Q-Cells has completed the construction of the largest European PV project, located in Brandenburg-Briest. The construction of the 91MW solar park took only eight weeks and the project on the former 200 hectares military base in the east of Germany is equipped with approximately 383,000 Q-Cells crystalline PV modules, with a total capacity of 91MWp.

There are three parts to the project: Brandenburg-Briest West and Brandenburg-Briest East with a combined size of 60MW and Briest-Havelsee, generating an additional 31MW. Briest West and East are both owned by Luxcara, an asset management company in Hamburg while the Briest-Havelsee section was bought by MCG Management in Berlin.

“Q-Cells sets benchmarks when it comes to constructing large-scale plants, for example by deploying the megawatt-block standard that we had developed,” Frank Danielzik, director of systems and operations in Germany, said. “With those standard blocks we ensure higher power output for the plant operator, we speed up the pace of construction work and at the same time minimize operating costs.”
