Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) was pleased to provide its modules for what is being hailed as the largest solar rooftop system in Northern Europe. The PV installation, located on the headquarters of Danish insurance company Topdanmark, was constructed by DrivhusEffekten and connected to the grid on August 17.

The rooftop PV system has an annual production capacity of 752,000kWh and uses 3,042 REC Peak Energy Series modules, which were supplied by EWS. “We are very pleased that DrivhusEffekten recommended REC modules for this large project”, said Luc Graré, senior vice president sales and marketing cells and modules, REC Solar. “With retail electricity prices in Denmark higher than the actual cost of solar systems, we see a promising potential for the Danish solar market. Another benefit is net-metering that allows customers to use and get credit for unused electricity thereby reducing their energy bill.”

  • 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.
