Greencells GmbHGmbH , Matzenberg , Saarbrücken , Saarland, Germany

GREENCELLS builds solar power plants. Our experience is
represented by over 800 MWp of realised installations. The largest
project planners put their trust in our services.

FREE-STANDING PARKS

As a full service provider of efficient, cost-effective photovoltaic power plants, we are in a position to offer companies, agriculturists, private investors and even municipalities attractive offers for the utilisation of their free spaces.

Solar parks the size of power plants ... depending on the funding situation and individual energy needs, arable land, quarries, brownfields, unused commercial areas, rubble and waste disposal sites, former airfields and converted military spaces can be suitable sites. Depending on the substratum, infrastructure and dimensions of the space, Greencells will always find the perfect solution for your personal solar power plant.

ROOF SYSTEMS

Greencells calculates, plans, realises and manages photovoltaic roof systems of any size – from detached houses and apartment buildings to agricultural and public buildings to consumer markets and commercial buildings. We offer you personal advice – from the profitability analysis to the maintenance of your plant –and provide you with assistance throughout all the phases of your photovoltaic project – so the sun always shines on your roof .

CARPORTS

Carports are the especially clever means of combining a photovoltaic power plant with many additional uses. You can offer your employees and customers parking spaces protected from the sun, rain and snow. You can even integrate a charging station for electrical mobility directly if you wish. The properties of the parking spaces themselves are of no importance. They can be gravel, grit, composite stones or sealed parking spaces. We find the best foundation for your carport and you also benefit from the increased support. We have an extensive portfolio of tried-and-tested carport systems to draw on. Cost-efficiency in focus at all times!

TRACKING SYSTEMS

The advantages are obvious: highly efficient and high-performance photovoltaic modules tracking the sun on a single or double axis. Depending on the location, this can provide yields 30% higher. We have access to a wide range of tracking systems tested over many years and together with you we select the most practical model in terms of latitude, topography and vegetation for your location. Together with the manufacturers we continue to develop the most practical foundations versions for your tracking system. For example, with special screw foundations it is also possible to plan simplified decommissioning in the future today.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

To be able to realise your vision precisely, strategic consultation can be the first step to methodical procedures. Initial consultation is always free of charge at Greencells.

We will be delighted to help you to find the right perspective in the complex network of an investment in the field of renewable energy. Please feel free to contact us.

CONSULTING

As strategic consultants we support the decision-makers, companies and public institutions in mastering the increasingly complicated planning environment in the world of photovoltaic power plants. We do so with a wealth of experience, a comprehensive network and explicit expertise. Especially as far as methods are concerned.

Our central consulting approach is called profiling: a methodical approach to strategic planning tasks with processes and models tried and tested in practice. These make a real difference in decisive moments and in the end to start a successful business model…always tailored to the respective national and local conditions.

FINANCING

We can also help to give your vision wings here. If you require the necessary documentation for a DUE DILIGENCE or simply want to purchase cost-effective components.

We optimise the cost-efficiency of your project and work out the most convenient conditions for you with your bank. We are also on hand for you as the owner of project rights when it is a case of finding interim financing or potential buyers and investors.

PLANNING

The basis of solid planning is an exact analysis of local conditions in terms of the location, legal and financial aspects. A yield prognosis is also part of our services, as are technical details.

EXPERT’S REPORTS

Whether for a tracking system or a free-standing park…a ground survey report generally forms the basis for solid planning. If there are no ground analyses available for the selected spaces, our geologists can compile the necessary expert’s reports quickly. Once the local conditions are clearly understood, we can find the right foundation version together with you. Whether earthscrew, pile-driven or concrete foundations are used…your plant can only weather any storm with a stable foothold.

PLANNING

Once a suitable surface has been found and if desired, Greencells can take on the complete construction planning and construction work and supply you with a turnkey plant.

Depending on the requirements, we compile a team of experienced planning engineers, business economists and project managers to determine the entire processes together with you following comprehensive analysis. The size of the plant, type of modules and the mounting system are determined based on the site. Once these configurations have been determined, all the requisite plans are created: plant layout, foundation & electrical installation plans.

