Bundorf solar park

The Bundorf solar park is located in the Bavarian district of Haßberge, approx. one kilometre north of Bundorf. It was commissioned at the end of 2023 and is the second-largest solar park in this study, covering around 125 hectares. A drainage ditch running from west to east runs through the southern third of the site. A wildlife corridor connects the forest in the north with a two-hectare section of forest in the centre of the solar park.
