EGW GESCHER SOLAR POWER PLANT 1.43 MWp

March 2006 saw the completion of what was at the time one of the world's largest photovoltaic rooftop systems made of First Solar thin film modules with an output of 1.43 MWp. This facility, which has a total output of 1.2 million kilowatt hours, provides enough electricity for around 300 four-person households. At the same time, it makes a lasting contribution to climate protection through its savings in the region of 1,200 tons of CO2 per year.
