Phoenix Solar Germany
Solar park Haimhausen I & II
Clean electricity for all – additional income for the community
The community of Haimhausen in the German district of Dachau is setting an example of how ecological demands and economic interests can be combined. In the year 2006, the local council decided to give the green light to renewable energy sources by constructing a solar power plant. And although the operators and the public were initially somewhat sceptical about the project, the plant was constructed.
For Phoenix Solar, this project was the first solar power plant to be realised on a communal level. In just eleven weeks, the system with a total of 6,912 Phoenix PHX-160S solar modules and a total capacity of 1.1 megawatts was built and connected to the grid.
After the successful implementation, the municipality and its citizens decided to expand the solarpark. Phoenix Solar was commissioned again to install another 9,450 crystalline modules (STP270-24/Vd) within only 9 weeks. The overall capacity of this second section is with 2.55 MWp twice as powerful as the first one. The operator and the citizens are both likewise still enthusiastic about the generated yields. Moreover, the community of Haimhausen is very proud of its contribution to reduce the CO2-output by means of other renewable energies, such as geothermal energy.
