Many commercial and industrial companies use PV systems to reduce their CO² emissions and lower their energy costs. By integrating electricity, heat and mobility, they can exploit useful synergies and kill several birds with one stone via sector coupling. But what is the most economical way to design such systems? Which combinations are worthwhile for whom? And how can companies best implement legal requirements, such as the obligation for parking lot PV in some federal states? We talk about this in this podcast episode with Stefan Reber and Johannes Eisenlohr from focusEnergie.
