Solar folding roofs for 45 motorway rest areas
The expansion of photovoltaics in Switzerland plays a decisive role in the implementation of the energy turnaround and is an important component of the Energy Strategy 2050 for the Federal Council. One way to promote solar energy is to install photovoltaic systems along Swiss motorways.
aventron and the companies BG Consulting Engineers AG, Cargo sous terrain and dhp technology are joining forces to equip a total of 45 FEDRO motorway rest areas in French-speaking Switzerland and the cantons of Valais and Bern with innovative photovoltaic systems
