Zizers-based dhp Technology is building its largest folding solar roof to date for the main wastewater treatment plant in Stuttgart-Mühlhausen. By spring 2026, 5280 modules are to be installed on an area of 17,000 square meters. According to a statement, the system, with a capacity of 2745 kilowatts peak, is the largest solar folding roof installed by dhp.
With the Bündner technology, the sewage treatment plant in Baden-Württemberg’s state capital can generate up to 11 percent of its annual consumption itself. The medium-term target is 18 percent.
According to the plans of the Eigenbetrieb Stadtentwässerung Stuttgart(SES), a span with solar modules is planned not only for the aeration basin in the north of the 25-hectare plant, but also for the area to the south, which is of a similar size. As SES informs, the investment will save more than 900 tons of carbon dioxide. ce/heg
