Installation and production

Schematic of the installation (provided by Marta Victoria)

Our project is a 98 kWp photovoltaic system on the rooftop of two buildings in Nobelparken in Aarhus. The project uses two types of solar panels (one for each roof) so that the students and researchers can compare their performance in the Danish weather. The installation adopts a east-west orientation in a “delta” structure and ballast mounting. The objective is to maximize self-consumption on site, and the surplus is sent back to the grid during times when the consumption in these buildings is lower than production from PV system. No battery system is used.  

From PVGIS website, we estimate that roughly 85.8 MWh will be produced yearly by a 98 kWp PV system installed in Aarhus. The installation was completed in summer 2024. 

The installation is carried out by 1KOMMA5° Danmark

Solar panels have been mounted on rooftop 1 by 1 July 2024.

Production from the installations

Our partner in research project AURORA has developed an online dashboard, where you can view the energy produced from the UEF installations. Click here and select "Aarhus University" to see how much energy is produced. 

If you are an UEF member, you can register an account and see how much energy is produced from your shares of the UEF installation. You can find the number of shares in the confirmation email from our administrator EBO Consult. Follow this step-by-step guide to navigate the online dashboard
