The project, which was designed and installed by IBC Solar Invest in cooperation with the city of Neustrelitz, uses approximately 34,000 IBC Polysol String Ribbon 200, 205 VG solar panels made by Evergreen Solar.
The installation is located on a former Soviet military training base. The project will provide enough electricity to power more than 2,600 homes and will save more than 4,480 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, Evergreen Solar said.
Peter Rusch, Evergreen Solar’s vice president of sales for Europe, Africa and the Middle East, said: “This is a milestone project for Evergreen Solar as we continue to expand our company’s global footprint with the largest installation in company history.
“This project is especially significant as the land on which it is built has been completely remediated by IBC Solar and is now safe for everyday use. This is a significant environmental improvement for the area and is in line with Evergreen Solar’s mission to provide the most environmentally friendly solar panels ever made.”
Evergreen Solar manufactures String Ribbon solar power products using its proprietary wafer technology.
