By Greentech Lead Team: Canadian Solar, a solar company,
has supplied 2,800 solar modules for a rooftop system in the Danish city of
Virum. The 605 kW solar installation is the largest PV system in Denmark,
located north of Copenhagen.
SRU Solar AG, based in the city of Berga in
Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, has constructed the PV system in cooperation with the
young Danish energy company Greengo Energy.
“To us, the successful completion of the PV project
is a milestone for the development of the Danish PV market. The good
cooperation with our partners and the high-performing and excellent quality of
the components used were of paramount importance in this project,” said
Matthias Schonhard, member of the board at SRU Solar AG and head of the
project.
The solar modules installed on two roofs of an office
complex located in Virum. The solar system has been connected to the public
grid in January 2012. The installation represents Greengo Energy’s strategy to
install PV systems on commercial roofs and to supply companies with solar power
at prices below the market average.
“We are proud that SRU Solar and Greengo Energy have
selected Canadian Solar modules. The project is a major step forward for the
Danish PV market. Solar energy offers great potential for a cost-effective and
reliable source of electricity, particularly in countries with a highly
decentralized structure like Denmark with its many small islands. We look
forward to continuing our support of the growing Danish PV market by providing
tailored solutions where needed,” said Shawn Qu, chairman and CEO of
Canadian Solar.
Recently, Canadian Solar, HelioPower and Giumarra
Vineyards announced the completion
of a 516 kilowatt (kW) dc commercial photovoltaic (PV) system in Bakersfield,
Calif.
