Successful construction progress of Carinthia’s largest photovoltaic plant!

Treibach, Althofen: The large-scale PV project in Treibach, Althofen, is progressing according to plan and is something to be proud of. In cooperation with Treibacher Industrie AG (TIAG), KPV Solar is building an impressive photovoltaic power plant here. On an area of seven hectares, more than 13,000 modules are being erected on two sub-areas with a total of 734 module tables with 18 modules each. With an output of 7.3 MWp, the plant will produce around 8.5 GWh of electricity per year, covering almost ten percent of the company’s electricity needs and saving 5,760 tonnes of CO2 per year.

A special highlight are the 22 module tables on the south side of the 250m long noise wall. The previously fallow area of the 33° sloping earth wall will be ideally used for electricity production in the future. Completion of the project is scheduled for the end of August 2023.

KPV Solar quadruples output of Energie AG plant in Eberstalzell

THE SOLAR CAMPUS WAS ENLARGED

KPV Solar quadruples output of Energie AG plant in Eberstalzell

The trusting cooperation between KPV Solar and Energie AG, which has existed for more than 10 years, has led to the implementation of a new project.
This partnership began with the development and construction of power plants for Energie AG in Italy.

This year, the largest PV research facility in Eberstalzell was supplemented by a technically independent plant. The existing plant at Energie AG’s SolarCampus has already been supplying electricity from solar energy since 2010. The addition of further PV modules now fully uses the existing space and even quadruples the power plant’s output.

This has increased the generation capacity by 3.327.28 kWp, so that in future 1.200 instead of the original 300 households can be supplied with clean PV-electricity from Eberstalzell.

In this second construction phase, 8.746 380 Wp modules from JA Solar were installed on FS Uno substructures from Schletter, in combination with 28 inverters SUN2000 100KTL-M1 from Huawei.

What is special about the project is that that existing plant has not only been extended to the south and north, adjacent to the existing system, but also the area between the existing module rows has been used.

Modultyp: JA Solar JAM60S20 380/MR

Module Quantity: 8.756 Stk.

Inverter: Huawei SUN2000 100KTL-M1

Inverter Quantity: 28

Substructure: Schletter FS Uno

Power: 3.327,28 kWp

Largest solar thermal plant in Austria opened

Solar thermal plant in Friesach inaugurated

largest solar thermal plant in Austria opened

In Friesach in the Carinthian district of St.Veit an der Glan the largest solar thermal plant in Austria was recently opened. Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) and Governor Peter Kaiser (SPÖ) were present at the opening.

On an area of 5,700 square meters, KPV Solar has installed a solar thermal system with 436 large-area collectors from the austrian manufacturer GreenOneTec. The operator is Unser Kraftwerk, which initiated the project through citizen participation. As usual, committed citizens were able to participate in the project and receive an annual payment.

The generated heat is fed into the district heating network of Kelag Wärme GmbH via a 1000 m³ buffer storage tank and distributed from there to the district heating customers in Friesach. The plant thus supplies, in the summer months, the complete hot water demand of the regional district heating customers.

The plant generates an output of 2.5 gigawatt hours, which corresponds to an annual consumption of 500 apartments.

AAE Naturstrom combines photovoltaik energy production with agricultural landuse

The family business AAE Naturstrom presents a new concept in power generation

Wilfried Klauss, CEO of AAE Naturstrom, has presented a new project, which recently went into operation. The agricultural solar farm enables the simultaneous use of open spaces for solar power generation and agricultural cultivation.

The entire planning and construction of the solar farm was carried out by KPV-Solar. After the completion of the third stage of expansion, the plant will produce electricity for up to 2800 single-family homes.

In addition, a large-scale battery system will be installed in the solar farm, which will maintain the supply for up to two hours in the event of a blackout. The installed photovoltaic roofs are suitable for mechanical management and also allow regulation of shade or irrigation. By mounting the photovoltaic roofs on stands, only 13 percent of the area is lost, allowing for agricultural use. For example, AAE Naturstrom would like to use the area for sheep pasture, beekeeping, or growing sunflowers or organic grains.

Work on large-scale solar thermal power plant progress

Mar 18, 2021

The work on the construction of the large-scale solar thermal power plant for district heating in Friesach is progressing.

“The steel construction for the 1,000 cubic meter heat storage has already been completed. The next step is to coat the heat accumulator with insulating material, ”says Gerhard Rabensteiner from “Unser Kraftwerk”

KPV Solar builds for VERBUND and OMV

Oct 16, 2020

The largest ground mounted PV power plant in Austria is being built on around 13 hectares in Schönkirchen, Lower Austria. The project is a cooperation between the two largest industrial companies in Austria – Verbund and OMV – for a period of 30 years. As an EPC company, KPV Solar takes on the construction of the power plant.

In the first expansion phase, a total of 34,600 PV modules installed in an east-west orientation generate 10.96 GWh of solar electricity, which corresponds roughly to the annual electricity consumption of 3,400 households and saves the equivalent of around 8,000 tonnes of CO2. Despite Corona-related delivery restrictions, the construction progress was kept on schedule and in the final expansion stage, the plant will be supplemented by another 10,400 PV modules by the end of 2021. This will increase the total output to 14.85 MWp with a generation of 14.25 GWh, which corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of 4,400 households and saves an additional 2,400 tonnes of CO2 per year.
