Solar power plants are among the greenest forms of energy generation, producing no noise or emissions whatsoever. And unlike wind turbines, photovoltaic systems have a typical height of just 1–2 metres, and so hardly spoil the countryside. What’s more, the construction of a photovoltaic system has little impact on the environment.
BENEFITS OF A SOLAR POWER SYSTEM:
Very low maintenance
Apart from cleaning, maintenance of green areas and the occasional replacement of micro components, there are hardly any maintenance or servicing costs for a photovoltaics plant over the entire term.
Competitive with fossil power sources
Assuming a moderate increase in electricity prices, photovoltaic plants are increasingly approaching the prime costs of conventional power generation. This is already the case now in some developing countries and high solar radiation areas in southern Europe.
Fast to build
In comparison with conventional power plants, a large-scale plant can be started up very quickly through efficient planning and standardized construction processes, not to mention the appointment of proven, well-coordinated partners and suppliers and the high degree of system standardization
100 % scalable and modular
In addition to being adaptable to local circumstances, solar power stations are also scalable in size. Combined with a modular design, solar plants are the most flexible form of power plant.
Large CARBON Reduction
Every MWp of installed PV power in a sunny place saves up to 1,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.
