Rameder. Photovoltaic plant in Thuringia

Due to the worldwide increase in environmental consciousness these last years and the technological advancement in science and technology the generation of solar power in Germany (Thuringia) has grown to be an alternative energy source to be taken seriously.

For some time now we have thought about how we can contribute something to protect the environment in Thuringia. In the framework of research we have decided to use the energy of the sun as additional source of energy. The operation of a an own photovoltaic plant was a decided plan. Examinations have shown that our large warehouse with over 4.700m² surface is the most adequate location for the installation of a 1.600m² large solar plant. Within a few after making all important decisions the work on the plant was commenced. No less than 1.076 solar modules and 9 inverters were installed. Then on 06/10/2010 the moment had finally arrived, a representative of the network operator EON Thuringia turned on our plant for power generation.

Questions and answers

What is photovoltaic?

Photovoltaics is the direct conversion of sun energy into electrical energy. The term „Photovoltaics“ is comprised of the parts Photos – The Greek word for light– and Volta by Alessandro Volta (Pioneer of electrical engineering) . This is also where the term photovoltaic effect comes from.

How do I protect the environment with solar power?

The power that is generated with a solar power plant avoids many tons of CO₂ emissions. In average, approx. 550g/a CO2 are saved per kWh! In Germany 3.6 million tons of emissions were avoided by all the installed solar power plants in the year 2009.

The sun does not shine so often here. Does solar power pay off?

Solar power plants pay off nation-wide: per square meter Germany receives up to 1.200 kilowatt hours of sun energy per year. Solar power plants work effectively and clean. Also with weak light, without direct sunlight, the solar power plants still generate good proceeds.
