Recurrent Energy has co-developed the solar rooftop project with ProLogis Renewable Energy and ProLogis European Properties (PEPR), an owner of modern distribution facilities in Europe. Recurrent Energy financed, owns and operates the solar power systems.
These rooftop solar systems, which are located on eight of PEPR’s distribution centers in Barcelona and Madrid are grid-connected, feeding all power generated back into the local utility through a feed-in tariff, which Recurrent Energy received in July 2009.
Karl Knight, managing director of international development at Recurrent Energy, said: “We were able to develop and deliver a portfolio of commercial rooftop PV systems in a short timeframe, which is one of the strengths of a distributed generation model.
“The Spanish government policies that support clean energy helped spur the development of these projects that are now delivering a large amount of solar energy right where it’s needed most.”
