Powering a commercial district with renewable energy, Linth-Park

Solar | Commercial Building

Euro Estates GmbH has partnered with enshift AG to transform Linth-Park in Uznach, a regional shopping center, into a showcase for renewable energy in the retail sector.

 

The property owner has opted for a PV installation, delivered without any upfront investment under an energy contracting model. The result: a 950 kWp rooftop solar system spanning 4’218 m² – one of the larger installations of its kind in the region.

 

For Euro Estates, the move is both economic and strategic. The system is expected to cut electricity costs by around 20% while reducing CO₂ emissions each year by roughly 40%.

Project details.

Linth-Park brings together a variety of retail and service uses on a single site, creating complex energy requirements. We addressed this with a holistic approach: site analysis, potential assessment, technical planning, and implementation all from one source.

 

The large-scale east–west PV system, covering almost the entire roof, demonstrates how commercial properties can be systematically steered toward climate neutrality. Particular attention was given to integration into the existing infrastructure with minimal intervention and maximum benefit.

 

Thanks to this approach, Coop as a major consumer now draws locally produced solar power straight from the rooftop. This shows a clear sign of both the practical value and the scalability of the concept.

 

As part of the project, enshift also carried out a rooftop renovation, preparing the shopping center for long-term performance. The installation integrates seamlessly with ongoing operations, strengthening resilience while keeping the site fully functional.

 

This project represents a strategic milestone in its partnership with Euro Estates and a benchmark for the next generation of sustainable retail properties.
