After a visit on the site, which is a former town landfill, representatives of Photon Energy were personally greeted by the Mayor of Ellrich in the City Hall. Having clarified final details regarding the future solar power plant, Matthias Ehrhold, Ellrichs Bürgermeister, and Peter Romanowski, Photon Energys Country Head for Germany, signed and sealed the agreement to complete the construction of the solar park in the presence of local media.
Then, a friendly handshake followed, indicating an opportunity for potential further cooperation.
"A solar park puts the brownfield of the former landfill area to a great use. In Ellrich, we are happy to mark the first open field installation of Photon Energy in Germany", enthused Mayor Ehrhold.
Home to 3,000 people, Ellrich is a typical German town with an 800-year-old history just one kilometre away from the former border between East and West Germany. The plot for construction is located within the precincts of the town, enabling its dwellers to use the electricity produced from the sun in their everyday lives.
"This project is a definite step forward in our strategy to become a recognized player on the German PV market", announced Peter Romanowski.
