Scheuten Solar and Solar Umbria have signed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the supply and installation of approximately 15,000 photovoltaic modules on four separate sites in Gualdo Tadino, Umbria, Italy.
A full scope O&M contract was also signed for the project, which is to be developed by Neu Solar, which will feature as an investor and main shareholder, and EGBM which will act as shareholder and main subcontractor.
As the main contractor, Scheuten Solar is responsible for the development and turnkey realization of the installation of the solar modules, to be mounted on 747 single axis tracking systems, each with an output of 4.5kWp.
“With these new projects we not only create an additional footprint in the Italian market but we also show our capability to develop and realize large PV projects from start to end. Furthermore, working together with these well renowned partners is a boost for further activities in Italy,” said Ad Verbaas, director project development at Scheuten Solar.
The completion of the installations is expected before the end of 2010.
