Solar park Röhm

Zoom

Ecologically oriented recreational facility

Röhm Sun Park in Upper Swabia, Germany, was introduced to the public in an inaugural celebration on 15/06/07. This solar power plant, on the former site of a gravel excavation area belonging to the company Röhm, was built as the first construction project for a new holiday and leisure park which is situated south of Ulm, and which has an ecological tourist orientation. With a total capacity of 1.06 MWp, the power plant now ensures the leisure park‘s energy supply, and thus serves as a basis for all subsequent construction projects.

The system, with a total of 6,524 Phoenix PHX-160V modules, was constructed in a record time of just 23 workdays – an achievement which was only possible due to extraordinary construction cooperation between the projectpartners Phoenix Solar, Lörz & Company and the company Röhm. Thus, the earthwork and the installation of the fencelines were conducted by Röhm, and the subsequent realisation of the substructure as well as the installation of the modules and of the two central inverters was performed by Phoenix Solar.

Thanks to Phoenix Solar‘s reliable project management, it was possible to connect the solar power plant to EnBW Biberach‘s grid already in December 2006, which was highly
advantageous for the customer, as the more favourable feed-in tariffs of 2006 could be used for the next 20 years.
