Wåhlin Fastigheter has achieved a major milestone in their sustainability work. Now 1000 kilowatts have been installed on their apartment buildings with the help of SBP - and there will be more.

- "We at Wåhlin Fastigheter think that solar energy is a good way to contribute to the environment and at the same time get green energy to our properties, especially those with high consumption," says Bo Dunér about the investment in green energy.

Since 2018, 22 solar cell installations have been commissioned thanks to a successful collaboration between SBP and Wåhlin Fastigheter. Work is currently underway on six projects at properties in Märsta, Solna, Sundbyberg, Enskede, Bromma and Gärdet in Stockholm. The project in Märsta was the first of these to be completed before the summer, where three solar cell installations on different buildings are connected to one and the same electricity center where the need to streamline energy use was greatest.

The long collaboration has made the projects run smoothly, says Johan Braunerhielm, project manager at SBP.
- "The collaboration is working brilliantly. After 22 projects together, we have gotten to know each other well and know exactly where we stand. This means that we always have a good dialog before, during and after each individual project," he says.

Even more projects in the pipeline

But this is far from the last thing the real estate company will do in terms of green energy. It is already clear that the collaboration will continue in 2025 with additional solar energy projects, which means that they are approaching 1200kW of solar energy.
- SBP has a very good overall concept and with good feedback and ongoing information about ongoing projects, says Bo Dunér about the collaboration.

At the next installation, however, they will take a further step by helping to balance the Swedish electricity grid with the help of energy storage and thus enable several future solar cell installations in the country. Alexander Backström, Account Advisor at SBP, has been involved since the beginning of the collaboration with Wåhlin Fastigheter and is excited about the company's green energy initiatives.
- "It's fantastic to continue to be trusted to be part of their sustainable journey. It is particularly exciting to be able to do the first project with energy storage, which I hope will lead to an even broader collaboration in the future.
