IBC SOLAR has commenced construction works at the Sukow solar park in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, Germany.

The 11MWp solar park, which covers a total area of 31 hectares, is expected to generate electricity for nearly 3,700 households while saving about 6,100 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

The Sukow solar facility, planned to be completely installed in August 2011, will be built on the former Sukow landfill as well as next to the Schwerin-Crivitz railway line.

IBC SOLAR’s solar-funds department was responsible for purchasing the property and project development.

Once the solar park is connected to the grid, the modules will generate approximately 10,500,000kWh.

In the upcoming weeks, the company intends to install 48,000 photovoltaic modules.
