A home for the electric EULE.
Solar hangar, storage and charging infrastructure as one coordinated concept for airfields, clubs and sharing locations.
Concept visualization
One site. One energy system.
The solar hangar combines space for three motor gliders with local generation, energy storage and six charging points for the airside and landside.

Landside and airside. Supplied together.
Energy is distributed where it is needed. Cars charge in the parking area and aircraft on the airside – from the same local system.
From the roof to the aircraft.
Four elements are planned as one system – supporting electric airfield operations without separate infrastructure islands.
- 01
Generate
64 kWp of photovoltaics produce energy directly at the hangar.
- 02
Store
80 kWh of storage buffers generation and consumption at the site.
- 03
Distribute
The system supplies six Type 2 charge points with a maximum combined output of 60 kW.
- 04
Use
Aircraft and cars charge in their respective operating areas.
EDHG reference
The infrastructure already exists.
At Lüneburg Airfield (EDHG), a completed project demonstrates how solar area, hangar and separated charging zones can work together: four charge points for cars and two for aircraft on the airfield.
Built for shared electric flying.
The solar hangar gives the EULE sharing model a suitable home base: central hangarage, on-site charging and infrastructure shared by the fleet.
One shared base
Aircraft, energy and charging points are brought together at one location.
Designed for 15 metres
Three hangar spaces account for the EULE's full wingspan.
A scalable site model
The concept is aimed at airfields, clubs and future sharing locations.
Solar hangar questions
What does the solar hangar concept include?
The concept combines a hangar for three motor gliders with 64 kWp of photovoltaics, 80 kWh of battery storage and six Type 2 charging points. The final technical and structural design is planned for each site.
How many aircraft fit in the hangar?
The solar hangar is designed for three motor gliders, each with a 15-metre wingspan. This makes the concept suitable for the full-span Altus-based EULE.
How is charging capacity distributed?
The concept provides six Type 2 charging points with up to 22 kW each and a maximum combined output of 60 kW. At the EDHG reference site, four are on the car side and two on the airfield side.
Is the solar hangar fully off-grid?
The current concept is described as an off-grid solar hangar with its own photovoltaics and storage. Whether and how a specific site can operate independently of the grid is part of the site-specific design.
How does the hangar support the EULE sharing model?
A shared site brings hangarage and charging infrastructure together for several aircraft. This allows a EULE flight-hour subscription or sharing offer to operate from one central home base.
