SUNfarming has added 5 solar parks with a total capacity of 35 MW to the grid in the United Kingdom, within the deadline of 31/03/2015!
 

Together with our British partner, Ethical Power ltd., we succeeded, in the record time of 4 months, in completing 5 solar parks, including transformers and grid connection, by 31/03 of this year. One of the solar parks was the largest SUNfarming project to date, with 12 MW of installed capacity. The park is situated in the south west of England, near Exeter.

The 6.5 MW Parkview project is a project developed wholly by SUNfarming UK. from the search for a site to grid requests and building approval.
Up to 200 construction staff and engineers were active on the sites at peak periods. Particularly challenging were the two solar parks Parkview (6.5 MW) and Bower House (9.3 MW), which were installed in a record time of 6 and 5 weeks respectively. In addition, the soil conditions and wet winter weather also presented new challenges on the Lower Newton project (12 MW).
 
SUNfarming was able to primarily supply quality-tested SUNfarming solar modules. The substructures were supplied by our sister company Solprime, of Kiel, with all inverter modules sourced from SMA. Cables, accessories and transformers were also supplied from Germany – assuring top SUNfarming quality and smooth-running procedures.
SUNetik, our SUNfarming joint venture in the UK, organised the funding of all of the projects. The solar parks were sold to financial investors and a municipality.
 
With the successful, high-quality completion of the solar parks we anticipate realising a further minimum 50 MW in the next 12 months in the United Kingdom, together with investors and project developers.
