Conergy has constructed its fourth PV solar plant for German private investor Stephan Johannsen. The plant has a capacity of 3.4MW and closely follows the inauguration of the 8MW PV plant in Grimmen in March, which Conergy also built for the investor.

This latest solar park is located in Worpswede, Germany, and is part of the local project Energiewende Osterholz 2030 (Osterholz Energy Transition 2030). The park covers an area of 8 hectares and houses some 14,000 Conergy PowerPlus modules on around 16 kilometres of Conergy SolarLinea ground-mounted systems. There are also around 35 kilometres of solar cable laid out across the site which transports solar power from the modules to the ten Conergy IPG 300C central inverters, which feed the 3.1 million kWh of solar power into the Worpswede grid every year.

As general contractor, Congery held the responsibility of designing and engineering the park. It also constructed and supplied all of the components. Reon, a developer of renewable energy projects based in Worpswede, also gave a hand in developing this solar park. Reon has been involved in Osterholz Energy Transition 2030 a as project developer since the local project started.

So far, Conergy has installed more than 25MW of solar in capacity for Stephen Johannsen. “Conergy has been collaborating with us on our solar projects as a consistently competent and extremely reliable partner – for free-field as well as rooftop plants,” said Stephan Johannsen. “We have already installed over 25 megawatts of solar capacity together. With the power plant in Worpswede, we are jointly expanding our commitment to renewable energies in the region. Conergy is supplying us with everything from a single source and in genuine ‘Made in Germany’ quality, from the components from its own manufacture to the installation. Our experiences with their services have been outstanding and we shall continue putting our trust in them.”

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.

  • Manufacturing The Solar Future: The 2013 Production Annual

    In the ever-changing global solar markets, cost reduction and measures to increase cell efficiencies are the key tools available to PV manufacturers to create new opportunities and drive your business to the next level. Manufacturing the Solar Future 2013 is the third in the Photovoltaics International PV Production Annual series, delivering the next instalment of in-depth technical manufacturing information on PV production processes designed to help you gain the competitive edge.
