The period of execution of the works has lasted from June to December 2011, culminating in this inauguration ceremony with the beginning of the operation of the facility.
It is a single installation on the roof of logistics warehouse number 8 of the Cim del Camp, with a nominal power of 950 kw.
The plant has 3,891 modules, with a total solar collection area of 7,730 m2 and a peak power of 1073 m2, which will produce 1.55 MWh/year of electricity annually, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 520 homes. All this will have an environmental benefit, thanks to the annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Siemens has been responsible for the execution of the facility, whose investment has been assumed by Alter Enersun and in return for the operation of the facility for 25 years, CIMALSA, without having assumed any cost, will receive extraordinary income throughout its operation.
