Photovoltaics

Construction has started on a 20 MW solar photovoltaics power system in Trujillo, Cáceres. Costing €150m, the new plant will have double the output of the 10MW Bavaria Solar Park in Germany. The project will use 200 100kW units (120,000 PV modules in total), gaining the top feed-in tariff for this type of plant.

In addition the 20.1 MW Cádiz solar power plant is going to be built in the Guadarranque industrial park in San Roque (Cadiz). Once completed, the plant will have a production capacity of 36 GWh per year. Construction on the first stage of the plant has begun and it will cover 37 hectares and produce 12.3 MW of installed power.

BP Solar has begun constructing a new solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing plant at its European headquarters in Tres Cantos, Madrid. For phase one of the Madrid expansion, BP Solar is aiming to expand its annual cell capacity from 55 MW to around 300 MW. Construction of this facility is underway, with the first manufacturing line expected to be fully operational this year. The new cell lines will use innovative screen-printing technology. By fully automating wafer handling, the manufacturing lines will be able to handle the very thinnest of wafers available and ensure the highest quality. Thin wafers are of particular importance since there has been a silicon shortage in recent years.

Since the beginning of 2007, Aleo Solar AG has also been manufacturing high-quality solar modules for the Spanish market at its own factory in Santa Maria de Palautordera near Barcelona
