Build

We work with hundreds of experts across Europe who have developed considerable technical and engineering skills to ensure the best results in all areas of delivery. This ranges from site design, project management, component procurement, civil and electrical works, measurement, commissioning to plant monitoring and maintenance.

Our services meet the highest quality standards and are provided in strict compliance with safety and quality regulations. We are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

Project Management

We employ enthusiastic construction managers and organizationally savvy project managers who coordinate all construction and electrical work. The main objectives are to ensure construction is on schedule, within budget and to achieve a high standard of work.

Purchasing and logistics

Our purchasing department ensures a seamless supply of project materials across the PV and EV charging infrastructure market. We also provide all construction equipment and site facilities.

Construction work

The first steps before starting the construction of the PV plant in the open area are mainly fencing, temporary construction connections and earthworks such as clearing the area, levelling the ground, access roads, etc.

Pile driving & Pre-drilling

We pile-drive steel columns of ground power plant structures using our own machines operated by experienced machinists. We will also frame and pre-drill your project of any size.

Mounting System & Solar Panels

Our company is experienced in the installation of most commonly available substructures, both on rooftops and ground-mounted installations including reclaimed landfills. We believe that the mounting system is one of the most important and most underestimated parts of a PV system, the correct choice of which can significantly improve the economics of a project such as speed of installation, durability, minimal maintenance and maximum reliability applies to rotating systems. Thanks to our long-term cooperation with proven manufacturers, we are able to supply all materials in addition to the installation itself.

Electro installation

Our qualified teams will provide electrical installation work in the low voltage range up to 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC, including all measurements, thermal imaging, commissioning and diagnostics. High voltage work is provided in conjunction with our HV equipment suppliers. We are also holders of the Czech certificate of Electrical Installer of Photovoltaic Systems (26-014-H), which is a condition for carrying out work on projects with state support.

Rooftops

Rooftop solar power plants are installations on the roofs of buildings that generate electricity from the sun on areas that would otherwise remain unused.

Charging infrastructure

We will prepare a tailor-made solution according to current and future requirements for the provision of infrastructure for charging electric vehicles and green energy production and storage.

Carports

We specialize in the construction of carports. These are carports made of steel, aluminium, wood or a combination of these materials that are built on outdoor areas, e.g. at car parks of production or logistics halls, shopping centres or large car parks at motorways, airports, etc. This is construction in the true sense of the word, with high demands placed on the safety and stability of the structures.

Solar energy production

Carports are mainly built as solar carports. This means that photovoltaic panels are placed on the roof of the carport, and the whole system hides the additional infrastructure needed to produce green electricity from solar energy. The carport also provides protection for parked vehicles and their occupants from adverse weather conditions.

Battery energy storage system

The photovoltaic system can be supplemented with a battery storage for storing the energy generated. Large-capacity battery energy storage systems (BESS) thus allow independence from the grid electricity supply and greater energy stability.

Why install battery storage systems?

Large-scale battery storage systems are crucial for stabilizing the energy grid, especially with the growing share of renewable sources like solar and wind, which have variable production. These systems store excess energy when production exceeds demand and release it when needed, ensuring greater efficiency of renewable resources. They reduce reliance on fossil fuels and enhance the stability and reliability of energy supply within the grid, making them an essential component of modern energy infrastructure.

Installation of battery systems

Greenbuddies teams are experienced in the installation of battery systems within the EU. The typical scope of services offered are:

  • Preparation of foundations for containers, civil works
  • Placement of containers
  • Completing and installation of the battery modules
  • Stringing 
  • Commissioning of the battery (in cooperation with the manufacturer)

Lightweight panels

Many industrial roofs previously could not undergo solar installations due to the high weight load of standard systems. At Greenbuddies, we found a solution in collaboration with Sunman, the manufacturer of eArc flexible lightweight panels that weigh 70% less than standard panels. These panels allow PV to be installed on buildings with low roof load capacities and are ideal for older structures that were not designed for heavy loads.

Ultralight panels for structurally unsuitable roofs

Overcoming the challenges of installing solar panels on industrial roofs
 

A significant number of rooftops on industrial buildings have not yet been able to install rooftop solar power systems because the building permits for these buildings do not allow the installation of standard rooftop systems due to the high weight loads of these systems.

 

The main aspect in this issue is the statics and the resulting potential for roof loads on the system. A conventional load-bearing system is 20-25 kg/m2, a system with lightweight panels is 5-7 kg/m2. Ultralight technology is thus an ideal solution for buildings that are older and where high loads were not considered at all during their design and construction.

 

At Greenbuddies, we are concerned with this issue and have therefore established a partnership with Sunman, a manufacturer of flexible lightweight eArc panels that allow PV to be installed on buildings that are structurally unsuitable for ballasted systems.
