5.3 MW Grid Connected Power Plant In Spain
A solar park equipped by Conergy has been connected to
the grid in southern Spain. On an area of almost 89 acres near the town of
Mazarrón in the Murcia region, the two local Conergy partners Valfortec and
Solaer installed components from the system supplier. Now more than 22,000
modules on more than 31 miles of Conergy SolarLinea mounting systems are
producing clean energy here.
It is the complete package that gave Conergy the edge:
"For us as a solar specialist, optimised complete solutions, quality and
reliable guarantees represent the ultimate package. Conergy offers solar
technology that combines these characteristics in its entire product range, but
also in its services and especially in its guarantees," says Fidel Roig,
Valfortec's Managing Director. Ignacio Arganza, Solaer's Managing Director,
adds: "We have installed Conergy components with a total output of more than 20
MW since 2009 and we are fully convinced. These products deliver high yields,
are easy to configure and to install. And Conergy provides first class
technical support."
With close to 2,800 hours of sunshine a year and an
irradiation level exceeding 1,700 kilowatt hours per square metre, southern
Spain also represents an extremely attractive location for solar plants. The
new Conergy park will generate more than 8.1 gigawatt hours of clean energy
annually, sufficient to supply 2,700 households throughout the year. At the
same time, the solar park will prevent the emission of over 4,000 tons of CO2.
"Currently, it is
only possible to construct and connect projects that were approved before the
moratorium, such as the Conergy park near Mazarrón," says Luis Jiménez
Gutierrez, Managing Director of Conergy Spain. "Obviously, a moratorium is
never a cause for joy. But according to its own statements, the government is
holding firm to its view that there will be some appropriate support measures
to smooth the path of Spain's photovoltaic sector towards grid parity. We are
therefore definitely optimistic and expect the government to implement measures
in this area in the near future, which will ensure planning security for the
entire industry."
