Photovoltaic yields at a glance

We have had our first photovoltaic system connected to the grid since October 2024. We now produce 60.2 kWp on the roof of Emil-Figge-Straße 38. We would now like to continue on this path and use the roofs for further systems.

Monthly PV yields

In total, we have produced 76,864 kWh of electricity since October 2024, avoiding 31,231 kg of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 equivalents) compared to the federal electricity mix*.

For comparison

The electricity generated is equivalent to driving 480,401 km in an electric car (16 kWh / 100 km) - enough to circle the globe 12 times.

At the same time, as many greenhouse gas emissions could be avoided as would be produced by around 53 return flights from Düsseldorf to Madrid.
