The two “SunCarriers” were installed by a+f GmbH, a company belonging to the GILDEMEISTER Group. The “SunCarrier 250” is a single-axis tracking system that continuously aligns its 248-square meter module surface area to the current position of the sun via its vertical axis thus achieving an increased energy yield of up to 30%. Thanks to its intelligent and environmentally-friendly energy generation the “SunCarrier 250” installed in Bielefeld can supply up to 24 4-person households* with electricity from renewable sources. The large energy store “cellcube FB 10-100”, a vanadium redox flow battery from Cellstrom GmbH, allows independent and flexible utilization of the electricity generated by the SunCarrier around the clock.
