Greece: Conergy completes another 1 MW solar park on the Hellenic peninsula

The dynamic course of Conergy Greece continues in 2012, despite the ongoing economic crisis in the country. After a successful 2011 with many projects in Greece, the solar experts completed another 1 megawatt solar park Volos in the north of Greece. The park is located in the industrial area of the city.

Greece’s ongoing financial problems do not affect Conergy’s commitment in the country’s solar market: „The country benefits from very high irradiation levels and its Renewable Energy market is an important pillar for Greece’s economy,” says Conergy Greece boss Stefanos Melissopoulos. “Therefore, the Greek market is and will be an important market for Conergy and we see a lot of potential there – despite the difficult financial situation of the country.”

Conergy entered the Greek solar market already back in 2004 and has been one of the market leaders ever since. “In the future, we aim at maintaining and further expanding our strong market position in the country. With this new solar park, we highlight once again our key player position as well as our dedication,” continues Melissopoulos.

In the new solar park in Volos more than 4,000 Conergy PowerPlus 230P modules in combination with 2 central inverter stations will produce more than 1,400 megawatt-hours of clean solar energy annually. The solar park, which covers approximately 20,000 square meters, will help to avoid the emission of more than 1,200 tons of CO2 per year.

Mr. Peter Keil, legal representative of Leventeris Energiaki says: “We are delighted to partner with Conergy, a leading company in the field of photovoltaics. Their product quality and technical excellence make sure that our investment is secure. With our new park we invest in our country in a time of an economic crisis. This is crucial for the national economy as well as for the green development of our country”.
