Greentech Lead Europe: Gehrlicher Solar has
successfully completed connecting its Perleberg solar park with 35 MWp nominal
capacity in record time after just two and a half months of construction.
The solar power system is located halfway between Hamburg
and Berlin and is expected to produce about 33 million kilowatt hours of
environmentally friendly solar power annually, an amount sufficient to cover
the needs of around 9,300 three-person households.
Due to the solar park’s high capacity, the company also
built a separate expandable 110 kV transformer station, which served to connect
the solar park to the grid on August 23 and has been providing full power input
reliably ever since. Compared to electricity generated from fossil fuels,
starting immediately, the plant will save approximately 32,000 tons of CO2 annually.
The solar park was built on the grounds of the former
military airport Perleberg and comprises 90 hectares, an overall area
corresponding to the size of approx. 125 soccer fields. The 144,144
modules were manufactured by Yingli, and 39 inverters by market leader SMA.
About 500 km of cable were used in this project. At times the site employed up
to 120 installers.
“We are especially grateful to the policy makers at
the City of Perleberg and District of Prignitz as well as the authorities in
charge, such as the Perleberg building authority. In addition, we would also
like to thank the two former property owners, the Brandenburg Land Association
for Land Use and Management (Brandenburgische Boden Gesellschaft für
Grundstücksverwaltung und -verwertung mbH (BBG)) and the Federal Agency for
Real Estate Management (Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben (BImA)), as well
as the Aero-Club Perleberg e.V. for their excellent cooperation at all times,”
said Klaus Gehrlicher, CEO of Gehrlicher Solar.
The solar park’s official dedication is planned for
mid-October with numerous city and district politicians in attendance.
