System supplier's Spanish solar parks on average exceed forecast yield by 5%.

Hamburg / Madrid, 20 March 2012 – Just a few weeks after the grid connection of a 5.3 megawatt Conergy solar park in Murcia, the Hamburg-based system supplier is now announcing another success story in the neighbouring region of Andalucía. Conergy has sold its 2.3 megawatt grid-connected solar park to Ellomay Capital Ltd. This solar power plant, located close to the city of Córdoba, is exclusively equipped with Conergy components from its own manufacturing facilities.

"Nearly 2,800 hours of sunshine a year and irradiation levels in southern Spain of around 2,000 kilowatt hours per square metre make this is an extremely attractive location for solar power plants", says Luis Jimenez Gutierrez, Managing Director of Conergy Spain. "And thanks to the careful design process and our perfectly-matched components, our solar parks on average exceed forecast yield by 5%. Both of these factors make them an interesting proposition for investors".

The region's long hours of sunshine make it attractive for investment and tourism alike, and it is also well on the way to achieving grid parity – the point at which energy from solar power, without subsidies, is as cheap as power generated from finite fossil or nuclear energy sources. The Conergy solar park is another step down this path. On its 20-acre site – around four times the size of the famous Moorish "Mezquita de Córdoba" – more than 10,500 PowerPlus modules generate clean energy on over 13 miles of SolarLinea mounting systems. Each year, around 3.5 million kilowatt hours of solar power feeds 21 IPG 110 K central inverters in southern Spain's electricity grid. In this way, the Conergy power plant produces enough electricity to supply around 1,300 homes in Andalucía – or about three-quarters of the population of nearby Villafranca de Córdoba. At the same time, the solar park saves on the production of more than 1,700 tonnes of harmful CO2 emissions each year.
