The rooftop power plant in Moshav Gan HaShomron was installed by Solenergy. aleo solar’s local partner will also install three more PV power plants using aleo modules before the end of 2009. “We chose aleo modules because of their extraordinarily high yields and reliability,” explains Amit Leventer, Solenergy’s CEO. “These modules ensure that we can meet our own high standards of quality for photovoltaic installations.”
The PV market in Israel is gathering pace, following the introduction of a feed-in subsidy 2008. Operators of rooftop systems with a rated output under 50 kW receive the equivalent of EUR 0.36 per kWh over a period of 20 years. “In many places in Israel, annual insolation exceeds 2,000 kilowatt-hours per square meter,” comments Pascal Bertolone, director market development at aleo solar. “Insolation levels as high as these make Israel’s feed-in subsidy extremely attractive.” The module specialist aleo solar is therefore expecting strong growth in the Israeli PV market.
