Maxx-solar & energy oversaw the installation of the 3,000 modules and 42 inverters supplied by IBC SOLAR together with two local craft businesses.

Located on 7,000sq m of roof, the solar power plant will produce about 600,000kWh of solar energy per year saving 370 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Maxx-solar & energy photovoltaic specialist general manager Dieter Ortmann said the free state of Thuringia is committed to renewable energies and the number of photovoltaic systems continues to grow.

As the photovoltaic plant was finalized and connected to the grid in 2011, the energy it supplies will be compensated with 25.86 Euro Cent per kWh.
