The Lauingen Energy Park is a 25.7–megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power station, located in Bavarian Swabia, Germany. It covers an area of 63 hectares (155.7 acres) and was commissioned in June 2010.[2]
The project was built in three phases:
- The 10.0 MW Helmeringen 1 (already commissioned in 2009)
- The 9.4 MW Helmeringen 2
- The 6.3 MW Helmeringen 3 (built and commissioned in 2010)
The largest solar power station in Swabia was built by the German company Gehrlicher Solar and features the following key figures:[2]
- 288,132 thin-film modules using cadmium telluride photovoltaics (CdTe PV) manufactured by U.S. company First Solar
- 17,952 conventional solar panels based using crystalline silicon photovoltaics manufactured by Chinese company Yingli
- 18 SMA solar inverters
- 3 Siemens central inverters
- a total of 664 km solar cable trays
- a projected generation of almost 27 million kilowatt-hours (kWh)
- an avoided 14,353 tons of CO2 per year
- powers about 7,500 average households with clean energy, where average means a three-person household with an annual electricity consumption of 3,500 kWh.
