Bavaria's Innovative SKipp PV Plant Launched in Gilching

Bavaria has launched an innovative photovoltaic plant in Gilching, utilizing SKipp technology. The plant was inaugurated by Minister President Dr. Markus Söder, Dr. Philipp Sinn, and Gottfried Jais, with over a hundred guests in attendance.

The plant, installed by Hönle AG, covers just 4.65 percent of the water surface but creates new habitats for local wildlife. It consists of 2600 PV modules arranged vertically and secured with a cable system, a global first in plant technology.

The modules are positioned east-west for consistent power production throughout the day. With an installed capacity of 1.87 megawatts, the plant is expected to generate around two gigawatt hours of energy annually, reducing the gravel pit's electricity consumption by about 70 percent.

Dr. Philipp Sinn highlighted that the SKipp technology pursues two main goals: sustainable energy production and increasing resilience. Markus Söder praised the innovation, placing Bavaria at the forefront of federal states in renewable energies.

The innovative photovoltaic plant in Gilching, utilizing SKipp technology, has been officially commissioned. With minimal water surface coverage, it maximizes energy production and reduces the gravel pit's electricity consumption significantly. The plant showcases Bavaria's commitment to renewable energy innovation.
