German-headquartered PV specialist Hanwha Q CELLS completed one of the largest flat roof systems in Denmark.
The 345 kW flat-roof solution on a Danish retirement home of Lions Park Birkerød near Copenhagen has received net metering approval from Danish authorities and has been connected to the grid. Hanwha Q CELLS has been responsible for base frame delivery and supplied Denmark-based installer Isol Aps with around 1,300 monocrystalline Q.PEAK-G3 265W modules and corresponding innovative Q.FLAT solution.
The 345 kW system generates 292 kWh of electricity which approximates 60 household’s annual power demand, offsetting 146 tons of carbon dioxide. It’s equal to 243 flights from Copenhagen to New York per year over its minimum 25-year lifetime. In Denmark, the PV company again provides advanced Q CELLS rooftop solutions to cut commercial and industrial customer’s electricity bills. In times of climbing energy prices industry and commerce are particularly interested in potentials for energy cost reduction through net metering or PV self-consumption solutions.
Mr. Bjarne Johnsen, Administrator at the Lions Park Birkerød retirement house said the PV system will help provide power for the house’s 100 apartments and the care center.
Denmark had introduced new laws in the past in order to stabilize its yearly PV rise. The Danish installed PV capacity had increased by around 200 MW in 2012 from about 17 MW in 2011. The Scandinavian country is aiming to achieve 800MW by 2020.
Compared with a space consuming 30° mounting system with a southern orientation, the 10° flat-roof system Q.FLAT-G3 with an east-west orientation doubles the performance density of 67 Wp/m² to up to 134 Wp/m² and as such maximizes the yields based on the available roof surface.
