Solar and Environment
Powerful, environmentally friendly and economically sustainable
Energy in harmony with nature
At Athos Solar, we see photovoltaics as far more than generating electricity: we are convinced that solar energy makes a key contribution to climate protection, to conserving resources and to strengthening ecosystems. On this page you will learn how our large-scale projects benefit the environment and society – and why now is the perfect time to choose solar power for a green future.
Climate protection through solar power
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions
Every installation of renewable solar power replaces climate-damaging fossil fuels. Our ground-mounted parks prevent an average of 500–600 tonnes of CO₂ per megawatt peak (MWp) per year. - Relief for natural resources
Unlike coal or gas, photovoltaics does not require water and does not cause air pollution, it does not lead to the depletion of mineral resources and does not leave behind any nuclear waste products. - Sustainable value chain
We rely on certified modules, fair supply chains and recycling concepts to use resources efficiently from the start of production to the end of the system’s service life.
Clearly positive environmental balance
- Short payback periods
Studies show that a modern solar power system recoups the energy used in its manufacture within 2.5–3.5 years – and with a service life of over 35 years, it continues to generate many times that amount of clean energy. - Holistic approach
We always strive to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. We achieve this by minimising sealed surfaces, removing any existing contamination and implementing compensatory measures in all parks to offset the ecological impact.
Land management & biodiversity
- Careful use of land
Through optimised designs, we reduce the amount of land required and make use of unused areas. The ideal solution is to use conversion areas or areas affected by motorways or railways. - Promoting biodiversity
Flower strips next to the modules, insect-friendly border plantings and bee-friendly measures increase the ecological value of each plant.
Innovation for maximum efficiency
- Tracking systems
Single-axis trackers increase energy yield by up to 25% compared to fixed systems. - Bifacial modules
Light reflections from the surroundings are also utilised on the rear side, increasing overall performance. - Digital monitoring
State-of-the-art sensor technology and AI-supported analyses ensure continuous optimisation of plant performance.
