Power, the solar power system is projected to generate about 15 MW/h of green electricity on a yearly basis, an amount sufficient to cover the needs of around 4,280 three-person households and complements the already existing solar parks Rothenburg I-III (21.8 MWp).Currently the steel profiles are rammed into the earth on which afterwards the in-house developed substructure GehrTec® Base for the solar modules we be installed.
Soar modules from Yingli and BYD will be provided for the 30-hectare site that will encompass the previous military airport of the region. Compared to energy generated from fossil fuels, the plant will save approximately 13,500 tons of CO2 yearly.
“We have had great support in the realization of this project, especially from the political representatives of the city of Rothenburg and the administrative district of Görlitz, but also from the special purpose association of the airport“, emphasizes Klaus Gehrlicher, CEO of Gehrlicher Solar AG. “Gehrlicher Solar’s vision is a sustainable energy supply exclusively from renewable energy. However, all involved partners like airport operator, city, administrative district and local associations can profit from the construction of solar park Rothenburg – above all companies from the region which are used with priority as subcontractors for the construction of the solar park.”
