Parsberg Eichensee solar park
ENERPARC AG's Parsberg Eichensee solar park is located 200 metres north of the village of Eichensee on the edge of the Franconian Alb. It was built in August 2019 (first construction phase) and January 2020 (second construction phase) and covers an area of 29.5 hectares. The module tables are relatively close together (approx. 2.3 metres) compared to other facilities examined. Gravel paths have been laid out where the transformers are located. The plant is located in a valley and adapts its shape to the relief.

Natural environment and special features
Franconian Alb
Due to its location on the edge of the Franconian Jura, the surrounding terrain is hilly. The solar park is located directly in the valley and is surrounded on three sides by elevations up to 620 metres high. These are covered with mixed forest. To the south of the plant is arable land and the small village of Eichensee. Of all the facilities analysed in this region, the Eichensee solar park is closest to the US military training area at Hohenfels. This borders directly to the north.
The solar park is located at around 530 metres above sea level. It is located on a slight slope and slopes down towards the south.
There are no biotope areas on the site. A biotope mapping of the neighbouring areas can be found in the appendix of the investigation report.

The frames are anchored to the ground with ramming posts fitted with support struts.
Monofacial modules were installed.

Management
The Eichensee solar park is grazed. The site is divided into sub-areas and each is subjected to impact grazing.
Equalisation measures
The following compensatory measures were implemented in Eichensee:
- Planting measures
- Extensive grassland development through self-vegetation
- Conversion of arable land to grassland to compensate for the skylark (compensation area)
Details can be found in the development plan.
