RWE SCHOTT Solar GmbH Solar energy: Major project goes online January 9, 2004 saw one of the world's largest solar power plants in Neustadt, Germany join the grid. A total of 2 megawatts of environmentally friendly electricity will be generated over an area of some 70,000 m2 (7 hectares) – corresponding to the size of 7 soccer fields. This is enough to continuously power 700 households. At the heart of this project are around 7,000 high-output ASE-300-DG-FT modules made by RWE SCHOTT Solar, rated best of its class by the German consumer watchdog Stiftung Warentest in 1999. “With our entry into the renewable energy sector, we expect to make a long term contribution to clean energy supply.”, says Dr. Udo Ungeheuer, Chairman of the management board at SCHOTT GLAS. The modules are attached to gabions, special baskets filled with stone that are considered ecologically valuable biotopes. The plant will be run by Pfalzsolar GmbH, a 50:50 joint venture between RWE SCHOTT Solar GmbH and Pfalzwerke Projektbeteiligungsgesellschaft mbH based in Neustadt. Pfalzsolar is responsible for the planning, installation and financing of the photovoltaic systems. The Neustadt project is the first for this company and was planned and installed on a former military base in a record time of just 6 months. The particularly fine summer last year provided operators of solar plants with an average 10 percent higher yield. The Neustadt location – in one of Germany's winegrowing regions – promises continual profitability, as the average solar radiation is well above 1,000 kWh per m² each year. There are also sunny times ahead for photovoltaics in the political arena. Due to the widespread consensus regarding photovoltaics as part of the law governing renewable energies, a solid political basis has been created for the solar energy sector. This means investors can count on guaranteed yields in future, too.
