The 400 kWp PV installation has been delivered by SOLARTECHNO in cooperation with TheGROUNDS, a platform for innovative applications for sustainable airports.
The installation will be connected to the grid soon and covers an area of approximately 9,500 m². In total, 31 Power-One AURORA PVI-12.5-TL-FS inverters as well as modules from Scheuten have been deployed. This project is a trial program to examine how future large-scale PV plants could be realized at the airport. The PV installation will provide more than 440,000 kilowatt hours of green energy per year, equaling the energy consumption of 120 average-sized households per year.
Schiphol airport wants to become carbon neutral by the end of 2012. At SOLARTECHNO, we are proud to contribute to this goal of economical and efficient energy management, said Marco Ghirardello, SOLARTECHNO. To realize this project, we decided to implement Power-One inverters as they convinced us by their price/performance-ratio. Moreover, they allow for easy as well as quick installation and maintenance.
We are very pleased that SOLARTECHNO has put their confidence in us and decided to use Power-One inverters, which guarantee a maximum uptime of the new trial program installation. We are looking forward to working together with their experienced team again, said Joseph Maingard, Sales Director Central Europe at Power-One.
