For several years now, SBP and Atrium Ljungberg have been collaborating on solar energy in the Sickla area. In 2019, we installed a 254 kWp solar cell system on the building known as Magasinet - which is now being further developed.
The project involves both the dismantling and reassembly of the existing photovoltaic system - and the addition of a further 207 kWp. This means that the roof will soon be producing even more renewable electricity than before, and at the same time be fitted with a new waterproofing layer over an area of 7 500 square meters.
- "This is an extensive project that we are carrying out in close cooperation with Atrium Ljungberg. I have to give them a lot of credit that in connection with the roof renovation they decided to further expand the existing capacity," says Mobin Jafari, project manager at SBP.
In the middle of Sickla Trade Area
The project started in mid-May, followed shortly after by the dismantling of over 700 solar panels. In connection with this, materials for the roof installation were lifted, which created an efficient flow and rapid project implementation - something that has been particularly appreciated in a visitor-dense environment such as the Sickla commercial area.
The warehouse is located in the middle of a vibrant neighborhood with retail, office and cultural activities, which requires careful planning to minimize the impact on the surroundings. SBP has therefore worked closely with all parties to ensure a safe and smooth implementation process.
- There are several stages taking place in parallel, which places high demands on both logistics and coordination. Our experience of similar projects has been an important success factor here," says Mobin Jafari.
"Happy to continue the cooperation"
Atrium Ljungberg has a long-term sustainability strategy in which solar energy plays a central role. Today, the company has solar cell installations on roofs in several Swedish cities, including Malmö, Uppsala and Stockholm. In total, their facilities produce around 4,200 MWh of green electricity per year.
The investment in Sickla is part of the company's ambition to create future-proof and climate-friendly urban environments, where energy use is made more efficient while reducing the climate footprint.
- "We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Atrium Ljungberg and contribute to their ambitious sustainability goals. Together we work for properties that meet the future demands for transition, both from a climate and business perspective, concludes Mobin Jafari.
