Ground-mounted photovoltaic system & transformer
A new ground-mounted photovoltaic plant with a nominal output of 3,234 kilowatts is currently being built in Rödinghausen-Bruchmühlen. On an area of around 2.5 hectares along the railway line on „Schwarzer Weg“, the Faber Energy Group from Bünde is building a plant that will be able to supply around 711 single-family homes with environmentally friendly electricity every year.
A modern power supply system ensures that the electricity generated is fed into the grid efficiently. Transformer compact station, perfectly tailored to the requirements of Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems is harmonised.
The energy is generated directly on site via a Transformer station fed into the public grid.
Regional value creation and energy supply
„The solar plant in Rödinghausen, right on our doorstep, is not our biggest project - but it is a very special one due to its proximity,“ says Managing Director Hermann Kromm.
Only a few minutes separate the site from the company headquarters in Bünde, where solar plants are planned, grid connections designed, concrete stations poured and switchgear built. The majority of the added value is created in the region: from project development to construction readiness and installation, the project is realised entirely by the team in Bünde. The fitters are also permanently employed by the Faber Energy Group.
The entire value creation process - from planning to grid connection - takes place regionally, supported by our compact stations from our own production.
Every transformer station from Faber E-Tec stands for quality, precision and a reliable power supply made in Germany.
Three million kilowatt hours of green electricity per year
From next year, the plant will generate around 3 million kilowatt hours of green electricity per year. The grid connection is expected to take place in November 2025.
There are also plans to retrofit a battery storage system with a capacity of over 6 megawatt hours - more than 60 times the capacity of a large electric car battery.
This ensures a stable and efficient energy supply.
The system relies on a powerful compact transformer station from Faber E-Tec to ensure that the green electricity generated can be transmitted efficiently and safely. This ensures a stable voltage and maximum operational reliability throughout the entire grid network.
Significance for the municipality of Rödinghausen
„This ground-mounted photovoltaic system is an important pilot project for the efficient use of renewable energy,“ emphasises Mayor Siegfried Lux. The municipality is supporting the project with the equivalent of 5,000 ecological value units, approved by the Environment, Climate and Mobility Committee.
A hedge will be planted in the direction of the residential areas to mark the boundary, the area will be landscaped with greenery and compensatory measures will take place directly on the site on „Schwarzer Weg“. For Rödinghausen, the project not only means progress, but also a strengthening of the regional infrastructure. The use of modern transformer stations and compact stations will create a future-proof basis for sustainable energy supply in the region.
Charging infrastructure
Our e-mobility transformer stations are specially designed to reliably supply charging infrastructure of any size with energy. Whether a fast-charging park or company site - every Kompakt transformer station is customised to the power requirements.
Technology from Bünde: Faber E-Tec and Faber Solartechnik in action
In this project, the technical components and installations come from our own ranks:
- Faber E-Tec supplies the compact transformer stations and switching technology,
- Faber Solartechnik realises the installation of the photovoltaic modules,
- The Faber Energy Group is responsible for planning and project management.
This means that the entire energy infrastructure - from the PV system to the transformer station to the grid connection - is realised from a single source. Proven solutions from Bünde are used for the implementation: Faber E-Tec supplies the compact transformer stations and switching technology, while Faber Solartechnik realises the photovoltaic installation. This results in complete solutions with perfectly harmonised compact station technology.
Outlook: Energy for the next 30 years
„Battery storage is absolutely essential to compensate for fluctuations in electricity generation,“ explains Managing Director Hermann Kromm. Once connected to the grid, the system is expected to supply clean electricity for at least 30 years, making a valuable contribution to the regional energy transition.
We will continue to rely on state-of-the-art transformer stations and compact stations that are designed for decades of reliable operation. Each compact transformer station is designed in such a way that it can be flexibly expanded and adapted to new energy requirements.
Buy transformer compact station
At Faber E-Tec we develop and manufacture Transformer stations and Compact transformer stations, designed for almost every scenario and every energy application - from photovoltaic and wind farms to industrial plants and e-mobility projects through to BESS-systems (Battery Energy Storage Systems).
Our solutions are individually planned, delivered ready for installation and guarantee maximum reliability - Made in Germany, from the Medium voltage up to the last plug connection.

Sustainable energy - directly from our region!
Sustainable energy directly from our home - a project that is particularly close to our hearts. 💚 A new ground-mounted photovoltaic system is currently being built in Rödinghausen, planned and realised by the Faber Energy Group from Bünde. Just a few minutes away from our headquarters, another step towards a clean and regional energy supply is being taken. Together with the municipality of Rödinghausen, we are creating a link between progress and home - with energy that lasts. ⚡
