- Rooftop solar power plant with a capacity of 4.64 MWp commissioned
according to schedule
- Fast project realization within six months underscores COLEXON´s market
position as a leading system integrator
Hamburg, December 11, 2008 – Today, COLEXON Energy AG grid-connected the
world’s largest rooftop photovoltaic power plant of thin film modules with
a capacity of 4.64 MWp in Hassleben (Brandenburg/Germany) – built in a
construction time of only six months. The project’s order volume amounts to
EUR 17.5 million. Contracting partner is a dutch investor, who also owns
the rooftop via the 'Biogasanlage Hassleben GmbH'. The plant will generate
an estimated electrical power of 4.35 million kilowatt hours per year,
which corresponds to an annual reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of
more than 3,800 tons. Based on the current feed-in-tariff of 43,99 cent/kWh
the installation will generate revenues of more than EUR 1.9 million per
year.
Next to the extremely quick installation of the power plant, another
highlight during construction was the airlift of modules. Due to costs and
efficiency, 10,000 of the total 64,000 First Solar solar modules to be
installed were lifted to the roof by helicopter. With a roof area of
approx. 224,000 sqm, this special way of module transport enabled enormous
time savings.
Thorsten Preugschas, CEO of the COLEXON Energy AG, is proud of the
successful completion of the project: 'With this flagship project we once
again prove our strengths as project developer of large rooftop solar power
systems, demonstrating high product and service quality, quick
implementation and excellent price-performance ratio for our customers.'
Thus, COLEXON once again underlines its position as one of the leading
system integrators in the field of large rooftop PV systems.
For the third time in a row COLEXON sets this world record for powerful
solar rooftop systems. Already in 2006 and 2007, the company had completed
projects in this segment that earned recognition as the world’s largest
solar power plant at that time: The Gescher project (2006) with a capacity
of 1.4 MWp and the Ramstein project (2007) with a capacity of 2.5 MWp.
