With a clear solar strategy for energy optimization and efficient use of rooftop space, the logistics center in Horsens was designed and constructed to host a large-scale solar installation covering the majority of the available roof area.
In 2023, SolarFuture was awarded the contract as turnkey contractor for the solar project, taking responsibility for design, simulation, project management, and construction oversight.
From the very beginning, the project demanded strong focus on everything from logistics and procurement of the right materials to ensuring smooth execution – a project we are proud to have delivered on schedule and within the proposed budget.
Our ballast systems, also referred to as lightweight systems, are carefully designed to maximize the use of rooftop surfaces without penetrating the roof membrane.
With a strong focus on flexibility and durability, our solutions ensure stable and cost-efficient installations that fit perfectly with different building types and roof structures.
In the DSV logistics center project in Horsens, we applied innovative ballast systems that made it possible to install the solar plant both quickly and safely. The systems are tailored to each building’s needs, supporting the complexity of the solar installation while ensuring safe handling and a sustainable energy supply.

The solar panels used in this installation are selected among the most modern and high-performing panel types available on the market.
We have chosen panels based on Bi-Facial technology, which essentially means that solar cells are placed on both sides of the panel. This ensures increased energy output by utilizing light reflection from the roof surface and during shading periods.
Due to the scale of the project, the panels are delivered directly from the factory, securing some of the highest watt-outputs available among rooftop solar panels.

With a total annual CO₂ reduction of 5,300 tons, DSV demonstrates how renewable energy solutions can provide both environmental and economic benefits.
This investment is a concrete example of how innovative energy initiatives can create value not only for the environment but also for a company’s core business. The solar plant is expected to deliver an annual output of approx. 33 GWh – equivalent to the electricity consumption of 7,300 households (or about 10% of the total annual electricity use of the business sector in Horsens Municipality). A significant step forward on the path to the green transition.
