The biggest photovoltaic park of 5 MW power was certified by TÜV AUSTRIA HELLAS LTD in Northern Greece. On the 13th of December 2010, the largest photovoltaic park ever to be constructed in Greece, was successfully completed by ENERGIAKI VOGIATZI S.A. The park has a 5 MWp capacity and was built in Drama’s industrial area, located in Northern Greece. TUV AUSTRIA HELLAS LTD inspectors audited the whole project during all stages, such as civil engineering, electrical / mechanical engineering and the connection with the Public Power Corporation grid. The detailed checks included the delivery process. 25 TÜV AUSTRIA HELLAS LTD on-site audits ensured the high quality of the project. Several companies were involved in the project: “POSITIVE ENERGY” was the main contractor for the photovoltaic park. “CONERGY” was responsible for the design and the procurement of equipment, as well as work supervision. “ILIOMICHANIKI” carried out the construction and the supporting structure. The photovoltaic system was implemented with 9 central power converter CONERGY CIS 540 (S) stations. It consists of 22.704 solar panels (type: Conergy PowerPlus 220P ) provided by the company Conergy, with 220W rated power and 516 aluminum support systems (“ATLAS P20-30”), all certified by TÜV AUSTRIA HELLAS according to the EuroCode 1, 3 & 9 and to the Greek anti-seismic regulation 2000 (Ε.Α.Κ. 2000). The environmental benefits of the photovoltaic system are expected to be particularly impressive. The unit will be able to produce about 7.2 GWh of electrical power on an annual basis, which will meet the electricity needs of more than 1,600 households. This will result in a reduction of 7,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year, which is equivalent to the amount absorbed by a forest of 350.000 trees. It is expected to save around 140.000 tons of CO2 emissions in its 20-year operation. With its great experience and competence, TUV AUSTRIA HELLAS LTD contributes effectively to environmental protection and sustainable development by performing inspections and certifications of high quality and reliable green energy production projects.
