About

Sonnenberg-Issigau is a private headquartered in Issigau, Germany specializing in Solar.

Sonnenberg-Issigau is developing a unique large-scale solar photovoltaic project on 58 hectares near Issigau, Bavaria. The project integrates dual land use through agrivoltaic practices, allowing continued agricultural activity including livestock grazing and beekeeping beneath solar modules. The facility is designed with comprehensive landscape integration using native hedges and plantings to minimize visual impact. Key features include: (1) A citizen crowdinvestment model allowing residents to invest from €100 to €25,000 with 4% guaranteed returns; (2) A "Bürgerstrom20" tariff offering a 20-year fixed electricity price guarantee to local residents; (3) Direct energy supply to local industries via power purchase agreements; (4) Municipal participation options with secure revenue streams for community projects; (5) Full technical optimization including 25% facility size reduction while maintaining economic viability; (6) Comprehensive environmental planning including bird and insect habitat restoration. The project requires successful citizen voting and final permitting before crowdinvestment launch and construction. It supports Bavaria's climate neutrality goals by 2040 while providing economic benefits including job security, regional energy independence, and agricultural income diversification.
