The "Project Development" division deals with the acquisition and evaluation of suitable potential sites as well as the acquisition of building rights and the realisation of ground-mounted solar and wind power plants. The MaxSolar "Project Development" team manages projects throughout Germany from its offices in Traunstein, Berlin and Hamburg.
Our range of project development services includes:
- Citizen participation
Our initiative to educate the public about solar and wind energy provides important preliminary information. We aim to clarify unanswered questions and dispel fears in order to promote an understanding of the benefits of these sustainable energy sources.
- Site analysis/area assessment
We analyse and evaluate potential sites and also check important factors such as permit eligibility, distances to residential areas, potential access routes for the delivery of components and the possibilities for feeding into the grid.
- Grid connection test
As soon as areas have been checked by our specialists and declared suitable, we submit a non-binding grid connection check to the respective grid operator. This enquiry is always free of charge for site owners. We optimise the request depending on the voltage level and local grid situation so that the best possible grid connection point can be determined for all photovoltaic and wind energy projects.
- System planning
In plant planning, we develop detailed concepts for photovoltaic and wind power plants. We take care of the technical elaboration, selection of components and consideration of all legal and environmental requirements to ensure efficient and smooth realisation.
- Area protection
We offer land securing services for solar and wind energy projects. This includes identifying, assessing and securing suitable sites for renewable energy installations. Our expertise ensures that potential sites can be optimally utilised to enable sustainable and efficient energy generation.
- Authorisation planning
The project development team handles the application and coordination of authorisation procedures for both ground-mounted solar and wind power plants. During the approval process, all the necessary foundations for a successful approval are prepared in consultation with the approval authorities, planning and expert offices and the landowners - with the aim of obtaining a building permit in accordance with the Federal Building Permit Act.
- Securing the plant remuneration
We guarantee the long-term safeguarding of plant remuneration in accordance with the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). We take part in regular tenders for eligible projects in order to obtain a stable and sufficient payment claim for the first 20 years after commissioning. For plants that are not eligible for subsidies, we explore alternative marketing options such as direct marketing via power purchase agreements (PPAs) with electricity buyers.
