Germans fire up single-axis tracker PV giant

• 10MW Lottorf center in Schleswig-Flensburg/Schleswig-Holstein will certainly be broadened by 7MW in the next year

Wattmanufactur has actually begun procedures at Germany's largest single-axis tracker solar park.

The 10MW plant, in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg/Schleswig-Holstein, has a single-axis tracker system that adheres to the sun from east to west.

Compared to standard static setups, the solar park will produce substantially a lot more energy in the morning as well as night hrs from its 23,184 bifacial solar components. These technologies will certainly allow extra consistent power manufacturing throughout the day.

The Lottorf solar park additionally follows the current grid link guidelines and also can make a vital payment to grid stability by giving responsive power during the day and also during the night.

After 4 months of building and construction, the EEG (Renewable Energy Sources Act)-eligible plant was attached to the grid of Schleswig-Holstein Netz.

In the coming year, the total output of the ecologically designed solar park will be broadened by an additional 7MW, bringing the overall to 17MW.

The plant makes use of 92 M88H inverters from Delta Electronics.

By integrating technological advancement with expertise of lasting land use, Wattmanufactur established an eco-friendly land management idea that is especially tailored to the website of the former elevated bog.

Using turning modules maximises the shading possibility of the soil, yet at the same time continues to provide a full-surface irrigation possibility.

This allows the previously intensively handled peatland soil to recover and go back to its most important function of carbon sequestration.

Considerable grassland monitoring is also part of the ecological land management of the solar park.

Rows of flowers as well as cautious mowing advertise the emergence of bugs and also birds, as the bugs do not get involved in the mower during mowing.

Additionally, the solar park includes huge locations with weakened bird protection areas for ground-nesting birds such as skylarks and lapwings, which are safeguarded from predators.
