Q.CELLS Wins Contracts for Four Solar Projects in Greece

Q.CELLS has won contracts for four Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar projects in the central Greek region of Thessaly. The planned solar power plants have a combined electricity output of approximately 2.4 MWp, which represents enough green power for more than 700 households in Greece – a country with more than enough of that vital resource, sunshine.

Two systems with 500 kilowatt-peak (kWp) will be constructed on an open-field site near the town of Larisa, while the two others will be mounted on industrial buildings’ rooftops in the Larisa (530 kWp) and Farsala (830 kWp). These undertakings represent yet another milestone in Q.CELLS’ process of international expansion.

“We are extremely pleased to have an impressive debut on the Greek solar market with these contracts,” Clemens Jargon, head of sales and marketing and product management at Q-Cells, said. “The country’s photovoltaic (PV) market has tremendous potential, and Q-CELLS will continuously strengthen its position as partner for customers and supplier of PV quality products and system solutions for a wide range of business segments in this sun-kissed country.”

Greece is currently on its way to becoming a key future market for the photovoltaics industry. Right now, the country has approved planning permission for PV projects with a combined output of approximately 2 GWp, with 0.5 to 2 MWp being the average size of these undertakings.
