Renewable: a heavily polluted area in Germany has become a PV plant of 2.7 MW
In Germany, a 2.7 MW photovoltaic system was installed over an area used for the disposal of acid tar, as a symbol of renewable energy, which takes the place of pollution.
In Neukirchen, Germany, was installed a photovoltaic plant with 11,050 panels to 2.7 MW power. The area, 60 thousand square meters, was once used as a disposal of acid tar and therefore characterized by a high rate of pollution.
The procedure was carried out by the German company Baufeld Oel GMBH and lasted fifteen years, as required by the German Federal Government and the Land of Saxony. The company has reused the acid tar for coal fired power plants.
The reclaimed area was rented for twenty years by K & W Natural Energy which has decided to make this photovoltaic project.
The PV plant was installed in record time. The project began in November 2012 and it has already been completed: it has 11,050 photovoltaic modules of 250 W each one and it was realized by Hanwa Solar One, the global market leader in PV plants.
Not being able to clean up the entire area, it was not possible to anchor to the ground some portions of the plant in order to prevent health hazards: for these areas, the company has opted for a cement floor that has isolated the contaminated land and allowed the anchoring in safety.
