Phoenix Solar AG builds one of the world's largest photovoltaic power
plants on a carport in Italy
- Solar carport with a peak power of 5.9 megawatts
- Huge market potential in Europe
Sulzemoos, 20 December 2010 / Phoenix Solar AG (ISIN DE000A0BVU93), a
leading international photovoltaic system integrator listed on the German
TecDAX, is building a solar carport on behalf of 'CIC PV Project Piadena KG
der CIC Italia GmbH & Co.' (CIC), a project company held by SOLARWATT PV
Italia GmbH. The carport, which is located on the property of Altmann, a
logistics group, in Piadena, Italy, will have a peak power of 5.9 megawatts
(MWp).
Some 24,700 Solarwatt crystalline modules will be installed on the four
individual surface areas which form the roof of the carport and come to
around 13,000 square metres in total. SMA is supplying the inverters. The
carport has enough space for around 6,000 new cars and fulfils a dual
purpose: The photovoltaic plant on the roof will generate around 6.4
million kilowatt hours of clean electricity a year and, at the same time,
protect the vehicles against the weather and keep them clean. Phoenix Solar
is responsible for the planning, site management and the professional
construction of the solar carport. Construction activities have already
commenced.
'We are delighted that we have been chosen to realise this flagship project
for SOLARWATT PV Italia GmbH and are proud to be building one of the
world's largest solar carports', said Ulrich Reidenbach, Chief Sales
Officer of Phoenix Solar AG. 'We view the dual function of solar carports
as a future-oriented business segment where we have already strongly
positioned ourselves through the megawatt carport completed this year in
Berlin and this new carport.'
'This photovoltaic power plant is a convincing combination of functionality
and sustainable business management', explained Dr Jürgen Müller, managing
director of SOLARWATT PV Italia GmbH and general manager of SOLARWATT AG in
Dresden. 'Phoenix Solar has the know-how and experience in the construction
of carport power plants and was therefore the ideal choice of partner when
the contract for implementing this project was awarded', stated Müller.
