The working method of Aber Solar
From plan to green energy
We arrange everything: environmental management, permit application, design, construction, maintenance and monitoring. Is your location the next renewable energy source? And are you curious about the steps we go through for this? We’ll list it for you.
Preparation
Free location scan | To find out whether your location is suitable for a solar park, team of Aber Solar first conducts a suitability study. We examine, among other things, the size of your site, its planning suitability and connection options to the electricity grid.
Option Agreement | Aber Solar starts with the development of a concept plan for the solar park. Based on this, we will work out an option agreement that we will discuss with you. The option agreement is the starting point of the procedure for an environmental permit. The option agreement contains all relevant agreements such as the costs and duration of the project.
One for all, all for one
Aber Solar does this together with you, but also with those involved in the area. Aber Solar takes those involved into the entire process of the arrival of a solar park. With the help of kitchen table conversations and walk-in and information evenings, we enter into a conversation with the environment about matters such as landscape integration and various participation options. We will take the findings from these discussions into account in the further procedure. . Why should we get forces from other regions, if there are professional hands in our own local area? This strengthens local acceptance of the arrival of the solar park, gives people confidence in the plans and strengthens your relationship with the environment.
Licensing
Request in principle | We will make the first sketches of the solar park in consultation with you. Aber Solar then contacts the competent authority to obtain planning cooperation. We strive for cooperation in principle. The sketches made are shared with the competent authority.
Spatial substantiation | The research and the responses collected will take the plan for the solar park to a higher level. We take local circumstances into account in the spatial substantiation. We carry out the necessary landscape, nature and archaeological analyses. The feedback from the environment is processed, as is the further elaboration of the landscape architect and the addition of the electrical design. Aber Solar tests the plans on the basis of the Environment and Planning Act.
Permit Application | With this plan for the solar park, Aber Solar will meet with the actors involced to request an permit for our project.
Grid connection request | Aber Solar is applying for the connection of the solar park to the electricity grid. We will contact the parties involved.
Of course together
The arrival of a solar park means a step towards a more sustainable world. When realizing a solar park, Aber Solar looks closely at landscape integration in order to support the natural values of the location as well as possible. Aber Solar is good for:
The natural environment :
- Working with a landscape architect;
- Stimulate biodiversity;
- Preserve and restore native plants.
The local population and entrepreneurs
- Collaborating with local entrepreneurs;
- Stimulate local economy;
- Involve local residents in discussing the integration into the environment;
- Enabling local residents to benefit from the solar park.
With participation opportunities, local cooperation and the right landscape integration, the arrival of a solar park does much more good than just generating clean, renewable energy.
Build
Appoint project manager | The permits have been granted. Preparations for the construction of the solar park are now starting. We sit down together to determine when the deed, the civil engineering preparation and the realization will take place. To ensure this runs smoothly, we assign a personal project manager. He maps out the lead times, which subcontractors are involved and which materials are needed.
Civil engineering preparation | To be able to start building the solar park, a number of preparatory activities will first be carried out. This includes making the site suitable by, for example, constructing maintenance paths and filling in ditches.
Health and Safety Plan | We start by appointing a safety manager and drawing up a Health and Safety plan. This plan describes how the work for the realization of a solar park will be carried out safely.
Kick-off and start of construction period | We are happy to pay attention to the start of the construction of the solar park and organize a kick-off moment where possible. The construction period takes several months; this lead time is considerably shorter than the preparation process. The project manager will keep you informed about the progress of the construction throughout the process.
Connection and opening | When the construction of the solar park is completed, Aber Solar will ensure the connection to the network: the solar park is operational.
Maintenance, monitoring and management
Aber Solar will remain involved even after the realization of the solar park. Together with our partners, we take care of the maintenance and monitoring of the solar park.
