Peaty and organic soils

Stable even in difficult conditions

Organic soils such as peat, humus or bog present a challenge for construction projects due to their soft structure, high water retention and dynamic settling – especially when it comes to installing permanently anchored systems. But these areas often have major potential for photovoltaics, for example on compensation landscapes or fallow wet meadows.

Our mounting systems are designed tailored exactly to these conditions. With flexible foundation techniques, wide-area load distribution and intelligent settlement compensation, they ensure lasting sturdy PV installations, even on demanding substrates – without damaging the sensitive ground structure.

Do you have any questions on this topic? We’ll be happy to help.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Settlement compensation thanks to flexible construction
    Our systems compensate for natural ground movements with elastic connection elements or adjustable foundations.
  • Minimal land disruption
    Instead of localised deep foundations, we work with wide support areas or floating foundation solutions that distribute weight evenly and minimise compaction.
  • No sealing required
    The system is designed for ground-friendly installation – ideal for ecological priority areas or Natura 2000 areas.
  • Suitable for high groundwater levels
    Constructions made of corrosion-resistant material and with a low penetration depth maintain functionality even with regular contact with water.

Good to know:

Depending on the federal state, the installation of PV systems on organic soils may qualify for support as a particularly environmentally sound solution, as it enables the dual use of agriculturally or ecologically valuable land.
