Phoenix Solar has signed a general contractor agreement with a US investor for the construction of two solar power plants in Granada, Spain. The ground-mounted power plants will have a nominal power of around 4.7 megawatts in total, which corresponds to a sales volume of around EUR 21 million.
In its role as general contractor, Phoenix Solar AG will build the two ground-mounted power plants using the tried-and-tested thin-film modules of First Solar. Construction work is due to start shortly, and completion has been scheduled for July this year.
“We are very proud to have convinced an American investor of our know-how in the construction of ground-mounted photovoltaic plants in the megawatt class. This contract has brought us a step further in widening our investor basisâ€, said Dr. Andreas Hänel, CEO of Phoenix Solar AG.
That’s good news for the environment – and for Granada.
Does anyone know exactly where the solar power plants will be situated?
I wonder if the solar panels will have the ability to store energy rather than just transferring it immediately. I think the key to solar energy as a real fuel-alternative would be for us to have long-term storage of the energy that we can use when needed.
