A 1230 panel solar plant based on SBP's Co-operation business package has been delivered and recently completed at Skärholmens Centrum in Stockholm.

When Skärholmen Centrum was opened by Prince Bertil in 1968, it was the country's largest suburban center. Since then, the shopping center south of Stockholm, also known as SKHLM, has remained at the forefront.

SBP was commissioned by owner Grosvenor Group to deliver a solar energy system where the choice of equipment was made with care, in particular the use of technology with high security functionality.

The delivery is based on the SBP packaging. Co-operation (read more about it here). This means that we at SBP take the initial investment and thus both financial and quality responsibility throughout the contract period. It also includes analysis, operation and support to ensure that the plant produces what has been promised.

The plant has been in operation since October and provides good values according to calculations.
- "It is fantastic that Grosvenor Group, as the owner of SKHLM, chooses to run the property on solar energy. As a major shopping center in a major municipality, the facility will provide a signal value to other property owners and drive the green transition, says Alexander Backström, project manager at SBP.

The 1230 panels have an estimated production of 387 000 kWh per year. The photovoltaic panels are mounted facing east and west, which provides better aerodynamics and thus puts less strain on the roof. It also gives a slightly better spread of energy production over the day.
- "We and Grosvenor have jointly chosen a system that creates good production and at the same time keeps the own load low enough. A successful project where we were able to meet Grosvenor's requirements. Since we at SBP have customarily chosen technology with high security functionality, it feels of course extra good when it is, after all, a shopping center with many daily guests.
