3-MW Solar Park Comes Online in Spain

One of the world's largest solar energy projects that utilizes copper-indium-diselinide (CIS) modules just came online in Albacete, Spain. This project made by Swiss solar inverter manufacturer Sputnik Engineering AG and solar systems supplier Wurth Solergy. The system, which consists of 41,600 solar modules and 100-kilowatt centralized inverters generates a total of 3.26 megawatts of electricity.

Fotovoltaica del Peral S.L., which runs the system, estimates an annual output of 1,607 kilowatt-hours per installed kilowatt.

Unlike standard solar modules made of crystalline silicon, CIS modules have a better temperature coefficient, which means that as temperature rises module output decreases slowly. This advantage enables the system to give nominal output power at ambient temperatures up to 45 degrees C.
