The Alte Kaserne Bitterfeld-Wolfen solar PV farm can generate a total output of 10 MW, providing enough power to supply around 2,500 regional households with clean energy. The plant was developed, constructed and grid-connected by the ISM Group in only six months with high quality solar modules supplied by Hanwha Q Cells.
The 38,456 Q.PRO-G3 solar modules will generate around 11 gigawatt hours (GWh) of clean energy per year, providing around one third of the electricity requirement of the grid company, Netzgesellschaft Bitterfeld-Wolfen.
ISM Group and Hanwha Q Cells believe that the project provides a clear demonstration of the ability to build solar power plants quickly and efficiently and to operate them cost-effectively. Other partners involved in the project were the Baumann Rechtsanwalte Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB, which provided legal advice, financing partner Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) and Schneider Electric which supplied the high quality inverter.
“My heartfelt thanks go to all the partners, who have been involved in connecting this plant to the grid in record time and in a highly professional manner” said Tobias Schmidt, shareholder of ISM Group, at the ceremonial launch of the power plant which took place on June 19, 2015. “The solar modules are of particular importance for the profitability of the power plant. The outstanding performance output of Q Cells modules under weak light, for instance in the evening or on cloudy days, as well as their quality and reliability, make the decisive difference.”
Mario Schulte, Account Manager at Hanwha Q Cells, added that the company is delighted to have worked with ISM Group and that it will continue to do so in the future.
Hanwha Q Cells is based in Seoul, South Korea, and Thalheim, Germany, and is the world’s largest solar cell manufacturer as well as one of the world’s largest PV module manufacturers. It has a growing global business network extending across Europe, North America, Asia, South America, Africa and the Middle East.
The ISM Group is a successful and rapidly growing solar power installer, based in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany. It currently has over 500 MW of installed PV capacity in Germany and Europe, including private rooftop systems and flat roof solutions for commerce and industry, right up to large ground-mounted projects.
