Intersolar 2024: JUWI exceeds 4,000 megawatt milestone and initiates further large-scale projects

"We have a well-filled project pipeline with a number of major projects with which we are already targeting the 5,000 megawatt threshold in terms of installed solar capacity. Particularly in Germany, we are we're increasingly focusing on projects that involve supplying green electricity to industrial clients and incorporating storage technologies," explains Carsten Bovenschen, CEO of JUWI GmbH. The company is currently preparing the construction of further large solar parks with an output of over 100 megawatts each in the USA. In the US state of Colorado, where the company's US branch is located, JUWI is currently constructing three photovoltaic projects with a total output of more than 500 megawatts (DC). While the "Spanish Peaks" project has been under construction since the end of last year, the sale of two further PV projects to the energy supplier Tri-State from Colorado was sealed at the beginning of June. Axial Basin Solar is a 186 megawatt (DC) project in Moffat County around 250 miles northwest of Denver. Dolores Canyon Solar is a 141 MW (DC) project located in Dolores County approximately 400 miles southwest of Denver. JUWI will begin construction on both projects shortly.

Revamping and cyber security

Another key part of JUWI's presence in Munich is the company's operations management services: in addition to solar farm operations management, maintenance and 24/7 remote monitoring, JUWI also offers a range of specialized services. These include the secure connection of solar and wind parks to the data network through the Secure Connect solution.

The revamping of solar parks - i.e. the replacement of modules in existing plants - is also playing an increasingly important role. This is the operator's response to module degradation, which averages 0.5 to 1 percent of output. Over the past seven years, JUWI's operations management division has replaced around 720,000 modules with a total output of around 119 megawatts in 18 solar parks. In addition to insurance claims, the possibilities offered by the German EEG 2023 are also playing an increasing role. For around one and a half years now, older modules in existing parks can be replaced even if they are not damaged, without losing the EEG subsidy.

New employer brand

Just in time for the start of Intersolar in Munich, JUWI will present its redesigned employer brand identity. In view of the upcoming major projects and a market that continues to grow, the company is planning additional new hires in the coming months. "With our slogan "The Power of Our Unity" we are recruiting experienced specialist and young talents." continues Bovenschen. The pioneering company for renewable energies, , which has been established for almost 30 years, is therefore emphasizing its cooperative corporate culture and sustainable business model.
