Thirty-one of Power-One’s Aurora PVI-12.5-Tl-FS inverters have been delivered for use at a new PV test facility at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands. The 400kW installation was provided by Solartechno, in cooperation with The Grounds, a platform for innovative applications for sustainable airports.

The companies state that the installation should be connected to the grid soon, with modules supplied by Scheuten. The installation, which is expected to provide 440,000kWh of energy a year, is a trial program to study how future large-scale PV plants could be implemented at the airport.

“Schiphol airport wants to become carbon neutral by the end of 2012. At Solartechno, we are proud to contribute to this goal of economical and efficient energy management,” said Marco Ghirardello, Solartechno. “To realize this project, we decided to implement Power-One inverters as they convinced us by their price/performance-ratio. Moreover, they allow for easy as well as quick installation and maintenance.”

  • 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.
