Bavelse Berg solar park is a technically challenging project that sets new standards. The largest solar project on a landfill site in the Netherlands. One of the ten largest ground-mounted solar parks in the region. And a project that GOLDBECK SOLAR can be proud of.
The Bavelse Berg solar park is technically challenging for several reasons. As a dual-use project, i.e. an area that is to be used not only for energy production but also as a landfill site, the solar park has to meet special requirements.
One of the biggest challenges was certainly the shape of the mountain on which the plant was erected. The solar modules had to adapt flexibly to the ground without blocking the agricultural land.
Of course, the landfill itself could not be restricted in its function. The landfill is separated from the surface by a foil. The landfill is permeated by numerous pipes and valves so that the gas produced during waste processing can be discharged. These were of course not allowed to be damaged during the installation of the solar modules.
The rail system with which the solar modules were installed flexibly and movably is innovative. This allows the installation to be carried out from a single point and the module groups to be transported over long distances. project manager Ron van Jeveren explains exactly what this looks like in the video.
GOLDBECK SOLAR in Breda did not implement one project, but rather many small projects that come together to form a large whole. The result is a solar park that makes maximum use of the available space to produce energy without putting unnecessary strain on nature and the soil. There are still large areas around the solar park that can be used for animal husbandry, for example.
Bavelse Berg shows how future solar parks can make multiple use of an area, protect nature and the land and produce clean electricity. 9000 households in the Breda region of the Netherlands will be supplied with solar power from the solar park and gas from the landfill.
