A milestone for sustainable energy in Germany Wesel.

Soventix GmbH, a leading developer of international solar projects, is pleased to announce the completion and commissioning of the new floating solar power plant at Ellerdonksee.

This innovative project was realized on behalf of Holemans GmbH, a renowned company in gravel and sand extraction, based in Wesel, Germany. The floating solar power plant, installed on the surface of Ellerdonksee, is an impressive example of sustainable technology and efficient land use. With an installed capacity of 5.6 megawatts (MW) and over 10,000 solar modules, the plant will generate around 5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity annually, making it the largest floating photovoltaic system of its kind in North Rhine-Westphalia.

This output meets the annual energy needs of approximately 2,000 households while saving over 2,000 tons of CO2; emissions per year. Innovative Technology for Sustainable Energy Installed over an area of 3.1 hectares, about four football fields, the plant utilizes water surfaces efficiently and conserves valuable land resources.
