Recently, the largest tilting roof photovoltaic system in Morse, near Duisburg, Germany, has been put into operation since October 16. The system consists of more than 11000 CdTe modules from first solar, an American manufacturer, with a total power generation of 837 kW.
The solar power generation system was built by Riedel recycling company. The original 9500 square meters south facing roof is now completely composed of solar modules. The new device has a tilt angle of 36.55 and 75 meters and a height of 30 meters. It takes only three months. The whole project progress is much faster than planned.
"Thin film modules are the best choice for us. Although the sun radiation is weak, the overall benefits are good. " As for the selection of inverters, Riedel said he preferred the system supplier Sputnik engineering.
At present, four kinds of solarmax Series Inverters from Sputnik engineering are used in the solar system of Morse City, with power output of 300 (2x), 100 and 30 kW respectively. Although these inverters are mainly used for the conversion of AC and DC power at home, they will also be suitable for administrative buildings in the near future. As the solarmax inverter will generate about 45 kW of waste heat, it can be used in the air conditioning system of the administrative building through the heat exchanger. In addition to the rooftop photovoltaic system which will generate electricity in the future, Ludger Riedel is also considering a solar power system to be installed in the external pillars.
