Greece added over 38MW of new PV capacity in September, down nearly 100MW on new installations in August.

According to official figures from the Hellenic Transmission System Operator, which runs Greece’s power network, the new capacity took the country’s total at the end of September to almost 1.1GW.

The mainland accounted for most of the new PV capacity, with 37MW being installed. However, the 37MW of new capacity added on the mainland in September was substantially down on the 136MW added in August.

Meanwhile, on Greece’s inter-connected islands, total installed PV capacity reached 107.7MW by the end of September, only marginally up on the August figure of 106MW.

The three mainland regions with the most total installed capacity were Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (184MW), South Aegean (152 MW) and Western Greece (123 MW)., while Crete accounted for over half the islands’ capacity, with 71.4MW installed.

  • 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.
