Sunrock Germany, in partnership with Lang & Cie. Real Estate AG, has developed an innovative 5 MWp PV rooftop solar system in Polch, Germany. This project serves the logistics real estate market, featuring the MultiBusinessHub spanning 67,000 m². The solar installation, featuring approximately 12,000 panels, is integrated with a green roof that covers 50% of the area (30,000 m²) – making it one of the largest green roof PV systems in Germany. This combination reduces CO2 emissions by 1,647 tons every year.
What makes this project truly special? With the successful integration of green roofing and solar PV installation, this unique approach not only boosts the property’s value but also supports net-zero carbon operations, helping to meet ambitious ESG goals. The solar system offers predictable energy costs and reduces grid dependence while generating affordable, clean energy for the building users.
With a 25-year lease term and Sunrock’s 100% investment, the project poses virtually no financial risk for owners or tenants. It provides clean energy through local offtake or grid feed-in options. Additionally, the building is constructed according to the DGNB Gold Standard, with comprehensive supply chain transparency and carbon footprint tracking. The property sets a new standard and model for sustainable logistics developments going forward.
Tim Kayser, Regional Head of Development at Sunrock Germany: “At Sunrock, we always go for the win-win-win situation. We’re able to not only install the PV system and market the electricity, but also, support the owners in achieving their ESG goals and, of course, provide the tenants with green energy at a good price.
Julius Bender, Board Member at Lang & Cie. Real Estate AG: “Even in the planning stage, we knew that this 60,000-square-meter roof should have a PV system on it, as sustainability is important to us. Clearly, we needed a partner. And we found one in Sunrock.”
