Being neighbours

BeGreen develops sustainable solar energy solutions in collaboration with authorities, municipalities, landowners, neighbours and other locally engaged stakeholders. We want to produce renewable energy to create a more sustainable future.

Dialogue

Through an open and respectful dialogue, we try to find solutions that make our solar parks as good as possible for neighbours, the local community, the municipality, wildlife and the climate. This is what we call “The Good Neighbourhood”.

We make an effort to find areas where our operations have the least possible impact on the nearby residents, while at the same time we need to find locations that are strategically right based on a number of parameters.

Those who live closest to our parks are given the opportunity to have some influence, when it comes to, for example, the plantings that are done to reduce visibility and create a living fence around the solar parks.

What’s the process?

There is a lot that has to be considerd when BeGreen builds a solar park. It is a long process from the start of the project until all permits and connection to the grid are in place.

As a neighbour of an upcoming solar park, you can of course have your say. This concretely means that a consultation takes place during the planning phase of a solar park, where a number of interested stakeholders are invited, including neighbours.

In addition, it is of course always possible to contact us directly at BeGreen for individual conversations.

FAQ

We focus on the local area

Landscape

BeGreen offers the opportunity to become a CO2-neutral municipality and thereby contribute to the green transition. We have experience in entering into fixed price agreements for the purchase of green electricity. Such an option will ensure attractive and stable electricity prices for a number of years.

View

At BeGreen, we recognize that becoming a neighbor to a solar park can seem like a big mouthful. That is why we do what we can to make our solar parks as invisible as possible to our neighbors. This means that, for example, we always establish a belt of planting around our parks, so that after just a few years the parks will largely be hidden from the naked eye behind trees and bushes.

Animal life

BeGreen’s solar parks contribute to a rich and varied wildlife by ensuring access for smaller animals and amphibians under the fence that surrounds the parks. At the same time, we make room for the larger animals by building game corridors around or through our parks where the animals have their natural movement. A strong focus on planting locally native plant species also ensures that insects and bees also thrive at our solar parks.

Environment and Biodiversity

When we convert agricultural land into solar parks, we also lend a helping hand to both climate, environment and biodiversity. Solar energy helps to reduce CO2 emissions, our solar parks also help to protect groundwater, as the areas where BeGreen has solar cells are not sprayed with pesticides. In addition, biodiversity increases significantly in the local areas where BeGreen has solar parks, as we ensure that we sow and plant a mixture of grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees.

We focus on the local area​​

We always try to place our solar parks so that they fit into the landscape as well as possible. Therefore, we usually work with areas that are as flat as possible. In addition, the solar parks are placed as close as possible to the local substations, so that we do not have to bury cables over longer distances.

BeGreen understands that it can feel a bit overwhelming to have a solar park as a neighbour. Therefore, we do what we can to ensure that our solar parks are as little visible from the outside as possible. We can, for example, use solar panels in different sizes depending on how close they will be placed to private properties. We also establish plantings around the parks to frame them in the best possible way.

BeGreen's solar parks contribute to a rich and varied wildlife by ensuring that smaller animals and amphibians can get through the hedges or plantings around the parks. At the same time, we create space for the larger animals by building  corridors for wildlife around or through our parks in the places where they naturally tend to move.

A strong planting strategy also ensures that insects and bees also thrive at our solar parks.

When we convert arable land into solar cell installations, we also lend a helping hand to the climate, environment and biodiversity. Since solar energy contributes to reducing CO2 emissions, it is an important factor in the green transition that will avert the climate crisis.

BeGreen's solar parks also contribute to protecting groundwater, as the surfaces on which BeGreen has solar cells are not sprayed with pesticides.

Last, but not least, biodiversity increases markedly in the local areas where BeGreen has solar parks. Namely, we make sure to sow and plant a mixture of grass, flowers, shrubs and trees in and around our parks, so that we ensure a varied nature on areas where previously maybe only one or two crops were sown per year.
