In the Czech city of Hodonice, the German solar power group SolarWorld AG yesterday opened a solar farm with a capacity of 2.2 megawatt together with its partners Renoenergie and Soleg. In the vicinity of the metropolis of Brno, a total of 12,000 SolarWorld modules are generating enough power to meets the needs of more than 2,000 people. The Czech Republic, whose funding system for solar power is fashioned along the lines of the German law on renewable energies (EEG), is one of the most promising European growth markets for solar energy.
On the roof of the Orange County Convention Center, the second largest conference and exhibition center in the U.S., SolarWorld modules with a total capacity of one megawatt started generating clean electricity this month. This system is the largest on-roof solar power plant in the sunshine state of Florida and one of the biggest in the entire U.S. The operator is the regional utility OUC. With the supply of the solar modules the German solar group underlines its claim of playing a major role in the growing US market. Already today SolarWorld is the leading solar technology manufacturer in the U.S. with its production facilities in California, Oregon and Washington state.
A SolarWorld solar power plant is now also generating clean power on the area of the former Federal German Parliament (Bundestag), where 284 modules with a total output capacity of 52.5 kilowatt adorn the roof of what is the World Conference Center today. The order was placed by the Bonn city utility and installed by the installation partner Thermovolt.
“We are active here in Germany on the spot, but are expanding our worldwide business at the same time,” said Frank H. Asbeck, chairman and CEO of SolarWorld AG. In the process
SolarWorld offers top quality for single family homes and large-scale power plants alike. “House owners receive their own savings bank on the roof from us – clean power and maximum yields from their own roo,” he said. “For larger investors we offer perfect solutions both for flat roofs and for open fields.”
