SIG Areal solar PV: 1,500 kWp solar PV system on historic industrial halls

The SIG Areal in Neuhausen am Rheinfall was where reasco.immo had the opportunity to plan and deliver an exceptional solar PV project. On halls 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11, a large-scale solar PV system was installed with a total output of 1,500 kWp.

The existing buildings posed a particular challenge. The solar PV system was installed on industrial halls more than 100 years old and combined with a roof renovation. This meant that the requirements of the existing building fabric had to be built into planning and implementation from the outset.

Planning and realisation together with Planeco Solar

reasco.immo accompanied the project across SIA work phases 21 to 53 together with Planeco Solar GmbH as project partner.

The system was commissioned in 2023. Investment costs amounted to around CHF 3.2 million and the project is one of reasco.immo's major solar PV references in the Schaffhausen region.
