The solar park will be constructed on a former dumpsite and is expected to be connected to the grid in June 2010. The new project is expected to supply electricity to approximately 1,970 households and save approximately 3,990 tons of carbon dioxide per year.
Peter Xie, president of Solarfun, said: “We are pleased that EnBW decided to choose our high-quality modules for this new project in Germany. EnBW is an important new customer and we look forward to building a long-term relationship with EnBW.
“Renewable energy continues to play an important role in Germany and we are happy that our advanced technology will be serving the people of Baden-Wuerttemberg for many years to come.”
EnBW plans to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix to 20% by 2020. In doing so, the company intends to focus on the expansion of wind energy and hydropower and on further developing technologies such as solar energy, biomass and biogas.
