For efficient realisation

The successful realisation of photovoltaic systems requires far more than just high-quality components and modules. Precise planning, solid technical analyses and optimum use of space are crucial to ensure maximum efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness. Gebhardt Energy supports its customers with comprehensive services ranging from area planning to static calculations and ground analyses.

Precise planning for sustainable photovoltaic solutions

We support our customers with a wide range of specialised services that cover all planning and engineering services for successful project implementation. Our service portfolio ranges from the initial area analysisand the creation of pile-driving and occupancy plans to static calculations and ground analyses. We rely on state-of-the-art technologies, sound engineering expertise and practical solutions that fulfil both the structural requirements and the economic framework conditions.

Our customised planning and engineering services help to make projects efficient, sustainable and future-proof. We take into account not only the structural and technical requirements, but also ecological and economic factors. The aim is to develop a solution that both guarantees optimum energy generation and offers economic benefits - from the initial planning phase through to final implementation.

Pile driving and occupancy plans

Well thought-out planning is the basis for a successful photovoltaic system. Our pile driving and layout plans ensure that the area is optimally utilised and the PV modules are efficiently arranged. We cater to the individual needs of our customers and take into account important factors such as:

  • Optimised use of space - maximising PV output per square metre, taking into account the conditions on site.
  • Technical and structural requirements - alignment of the PV modules according to the terrain, wind and snow loads as well as the planned installation systems.

Static calculations

The loads caused by wind, snow or seismic activity place high demands on the load-bearing capacity of photovoltaic systems. Inadequate statics can lead to structural problems that impair both the service life and the efficiency of the system.

Our structural calculations guarantee:

  • Maximum stability and safety - Detailed analyses of load-bearing capacity, material loading and anchoring to ensure long-term safety.
  • Customised adaptation to site conditions - consideration of wind load zones, snow loads and ground conditions for customised planning.

Extraction tests

The ground is a decisive factor for the stability and longevity of a photovoltaic system. In the case of ground-mounted systems in particular, the supporting structures must be securely anchored in the ground in order to withstand the effects of wind and weather.

With our extraction tests, we analyse the load-bearing capacity of the ground and determine the optimum anchoring methods. We use state-of-the-art testing methods to ensure that the structure remains stable in the long term.

Our geotechnical analyses include:

  • Pull-out tests for optimum anchoring solutions - determining the required penetration depth and fixing methods for maximum stability.
  • Customised recommendations for foundations and installation systems - Tailored solutions for each site to ensure a safe installation.
