BYD Firms its Renewable Energy Foothold in Europe with Completion of 1MW Solar


 
 
The 40-year lifetime of the BYD double glass PV modules in this project is very suitable for the long-term plans for the plant, and the frameless design makes them a perfect choice, since the solar farm is located in an area of gravel mining, with high incidence of dust and sand. The German solar farm is a private project for Berger Construction Company, and 60% of its generation will be for the company’s consumption and the remainder to be  fed  back  into  the  grid  in  compliance  with  Germany’s  Renewable  Energy  Act  (EEG).  There  are  plans  to further expand the plant in the near future.

 
BYD has been steadily marching into the European new energy market since 2012, when the company joined Enerpoint,  SunEnergy  Europe  and  EUROSOL  to tap  into  that market.  In  2013,  BYD  signed  contact  with FENECON to  distribute 1000  energy  storage systems and  with  Passivhause  for a 50KW/130KWh  energy storage  project.  In 2014, BYD won the tender for TERNA’s new energy program,  and  in  the  same  year, it released its 430 Double Glass Module and DESS Modular System. In June this year, BYD introduced its latest PV and energy storage products: the PV Module 2.0 for generation and the BYD B-Box and Mini ES energy storage systems. On the same occasion, the company formed partnership with Tuncmatik for a 150MW solar project. BYD’s main targets in solar industry next will be in the Netherlands, the UK, Germany and Poland.
