- Monte Rosa Hut in Swiss Alps modernized with new battery storage solution
- Solar power ensures sustainable, efficient energy supply
- 8.6 tons of lead batteries replaced with 2.7 tons of lithium batteries
The “Bergkristall” (Mountain Crystal), a mountain hut situated at an altitude of 2,883 meters in the Monte Rosa Massif of the Valais Alps, has been largely energy self-sufficient since 2010. Along with thermal solar collectors, a photovoltaic system integrated in the hut’s southern facade ensures a high degree of energy self-sufficiency and a reliable energy supply. Since 2010, all of the building’s performance data, such as solar energy generated and battery capacity, have been bundled in Siemens Navigator, the cloud-based building performance platform.
