Deutsche Bahn’s 3.92MWp PV plant commences operation in Wittenberge, Germany

Deutsche Bahn's 3.9MWp PV plant in Wittenberge, Germany, has begun operation.

German logistics company Deutsche Bahn’s PV plant located in Wittenberge, Germany, has officially commenced operation. The plant was developed in partnership with India-based Moser Baer Clean Energy and has a total capacity of 3.92MWp.

The PV plant has been built on a former landfill covering an area of 8 hectares. Output from the site will be fed into a local grid which, in turn, will help to meet the annual energy needs of around 900 households.

Deutsche Bahn has been actively investing in solar energy in recent years. Since 1997, it has installed a number of PV plants on the rooftops of several railways stations in Germany including Berlin Central Station, Hamelin and Uelzen. Furthermore, the company has identified 3 million ft2 of space for the potential installation of solar plants.

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.
