    Solar folding roof Jakobsbad-Kronberg “saarebizgi - ase modeen” 2020
    The innovative project is unique worldwide. The solar folding roof covers the parking lot when the weather is nice. Enjoy the sun on the mountain or in the valley while your car waits for you in the cool shade! In wind, rain or snowfall, the solar folding roof is automatically retracted.
    Your piece of energy
    Together with SAK, we implemented a 2,640 m2 foldable photovoltaic system on our paved parking lot. The system consists of 1,320 panels and produces around 350,000 kWh per year. 660 panels are available for interested guests to use. Kronberg and SAK each use 330 panels directly.
    Private individuals or companies who want to support a sustainable future and also want to invest in innovative technology can purchase the right to use a panel. The right of use runs for 15 years.

      Innovative shade provider: solar folding roof that is unique in the world
      Since the summer of 2020, you can admire a very special attraction in the Kronbergbahn car park: the 4,000 m2 solar folding roof from SAK. The innovative solar system, comprising 1,320 panels, produces renewable energy and at the same time provides shade for 152 parked cars. This green energy produced locally is equivalent to the consumption of up to 70 households and is primarily used to power the Kronbergbahn.

        If there is still space, you can park your car in the shade under the solar panels. However, if there are two events on the same day, it will be tight here too
