The performance of a solar park in the south of the country

Enerdeal was founded in 2009 and specialises in building, operating and financing industrial-scale solar power plants (minimum of 2.000 m² of ground-mounted roofing or 200 kW in solar terms). Two hundred solar projects have already been completed; for half these projects, customers wanted to purchase or finance the project themselves, while customers for the other half preferred a third-party financing solution.

Enerdeal’s customers are industrials or property owners who wish to strengthen their ESG commitments. As the environment has become the main reason that companies seek out Enerdeal today, it develops solutions that are tailor-made to suit their business and their environmental goals.

To bring the "BioHealth Carport" project to life, Enerdeal and Sudstroum created a 50/50 joint venture called Sudsolar Energy Invest II Sàrl. They therefore share equally in the work, opportunities and risks. Together, they come up with and implement the best solutions and seek appropriate financing.

therefore taken into account and then included in the building permit for the carport. This project was therefore a purely private initiative.

It generally works the other way around: on the one hand, you have a commercial approach on our side and on the other, you have the public authorities (government, municipalities, etc.) that help promote the various projects. We should also note that the BioHealth carport has inspired some ideas that will give rise to other similar projects in the near future.

The BioHealth carport is laid out in half-storeys, which is why only half the car park currently has solar panels. Shade is a factor that could, in the case of half-storeys, reduce the effectiveness of the panels. For now, we have therefore developed only half the surface area and, 

in the second phase, another storey will certainly be added and fitted with solar panels.

As with all types of projects, there are of course constraints, but they are all generally resolved and the projects are successful.

There are no rare earths, no heavy metals and no serious pollutants in a solar panel, and 90% to 95% of its composition can be dismantled and recycled.

The lifespan of a solar panel is currently at least 25 years and

In terms of our offerings, given the growing need for renewable energy, we are evolving and incorporating additional infrastructure into our solutions, including charging stations for electric vehicles.

Some customers contact us to incorporate solar into their car parks and generate renewable energy, but then don’t want to handle the management side. So we work to offer comprehensive customised solutions that range from simple execution of the solar installation to third-party financing/leasing.

As a national bank and given its commitment to the country’s ecological development, Spuerkeess supports customer projects that aim to contribute to a better climate.

Interview with Max Zuccoli, Public Sector relationship manger in Spuerkeess’s Corporate Banking department, to learn how this project unfolded.

The BioHealth project was actually presented to us in mid-June 2020 by Sudsolar’s representatives. This first presentation mainly outlined the national renewable energy objective set by the Luxembourg government for 2020, as well as its technical implementation.

Finalising the BioHealth project’s financing needs required frequent contact to reach an agreement on Spuerkeess’s financing shortly after the project was first presented.
