The rooftop power plant in Moshav Gan HaShomron was installed by Solenergy, aleo solar's local partner.

Solenergy will also install three more photovoltaic power plants using aleo modules before the end of the year, taking the total output of aleo modules in Israel to more than 200 kW. "We chose aleo modules because of their extraordinarily high yields and reliability," explains Amit Leventer, Solenergy's CEO. "These modules ensure that we can meet our own high standards of quality for photovoltaic installations."

The photovoltaics market in Israel is gathering pace, following the introduction of a feed-in subsidy last year. Operators of rooftop systems with a rated output under 50 kW receive the equivalent of €0.36 per kilowatt-hour over a period of 20 years, and aleo solar is therefore expecting strong growth in the Israeli PV market.

"In many places in Israel, annual insolation exceeds 2,000 kilowatt-hours per square metre," comments Pascal Bertolone, Director Market Development at aleo solar AG. "Insolation levels as high as these make Israel's feed-in subsidy extremely attractive."
