The day had finally come on June 12th. AS Solar opened the photovoltaic plant on the roof of its new company headquarters. After a rather rainy morning the sun showed itself punctually in all its glory for the official start and made the approximately 1.200 mono and polycrystalline modules by renounced manufacturers shine in bright blue on the 5.000 m² roof area. With an installed total performance of 268kWp  the plant is not only the largest PV-system in the region Hannover but could theoretically supply about 80 households with environmentally friendly electricity. The employment of modules and inverters by various brand manufacturers like Sanyo, Solon, Schott, SolarWorld, SMA,  Sunways, SolarMax and Kostal gives AS Solar the opportunity to field test its own products, the interaction between the individual components and analyze it with the in-house monitoring system AS Control. All together 15km of cable and 5km of mounting rails were used in the construction.

After the festive start-up of the plant through regional president Hauke Jagau and AS Solar CEO Gerd Pommerien the numerous guests had the opportunity to tour the entire system and see for themselves that “100% renewable energies are possible here and now”.
