Juwi completes 40MW Waldpolenz plant

The juwi group announced the completion of the Waldpolenz energy park in Brandis, in eastern Germany, ahead of schedule in December 2008. The 40MW plant has a surface area of more than 100 hectares and consists of over half a million thin-film modules supplied by First Solar. Juwi acted as general contractor, overseeing the site’s construction, planning and logistics management.

“We’ve completed a one-of-a-kind project in which grid connection happened even faster than we anticipated,” said Ingo Rödner, juwi’s Branch Director. Co-CEO Matthias Willenbacher added, “Free-standing solar power stations are extremely important, not only for climate protection, but also to advance solar energy as a whole. They help drive down the cost of solar energy and make it more competitive.”

  • 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.
