Q.CELLS and GETEC green energy AG from the GETEC group, are working together to construct a 28 megawatt peak (MWp) solar power plant in Saxony-Anhalt. The installation will occupy an approximately 55 hectare site at Amsdorf near Halle, and around 123,000 polycrystalline modules supplied by Q.CELLS will be in place by April of this year.

With an output capacity of 28 MWp, the solar park will generate enough electricity to power some 8,000 homes a year, cut annual CO2 emissions by an estimated 15,000 tons and help Saxony-Anhalt enhance its environmental protection profile. The official sod-turning ceremony at the site took place today with Dr. Reiner Haselhoff, the premier of the state of Saxony-Anhalt.

“We are delighted that this project enables us to continue our long-lasting partnership with GETEC,” said Clemens Jargon, head of product management, sales and marketing at Q.CELLS: “The order for the Amsdorf site demonstrates that even though market conditions remain challenging, Q.CELLS is still a valued business partner and supplier of top-class products and services.”
