Solar module park is a so-called ongrid system, ie a non-independent, network-connected system (209.8 kW). In the solar module park, GEC are testing different concepts of modules, frames, foundations and inverters.
There are two solar module parks; Solar module park 1 och Solar module park 2.
Solar module park 1
There are four existing sections of a total of 136.2 kW, of which 108.2 kW was built in 2009 and then was supplemented in 2012 with an additional 28 kW.
Plant no 1 (4,6 kW)
20 modules from REC Solar
Inverters from SMA
Solar frames from Terrafix
Ground anchoring bolts from Jordankartjänst
Plant no 2 (17,6 kW)

Measuring equipment
All ongrid systems are connected to the measuring equipment for power quality measurement from Metrum. Fortum conducts tests of how solar energy affects the power grid.
