Oldenburg,
Germany: aleo solar AG Wins Contract for Spanish Solar Project
aleo
solar AG has won another large contract from SOLARTIA. aleo solar
will supply the Spanish project developer with modules for a new
solar farm in the Navarre province. This order is expected to
generate sales worth nearly EUR 17 million.
Together
with the orders reported in December, the total agreed volume
of the Spanish project now amounts to nearly EUR 62 million. SOLARTIA
also has the option of ordering another shipment of modules in
2008 worth nearly EUR 5 million.
The
new Valdegón project in Torres del Río will be the largest solar
farm to exclusively use modules from aleo solar AG. The planned
photovoltaic power plant, with more than 32,000 aleo modules,
will cover 200,000 square metres and should be connected to the
grid by September 2008 at the latest. Construction will start
in February. Energy from the Valdegón solar farm will supply over
2,200 households in sunny southern Europe, making it one of the
largest photovoltaic installations in Spain.
In
2007, aleo supplied SOLARTIA with 24,000 modules for another solar
farm in Viana. José Emilio Mendívil, managing director of SOLARTIA,
explained that past experience with aleo solar is what prompted
his company to place a follow-up order with the German solar specialist.
“The
premium modules from aleo solar have met our high demands since
going into operation. We anticipate high energy yields throughout
their entire lifecycle.”
Mendívil
said this is why the companies are continuing their successful
partnership. The high-quality modules for the new Valdegón solar
farm will be manufactured at the main aleo plant in Prenzlau,
Germany, and in Santa María de Palautordera near Barcelona. aleo
solar, the first German solar module manufacturer in Spain, has
been producing modules in its own plant there since early 2007.
“Our
presence in the country has given us permanent access to the important
Spanish market,” said Jakobus Smit, CEO of aleo solar AG. “The
expansion of our cooperation with large Spanish customers shows
how highly the quality of our products is valued.”
The
aleo plant in Spain produces modules exclusively for the Spanish
market.
