Company Information

Freiburg (euro adhoc) - Meldorf/Freiburg, Germany, 1/18/2010 - The
largest solar power plant in Schleswig-Holstein set up through
community involvement will be inaugurated today in Nindorf (near
Meldorf), Germany. The ground mounting "Nindorf-Farnewinkel solar
farm" will provide clean solar power to approximately 1,000
households in the region, with a peak capacity of 3.45 megawatts (MW)
on 200,000 m2 of land. The 15,000 modules were provided by
Solar-Fabrik AG, with Aldra Solar as general contractor in charge of
planning and installation. Completed at the end of last year, the
plant will now generate 3.3 million kilowatt hours of solar power
each year. Consequently, it will be possible to save more than 4,400
metric tons of CO2 each year.

The Nindorf-Farnewinkel solar farm is a community initiative set up
by the Nindorf town council, which commissioned Aldra Solar to
implement the project. The project was planned, contracted, and
installed entirely by this local company. 105 limited partners
provided nearly EUR 10 million in financing for the project. Aldra,
the town of Nindorf, and the local water works (in charge of managing
the solar farm) have all acquired shares, too.

Convinced by Good Working Experience with Solar-Fabrik The 15,000
modules provided by Freiburg-based Solar-Fabrik are essential to the
plant. Due to the fact that the reliability and durability of the
components significantly determine the yields of the solar farm,
German products have exclusively been chosen for all photovoltaic
components. "Solar-Fabrik has been our main supplier of modules since
the beginning. We have chosen to use their high-quality products due
to our previous good experience with the company," asserts Bernd
Sönnichsen, Managing Director of Aldra Solar.
