New solar installation in the heart of Uppsala for UAF

September 25, 2024
Uppsala Akademiförvaltning has several properties of cultural and historical value. For the third time, they have chosen to collaborate with SBP for solar cell installations on their historic buildings.

SBP is currently finalizing another solar project for Uppsala Akademiförvaltning (UAF), which manages real estate and agricultural properties in and around Uppsala. UAF has a long history of managing properties with links to Uppsala University and other educational institutions, making them an important player in the city's cultural heritage and real estate portfolio.

This time, SBP is working on two buildings of high cultural-historical value along the Fyrisån river, right in the center of Uppsala. The buildings, which were built in the 19th century, also reflect the city's history as a center of academia and culture. Their proximity to both Uppsala University and the Cathedral has made them an important part of academic life and the city's identity for several centuries.

- This project is unique, as the historic buildings require great care and precision in the installation of the solar panels," explains Milos Dinic, Project Manager at SBP.

Work started during the 2024 holidays and the project is expected to be ready for operation in early October.

Careful planning has been crucial, as the roof surfaces vary in gradient and the project's location in the center of Uppsala has required adapting to traffic and limited street space.

- Careful planning has been crucial, as the roof surfaces vary in slope and type. The project's location in the center of Uppsala has required adapting to the traffic and the limited street space during establishment and de-establishment, concludes Milos Dinic.
