Waldpolenz Solar Park

Waldpolenz Solar Park

Waldpolenz Solar Park, which will be the world’s largest thin-film photovoltaic (PV) power system, is being built by Juwi at a former military air base to the east of Leipzig in Germany. The power plant will be a 40-megawatt solar power system using state-of-the-art thin film technology, and should be finished by the end of 2009. [ [http://www.solarbuzz.com/News/NewsEUPR331.htm Building Approval Granted for 40 MW Photovoltaic Project] ] 550,000 First Solar thin-film modules will be used, which will supply 40,000 MWh of electricity per year.

The installation will be in the Muldentalkreis district in the state of Saxony in eastern Germany, to be built on half of the location’s 220 hectares in the townships of Brandis and Bennewitz. The investment cost for the Waldpolenz solar park amounts to some Euro 130 million. [ [http://www.solarbuzz.com/News/NewsEUPR331.htm Building Approval Granted for 40 MW Photovoltaic Project] ]

As of June 25, 2008, 350,000 of the 550,000 thin film modules had been installed, with completion planned for 2009. [ [http://thoughtsonglobalwarming.blogspot.com/2008/06/worlds-largest-thin-film-solar-farm.html World's Largest Thin Film Solar Farm Goes Online] ]
