Support from the EWS construction management team for the second largest PV roof system in Europe

Together with the company PÜSPÖK, Burgenland Energie is currently realising the new rooftop photovoltaic system in Zurndorf, which is 30 football pitches or 20 hectares in size. EWS was commissioned with the overall construction management of the PV syste

Nomen est omen at XXXLutz and so the existing PV roof system of the central warehouse in Zurndorf, district of Neusiedl am See, was expanded to around 20 megawatts with a total of 35,000 panels in XXXL size. This makes it the largest PV rooftop system in Austria and the second largest in Europe.

EWS plans and implements large-scale solar power systems

EWS is known as a reliable and experienced partner for finding quick and efficient solutions when planning, approving, implementing or operating large-scale PV projects such as the one in Zurndorf. This applies to agri-photovoltaic systems such as the EWS Sonnenfeld in Mining, Upper Austria, with an output of around 15 MWp, as well as the agri-PV megaproject in Tadten-Wallern with up to 164 MWp and the 20 MWp XXXLutz rooftop system. Our expertise in terms of overall construction management and site coordination is particularly in demand here.

EWS Managing Director Lukas Winkler:"The EWS construction management services for our customers in the photovoltaic sector currently include projects totalling 617 MWp. These include 13 EWS Sonnenfelder® as agricultural photovoltaic systems, 11 ground-mounted PV systems, of which 8 projects are operated as hybrid wind and solar parks, and two rooftop PV systems."

Lukas Püspök, Managing Director at PÜSPÖK: "This project shows how we create real, future-proof solutions through regional cooperation with innovative companies like EWS - economically viable, sustainable and effective in the long term. We have a long-standing, trusting partnership with EWS, both in the field of wind energy and increasingly in photovoltaic projects. We would like to further intensify this successful collaboration in order to actively drive forward the energy transition together."

Smile at the sun!

If we rely on photovoltaics on a large scale today, not only the sun but also our planet will have something to smile about. And you as an EWS customer can do the same, of course!
