First Solar Power Plant to Generate 1,250 MWh Annually

The first solar power plant in
Bulgaria will generate a minimum of 1,250 MWh of electricity
annually. The design of the plant was presented at the BTA National Press Club Wednesday by the building contractor SunService and the consultant, the German company IBC Solar. The owner of the solar power plant is the Bulgarian company InterSol.
The plant, unveiled on Wednesday, is located at Paounovo, Ihtiman Municipality. It is situated on 4.5 hectares of land and includes 13,365 solar modules and 159 invertors. The solar modules were made in Japan, and the invertors in Germany.
According to Roumen Hristov, Executive Director of SunService, the thin-layer modules will ensure maximum productivity in the summer season and with the availability of diffused light during the winter season.
The building of the plant lasted almost a year, and the investment totalled under 4 million euro. A leading motive for the investment in the solar power plant was the effective installation, which will allow a prompter return on the investment, said InterSol Board of Directors Chairman Ventsislav Petrov.
