Solar energy: a strategic tool for mobility professionals

TSG is helping companies across Europe accelerate their energy transition with integrated solutions that combine renewable generation, storage, mobility, and smart management.

As the mobility ecosystem electrifies, energy sourcing is becoming a decisive operational challenge. For fleet operators, retailers and energy distributors, solar power is emerging as more than just a sustainable option: it’s a concrete answer to the growing complexity of managing energy on-site.

Integrating energy at the heart of mobility

With the deployment of EV charging infrastructure accelerating, many operators are now confronted with new energy constraints. Connection delays, grid limitations and on-site capacity issues increasingly interfere with installation schedules — especially when high-power chargers are involved.

In this context, solar energy, combined with battery storage, offers a credible solution to secure and optimise energy usage locally.

Some regulatory frameworks are reinforcing this dynamic. In France, for example, all parking areas over 1,500 m² will be required to include solar canopies in the coming years. Other European countries are tightening their emission thresholds or offering new incentives for on-site production and self-consumption.

By combining photovoltaic systems with smart integration, solar energy allows logistics platforms, forecourts and mobility hubs to meet part of their own demand, reduce dependency on the grid, and create new headroom for infrastructure development — particularly for EV charging.

From ambition to delivery: the integration challenge

For many operators, going solar is no longer a strategic debate — it’s an operational one. The real challenge lies in turning solar into a functional, reliable system that fits with existing infrastructure, charging needs and regulatory constraints.

A successful project must be precisely sized, technically compatible with local systems, and able to interact with transformers, batteries and charging stations already in place. It also requires close attention to performance tracking, safety and maintenance over time.

That’s where TSG brings value. The Group supports clients across Europe with the ability to deliver fully integrated solar installations — not just panels, but systems that work. From feasibility studies and permitting to civil engineering, electrical integration, and long-term maintenance, every stage is handled with professional mobility needs in mind.

Each installation is designed according to the site’s energy profile, usage patterns and technical constraints. This integrated approach allows clients to accelerate deployment, reduce coordination complexity, and ensure consistent performance — whether it’s a retail chain deploying 20 similar sites or a logistics platform with custom load profiles.

Examples from the field: tailored, not templated

In Italy, a multi-phase rooftop installation now exceeding 1MWp combines solar generation with battery storage and peak shaving. The system helps reduce electricity costs while securing the charging infrastructure of a large logistics operator.

In Denmark, TSG is nearing completion of the first phase of the Sorø Solar Park, which combines 11 MW of solar capacity with a 5 MW battery energy storage system. Among the clients benefiting from this infrastructure is biotech company Gubra, which will operate a 2 MW solar and battery system to power its facilities with 100% renewable energy and enhance its energy flexibility.

In Spain, a 300kW battery system was deployed by TSG at a fast-charging hub to compensate for limited grid capacity. The storage unit buffers demand during peak hours, reducing the strain on local infrastructure and ensuring charger availability.

In Central Europe, TSG has deployed a large-scale integrated solution at a major industrial site, combining solar panels, fast-charging infrastructure, and battery storage to ensure reliable operation and optimize energy flows, even in areas with grid limitations.

In each case, the configuration is adjusted to reflect not only regulatory or grid conditions, but the operational priorities of the client — whether it’s business continuity, speed of rollout, or performance guarantees.

Battery storage: enabling performance, not just backup

For many sites, battery integration is not optional. It plays a critical role in making solar viable for mobility operations.

TSG integrates battery storage systems to store excess solar production for later use, stabilise energy flows on-site, and reduce grid dependency during high-demand periods. These systems are particularly useful in locations where grid capacity is limited or reinforcement timelines are uncertain.

At Trieste Airport, for example, TSG co-developed a 3MWh battery installation in combination with a large-scale solar project. The system enables the airport to meet up to 80% of its daytime energy demand with self-generated electricity, while powering mobility infrastructure and terminal operations — even during consumption peaks.

This ability to absorb and redistribute energy locally helps operators avoid costly upgrades, while also boosting their energy resilience.

A changing market — and a need for clarity

While solar energy adoption continues to grow, the mid-sized B2B segment — between 50kWp and 2MWp — remains structurally underserved. Clients in this range often fall between two market extremes: local installers without integration capacity, and utility-scale developers focusing on large infrastructure projects.

TSG positions itself in this strategic middle ground. With pan-European coverage and industrial execution standards, the Group provides consistent, scalable support to mobility professionals — helping them deploy solar solutions aligned with their needs, timelines and technical contexts.

Making energy work for operations

When properly deployed, solar energy becomes more than a source of sustainability — it becomes an enabler of operational stability and long-term value.

For professional clients, this means having reliable access to power for EV charging, lowering exposure to energy price volatility, and creating the conditions for greater autonomy on-site. It also means ensuring compliance with regulations and anticipating future demands — without compromising on safety, performance or business continuity.

TSG’s approach is based on one idea: that integrating energy systems is the key to making the mobility transition work. And solar is now a critical part of that equation.
