Meet Spectrum: 3Bee cutting-edge bioacoustic IoT sensor, designed to revolutionise environmental monitoring. By continuously tracking the flight frequencies of pollinator insects, Spectrum provides real-time insights of their numbers and diversity reflecting the health of our ecosystems.

3Bee technology stands as a crucial asset for monitoring and developing strategies to enhance biodiversity within photovoltaic, agrivoltaic, biogas, and wind energy sites. As the energy production sector increasingly prioritises biodiversity, the integration of innovative, science-driven solutions has become essential. These advancements are the key to driving a responsible energy future—one that respects both the environment and the communities it serves.

The Agethorst PV Project is a large-scale solar plant with a capacity of 71 MW, supplying 68,000 MWh of clean solar energy annually. This project provides renewable energy to 18,000 households and spans an area of over 60 hectares.

The Lärz Rechlin commercial solar plant has a capacity of 32 MW, supplying solar energy to 10,000 households. It meets strict aviation safety requirements and integrates a 7 MWh battery storage system to ensure energy efficiency even during low sunlight periods.

PV+ESS enhances grid integration of PV power. PV + agriculture increases benefits. By installing solar panels above crops, farmers can generate clean energy while supporting plant growth. The panels provide shade and reduce water evaporation, which helps keep soil moisture stable and can increase crop yield. In turn, plants below the panels cool the environment through evapotranspiration, which enhances solar panel efficiency by reducing heat. This synergy not only optimizes land use, but also promotes biodiversity and improves habitats for livestock.

The world's first energy self-sufficient cable car on the Zwölferhorn in St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang in Austria: from April to September, the cable car is now completely energy self-sufficient thanks to a PV system with battery storage. If you look at the entire year, the energy generation far exceeds the cable car's own requirements. One third of the electricity is surplus production that can be fed into the local public grid. This special solution was realised by the company Synecotec, which mounted the K2 SolidRail Alpin on a steel substructure.

The solar PV stations are located in the area of Kassandra, Halkidiki, Greece, and are part of Mygdonea energy community.
