Solnet Group has installed three onsite solar projects at Amazon sites across Germany, in Achim, Sindelfingen and Gattendorf.

The projects, the energy from which will be used directly by the facilities in question, have a combined capacity of 7.8 MWp, with the operation and maintenance of each covered by Solnet Group’s O&M services.

Corporate clients

“These projects are an excellent example of our capability to deliver large-scale onsite solar utilities to corporate clients with the highest quality standards and requirements,” commented Jonatan Höglund, head of international corporates at Solnet Group.

“The solar installations we develop support corporate customers, like Amazon, who are committed to increasing their use of carbon-free electricity.”

Commitment to renewables

The move also marks a further step in Amazon’s push to increase its use of renewable electricity across its facilities in Europe, in line with its Climate Pledge commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its operations by 2040.

Last year, the tech giant was named the top corporate purchaser of renewable energy in Europe, having invested in more than 230 solar and wind projects across the continent during 2024.

In a statement, Solnet Group said that it focuses on proactive maintenance, safety standards and remote monitoring to ensure the reliable operation of solar facilities for its corporate customers, with the company also performing regular maintenance to ensure that said facilities generate the expected yield over their expected lifecycle.

Solnet Group, which boasts offices in the Netherlands, Germany, and Finland, supplies solar PV and battery energy storage solutions (BESS) to businesses across Europe, including Fortune 500 companies, major investment funds, shopping centres, retailers, manufacturing sites, and logistics companies.
