Free Field Solar-Powerplant Hungen
Largest free-field solar power plant in Hessen of 2,9 MWp
Not far away from the small town of Gießen,
abakus solar AG built the largest free-field
solar power plant in Hessen of 2,9 MWp.
The application of a highly-efficient moun-
ting system, which consists of only four
components, was decisive for the short con-
struction time of only ten weeks.
The system was realized with approximately
60 % less material for the substructure than
in conventional systems.
Furthermore, the optimized statics save 50 %
more CO2 emissions compared with estab-
lished concepts.
Many logistic challenges have been perfect-
ly mastered in bad weather conditions.
On December 22nd 2009, the power was
switched on within the time limit.
That was very important for the owner, the
municipal utility of the city Hungen, in or-
der to receive the 2009 EEG feed in tariff.
The innovative Skytron monitoring system
allows the detailed monitoring of each of
the 528 module strings individually.
An inverter station by AEG was assembled
for the first time in a megawatt solar power
plant alongside 4 central inverters by SMA.
Loss of power was reduced to a minimum
due to the central arrangement of the indi-
vidual inverter-stations with medium volta-
ge connection and an optimized arrange-
ment of DC connection boxes.
The quality assessment is another novelty.
In cooperation with abakus solar AG, TÜV
Rheinland as the accredited testing insti-
tute, implemented a method of quality as-
sessment in a complete project for the first
time, which greatly exceeds the conventio-
nal IEC-certification of the modules.
The technical master-concept, as well as a
representative sample of the modules used,
will be inspected in this four part testing
procedure based on the profit yield.

The measured technical inspection and ap-

proval of the power plant on location repre-
sents the last step.
The certification will be closed by awarding
the power plant with the official TÜV seal of
approval.

Herewith, abakus solar AG confirms its com-

mitment to the security of PV-Investments:
Only consistency in selection of high quality
materials, engineering, and construction in
calculable construction times leads to susta-
inable economic success in complex photo-
voltaic system technology.
