The proposed agreement includes the planning, engineering, procurement and construction of the ground-mounted solar power plant.

Solon’s monocrystalline Black 280/11 modules will be used in this PV power plant, which is being built on three-hectare grounds of a former tin-ore processing plant.

Once construction is complete, the power plant will generate about 1.25 million kWh of emission-free power annually.

Solon CEO Stefan Sauberlich said that with the ‘UK Clean Energy Cashback’ scheme launched in April 2010, the UK has created the basis for the nationwide expansion of renewable energy and is promoting the use of photovoltaics.

“By offering attractive subsidies without market caps and for 25-year periods, the UK, which receives just about as much sunlight as Germany in terms of geography, is viewed as market with massive growth potential,” Sauberlich said.
