| Country: |
| Germany, UK, Netherlands |
| Duration: |
| Ongoing (2012) |
| Project aims: |
| DB: PV modules on roof of Berlin main train station - supplying green energy.
NS Poort/ProRail: Solar panels as part of solutions for upgrade of stations. |
| Application area: |
| DB: PV modules on roof of Berlin main train station. Biggest PV installation in Berlin, delivers almost 2% of the station's electricity consumption. Part of Green Terminal / DB Eco Program.
NS: has mounted PV equipment on three stations: Utrecht, Amsterd vehicle(s) |
| Description: |
| Energy efficiency gains: Deutsche Bahn: PV generators combined with energy management systems. For Berlin main station 160 MWh annually produced electricity representing 2% of annual consumption. NS: the PV production is 58 MWh for Utrecht and 340 MWh annually for Amsterdam.
