Continuing the cooperation with GSW Gold SolarWind Management in Aiterhofen, aleo solar will supply solar modules to be installed at an 850kW solar farm in Straßkirchen in the Straubing-Boden district of Bavaria. A total of 3,300 aleo type S_18 modules will be installed on a fixed mounting system supplied by Krinner Schraubfundamente based in Straßkirchen. The S_18 modules are expected to yield 900,000kWh of energy annually.

GSW founder and managing director Josef Gold said, "We make a point of investing the capital entrusted to us by our investors only in solar projects with high-quality components. The aleo modules and 78 inverters from SMA, which we also procure through aleo solar, meet this high standard. Additionally, our solar farms create value in the region since the funds will generate profits and the taxes will remain in the local area. The mounting system will also be supplied and installed by a local company, Krinner Schraubfundamente GmbH."

Heiner Willers, COO of aleo solar said, "Our philosophy of cooperative growth enables us to retain customers for many years. An experienced partner like GSW shows that companies specializing in photovoltaics can execute a wide variety of different rooftop and ground-mounted solar projects. We vouch for excellent quality, high yields and outstanding service, and these criteria form the basis for attractive investment opportunities in photovoltaics."

A building permit has been granted for the solar power plant, which is expected to be connected to the grid by December 2009.
