In Saxony, a state where a rich industrial history meets a high-tech future, VIRDI develops high-performance solar parks to power the next era of innovation. We partner with landowners, industrial companies, and municipalities to transform the region's unique landscapes, including vast post-mining areas, into powerful sources of clean electricity, driving the state's economic transformation and energy transition
Convert your property, especially former mining land (Tagebauflächen) or low-yield agricultural plots, into a secure and highly profitable asset. We offer guaranteed, long-term lease payments, allowing you to play a key role in powering one of Europe's most dynamic high-tech regions with zero financial risk.
Actively manage the Strukturwandel (structural change) by turning former industrial sites into beacons of the energy transition. We help you implement solar projects that generate stable tax revenue and create a sustainable future for your community.
Invest in a stable asset class with unparalleled demand. Large-scale PV projects in Saxony offer reliable returns, backed by the immense energy needs of the "Silicon Saxony" microelectronics cluster and a strong political commitment to decarbonization.
Why Photovoltaics are Crucial for Saxony's Future
Solar energy is a key component for a sustainable and independent future. For Saxony, with its unique industrial profile and geography, the expansion of photovoltaics offers distinct strategic advantages that go beyond just clean power.
Powering "Silicon Saxony" As Europe's leading hub for the microelectronics and semiconductor industry, "Silicon Saxony" has a massive and continuous demand for reliable, green electricity. Locally produced solar power is essential for these global technology leaders to decarbonize their operations, meet sustainability goals, and maintain their competitive edge.
Driving a Successful "Strukturwandel" Solar parks are a key engine for the economic transformation of regions historically dependent on lignite (brown coal) mining, such as the Lausitz (Lusatia). By creating new value on former industrial land, these projects generate local jobs, provide new tax revenue for communities, and symbolize the transition to a modern, green economy.
Unlocking the Potential of Post-Mining Landscapes Saxony possesses a unique advantage: vast, open post-mining landscapes. These areas are ideal for developing large-scale, cost-effective solar parks without competing with prime agricultural land, offering a perfect solution to land-use challenges.
A Strong Political Commitment to Transformation The Saxon state government, along with federal programs, is strongly committed to supporting the Strukturwandel. This creates a highly supportive and predictable political environment for new solar park investments, providing planning security for all partners.
VIRDI possesses the deep local knowledge of Saxony’s political and geographical landscape to bring your solar project to success.
When you partner with VIRDI, you receive a complete, end-to-end service package designed for maximum return with zero risk. We manage every detail of the project lifecycle, from the initial site check to long-term, profitable operation, ensuring a seamless and professional experience.
Our process begins with a comprehensive, no-obligation assessment of your site in Saxony. Our specialists evaluate all critical factors, including the specific geotechnical challenges of post-mining sites, local planning regulations, grid connection capacity, and the region's high solar potential, to design a highly efficient and economically optimized solar park.
Our expert team skillfully navigates the specific approval processes with local authorities and municipalities across Saxony, managing all communication and documentation. Concurrently, we leverage our strong financial partnerships to secure the complete financing for the entire project, removing any financial burden from you.
We manage the entire construction phase of the solar park with a focus on quality and efficiency. We prioritize collaboration with Saxony's highly skilled regional construction partners to strengthen the local economy and ensure a timely and seamless connection to the power grid.
After commissioning, our commitment continues. We remain responsible for the complete technical management and ongoing maintenance of the plant. This includes 24/7 monitoring, regular inspections, and performance optimization to guarantee optimal output and secure your revenue for decades to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
We focus on large-scale projects to ensure economic viability. As a general rule, we evaluate sites in Saxony starting from approximately 5 hectares, but we are particularly interested in the unique opportunities presented by large-scale post-mining landscapes.
A solar park provides a stable source of municipal tax revenue (Gewerbesteuer), involves local businesses during the construction phase, and adds long-term value to the region by revitalizing former industrial land and providing clean power for the high-tech industry.
Our projects secure their cash flow through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) or government-backed feed-in tariffs (EEG). In Saxony, the high and constant demand from the "Silicon Saxony" cluster provides an additional layer of security.
Yes, in many cases. The German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) allows for the development of solar parks on "less-favored" agricultural areas. However, in Saxony, the primary focus is often on utilizing the vast potential of post-mining and conversion sites first.
VIRDI contractually guarantees the complete decommissioning of the plant. All components are professionally removed, and the land is restored to its original condition. Financial provisions for this are secured from the very beginning of the project.