Good planning can then only unfold to its full potential if checks are performed throughout the entire project of whether all the intermediate steps have been performed successfully and on time. If this is not the case, the responsible team responds immediately with tried-and-tested alternative concepts and effective plan adjustments. All to ensure your plant is connected to the grid on time.

TRIAL PILE DRIVING / TENSILE TESTS

For free-standing parks, so-called trial pile driving is generally an integral part of the planning phase. Foundations are trial driven on the site and the force required to remove them measured. This allows us to find the perfect foundation for the plant and create a testable structural analysis.

TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY

To be able to translate the planning into reality precisely and efficiently, we set great store by state-of-the-art GPS and laser-assisted surveying methods. True to the motto: double preparation time – half the performance time, we create as many marking points as possible to allow smooth, accurate realisation in the following construction stages.

SECURITY CONCEPT

Whether you require a security firm during construction, the erection of fences and gates or remote-controlled alarm technology, Greencells creates a personalised security concept for you in order to protect your plant optimally and keep your investment safe. This also allows us to guarantee low insurance premiums and increase the sustainable profitability of the plant even further.

MATERIAL LOGISTICS AND WASTE DISPOSAL

Organisation and an overview are an absolute must to ensure that the schedule is never put in jeopardy, especially in time-critical projects. For this reason, we also take care of the complete material logistics. This of course also includes an organised withdrawal and cleaning up of the construction site including proper disposal of waste.

REALISATION

This is where our practical experience comes into play. Pile-driving, screw or concrete foundation… frame & module installation… electrics… The schedule in focus at all times! Even when special solutions are necessary.

EARTHWORK & SITE PREPARATION

Everything from one source? Of course this also includes the site preparation. Whether it is a case of the clearing of spaces, the creation of buffer areas required by law, foundations for central inverters, the erection of construction roads and material reloading sites…basically everything that belongs to civil works.

SETTINGS UP OF BUILDING SITES

On request, we can also set up the building site for you: from the provision of material, recreation and office containers to the setting up of sanitary facilities as well as the connections for tap water, process water and electricity as needed.

PILE-DRIVEN FOUNDATIONS

Pile-driven foundations are the most cost-effective foundation version. With our special pile drivers we are in a position to insert all conventional profiles in the ground vertically. Whether Schletter, IPE, UPN, juwi or C-profiles is of no importance. In class 2-5 grounds, the most popular selection is pile-driven foundations. Our new device even allows us to drill, refill and then pile-drive if there is ever an obstacle in the way.

SCREW FOUNDATIONS

If the ground is very soft or subsequent adjustments need to be taken into account because of ground movements, the choice often falls to earthscrew foundations. Greencells has a wealth of experience in the installation of all conventional earthscrew foundations.

CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS

If the ground conditions are not suitable for pile-driven or screw foundations, we employ concrete foundations. These can be arranged very precisely in a previously prepared gravel bed and are used, for example, in disposal sites where seals must not be damaged or there are large obstacles buried in the ground. Even reinforced and unreinforced concrete structures can be partially formed to accommodate special structure requirements.

ROCK DRILLING

When the going gets tough, we always have the right machine. Our rock drilling machines create space for the foundations. Whether it is for granite, concrete or asphalt, following drilling it can be filled with the drill mix, C16/20 concrete, Pagel special mortar or split to ensure the foundation has a proper hold.

SOLAR INSTALLATION

This is where we let our power loose! Even when it’s in a hurry, we always remain cool and precise. We have already realised up to 5 MW a week. Clearly divided into different teams for foundation, frame erection and module installation, we always keep a cool head even in projects which are highly demanding in terms of time and technology.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

To ensure your plant is connected to the grid safely, we also take care of all the electrical work. String construction, DC subdistribution, data cables, underground cable, inverter configuration and monitoring. Even if you have planned charging points for electric vehicles or your calculation is based on high personal use, Greencells can make your vision reality.
