Solar Campus: 250kW PV, 100kW Grid, ÖAMTC EV Charging
Austrian cleantech firm 'wir sind solar' has completed an ambitious corporate charging park in Mannsdorf an der Donau, running almost entirely on self-generated solar power. The campus features 180 kWp rooftop and 70 kWp facade photovoltaics, but is deliberately limited to a 100 kW grid connection, managed via battery storage and energy management to shave peak loads. Six charging points (4 AC, 2 DC) come from ÖAMTC ePower.Business, which also handles maintenance and billing. Since joining the ÖAMTC charging network, the site has seen significantly higher customer frequency due to visibility and roaming. The project demonstrates a business model where solar operators can partner with established CPOs, offering insights into load management and self-consumption. ÖAMTC currently operates around 2,100 charging points and offers roaming to 30,000 more across Austria, priced per kWh.
