PV systems
The transition from fossil to renewable energy is one of the most important building blocks in the transformation to climate neutrality. The university is a pioneer among German universities in the expansion of photovoltaic systems on its own roofs - PV systems have already been installed on 80% of the available roof surfaces.
The systems are financed in part by the European Union's Structural Funds (EFRE) and by Intraction from the university's own funds. With this Oldenburg method, further PV systems are constantly being financed and installed.
The latest expansion of the photovoltaic systems has enabled the University of Oldenburg to increase its CO2 savings once again. In addition, the number of solar modules on the roofs of the University of Oldenburg is set to grow further. Work is currently underway to commission further systems. Following successful commissioning, the PV system output should then amount to around 1,400 kWp.
Location Haarentor
At the Haarentor site, PV systems are currently installed on the roofs of 7 buildings/groups of buildings. These have a total output of 569 kWp and can generate around 486,000 kWh of electricity per year. Measured using the emission factor for the federal electricity mix for the year 2022, a total of up to 211 tons of CO2 are saved per year.
Location Wechloy
At the Wechloy site, PV systems are currently installed on the roofs of 5 buildings/groups of buildings. These have a total output of 168 kWp and can generate around 139,000 kWh of electricity per year. Measured with the emission factor for the federal electricity mix for the year 2022, a total of up to 60 tons of CO2 are saved per year.
