Photovoltaik - Schott Solar and Stadtwerke Mainz to Build Solar Park in Ilfeld
12.06.2011 Mainz, GermanyConsumers will soon be able to rely on clean solar electricity from the Southern Harz now that Mainz Solar GmbH is installing a solar system in Ilfeld that will feature 24,000 modules. Mainz Solar is a joint venture between SCHOTT Solar and Stadtwerke Mainz AG. 3 S Solarstrom GmbH is both the project developer and the general contractor for this solar park. Following its expected completion in December of 2011, the system will generate about 5.25 gigawatt-hours of electricity each year and feed it into E.ON Thüringen’s grid. In purely mathematical terms, this would allow for the entire population of Ilfeld of around 3,000 to be supplied with green electricity.
"This system sends a signal that extends well beyond Ilfeld and the Southern Harz and proves that, with the appropriate will, it is already possible, at least in mathematical terms, to supply 100% of the population with environmentally friendly electricity. Ilfeld has good reason to feel proud that its name will now be associated with a good share of pioneering work," notes the mayor of the community, René Schröter-Appenrodt (CDU).
The two Managing Directors of Mainz Solar are also quite pleased with their collaboration with the community of Ilfeld, the property owners and 3 S Solarstrom GmbH: "Thanks to how smoothly the respective parties have been working together, we will be able to complete this project on schedule," Stephan Krome and Burkhard Söhngen both note.
