Changes to heritage protection rules now allow solar power generation on church roofs. The first system in the Hameln-Pyrmont district has been installed by Sunpower from Aerzen in Hesssich Oldendorf - Krückeberg
Sunpower GmbH from Aerzen has installed a 25kWp photovoltaic system with 14kWh of battery storage on the Evangelical Lutheran church in Krückeberg Hessisch Oldendorf.
The design of the roof layout was agreed with and approved by the heritage protection authority for the Hameln-Pyrmont district and the Office for Building and Cultural Heritage Conservation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover.
A system was chosen that can use a dynamic electricity tariff, allowing it to draw on low-cost electricity from the wholesale market alongside solar power, with the aim of supplying the church as fully as possible with affordable renewable energy. The system also has a backup power function that can continue to supply the church with electricity during a power cut.
