Masdar PV supplies modules to solar park in Northern India

Ichtershausen (ots) - Grid connection of 11,000 thin-film modules
already finished / Modules' excellent characteristics ensure
consistently high energy yields

The emerging solar market in India represents an important sales
area for Masdar PV, the innovative producer of large-area thin-film
photovoltaic products. Recently, a ground-mounted solar park with a
total capacity of 1MW was built in Roorkee, about 180 kilometers
north of New Delhi. Around 11,000 thin-film modules from Masdar PV
are now feeding electricity from a renewable resource into the local
power grid there. Metro Frozen Pvt Ltd is the park's operator and the
investor.

Masdar PV's well tested, 1.4 m² large a-Si modules are in use in
the plant, covering an area of about 25,000 m² in the Indian district
of Haridwar, two-hours drive south from the Himalayas. It was above
all the products' characteristics, particularly advantageous in
conditions like those on the Indian subcontinent that won over the
plant's Indian investor and operator. The local conditions play
directly to the strengths of Masdar PV's technology, because the
thin-film products from Masdar PV provide constant energy yields even
in diffuse light conditions and high ambient temperatures. So the new
solar park can produce green energy for around 2,600 households, thus
contributing to a secure and decentralized power supply for the
region.
