Capital Stage to Build 10.5 MW Solar Park
SCHOTT Solar AG is currently supplying 45,000 solar modules with a total output of 10.5 MW peak for a new Capital Stage AG project. Capital Stage is currently developing, financing and building the Solarpark Roitzsch in the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld. In total, a park with an output in the area of around 13 MW is planned. Hatob GmbH is responsible for the construction work as the general contractor. The solar power plant is expected to connect with the grid already by the end of the year and then generate approximately 12.8 million kilowatt hours of power.
Solarpark Roitzsch will receive remuneration of approx. 22 euro cents for each kilowatt hour of power it generates for 20 years, as called for by the EEG (Renewable Energy Sources Act). To make sure the park generates the highest possible power yields for this entire period and many years beyond, Capital Stage, the company responsible for this project, elected to use high-performance modules from SCHOTT Solar. The German PV manufacturer already has more than 50 years of experience and is known for its high-quality, long-lasting products. Each of the 45,000 of these polycrystalline modules that SCHOTT Solar will be delivering for the project has an output of 230 Watts peak.
“We attach a great deal of importance to the durability of the modules we install in our solar parks. In SCHOTT Solar, we not only found a reliable supplier for the Roitzsch project who guarantees first-class quality, we also view SCHOTT Solar to be a partner with whom we will be able to extend our cooperation even further and thus expand our solar park business in a consistent manner to the benefit of both parties,” notes Felix Goedhart, Chairman of the Board of Management of Capital Stage AG. The company currently owns and operates solar parks with a total capacity of 94 MW and is thus Germany's largest independent power producer. The company decided to enter the project development business this year, rather than investing solely in turnkey parks, as it did in the past.
“With Solarpark Roitzsch, we are now able to add yet another major project to our reference list,” says Burkhard Söhngen, the Vice President responsible for the project business at SCHOTT Solar, and then points to the flexible service offerings the "SCHOTT Solar Power Projects" business unit offers. The company brings all of its photovoltaic project activities together inside this unit which range from direct sales of modules to project planners like Capital Stage to providing support on developing and realizing or even selling turnkey power plants to investors.
Both companies intend to continue their successful relationship by working together on other solar projects in the future.
