SBP and Atrium Ljungberg have been collaborating on solar energy in the Sickla area for several years. In 2019, we installed a solar cell system with 254 kWp on the building called Magasinet – which is now being further developed.
The project includes both dismantling and reassembly of the existing solar cell system – as well as an expansion with an additional 207 kWp. This means that the roof will soon produce even more renewable electricity than before, and at the same time be equipped with a new waterproofing membrane over an area of 7,500 square meters.
– It is a comprehensive project that we are implementing in close collaboration with Atrium Ljungberg. I must give them a lot of credit for deciding to further expand the existing capacity in connection with the roof renovation, says Mobin Jafari, project manager at SBP.
In the middle of Sickla Shopping Area
The project started in mid-May and shortly thereafter also the dismantling of over 700 solar panels. In connection with this, material for the roof replacement was lifted up, which created an efficient flow and a fast project implementation – something that has been particularly appreciated in a busy environment such as Sickla shopping area.
The Magazine is located in the middle of a vibrant district with shops, offices 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 that take 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 collaboration"
Atrium Ljungberg has a long-term sustainability strategy where solar energy plays a central role. Today, the company has solar cell systems on roofs in several Swedish cities, including Malmö, Uppsala and Stockholm. In total, their facilities produce approximately 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 are working for properties that meet future demands for transformation, both from a climate and business perspective, concludes Mobin Jafari.
