The landfill in Lilla Nyby, ie the old covered landfill where everything possible was thrown away without sorting before, is moving and a bit down in the ground you do not know exactly what is hiding.
In other words, it is an area that is not suitable for use in anything.
Foundation on top of the ground
- The soil has some settlements because it is about organic material that decays.
There is a waterproofing layer about a meter below us and it must not be punctured.
It is not possible to build anything here.
But the foundations for the solar park will be on top of the ground.
If the scaffolding is built a little flexible so that it does not follow the movements in the ground, there should be no problems, says Kent Briby.
This is a visionary picture of what a completely finished landfill body of 25-30 hectares, clad with solar cells, could look like.
The area that will be equipped with solar cells is now much smaller - just over one hectare.

Tony Roos is the project manager for the new solar cell park and according to him the area is well suited for solar cells in particular.
- You do not really think about it, but this area is high in Eskilstuna, it is important for the radiation, he says.
Capacity in the electricity grid
But there are some technical obstacles.
- It's about the capacity of the electricity grid.
We can not build bigger than we do now, says Tony Roos.
If the electricity grid is one day expanded and the capacity increases, the idea is that the park can be expanded further.
In the clip, Tony Roos and Kent Briby talk about, among other things, how big the new solar cell park will be and what the electricity produced will be enough for.
