The main idea behind the Next2Sun – plant concept is the vertical installation of specific solar modules which are able to utilize light from both sides ("bifacial" modules). The two sides of the modules are facing East and West, leading to peak in energy generation during mid-morning and in the evening. The areas between the rows of modules can continue to be used for agriculture and the resulting flower strips provide space for endangered insects and many bird species.
Additionally we also offer the bifacial solar fence that combines durable enclosures with solar electricity generation and attractive design. With other words, the fence that pays back.
