- mainfrankenSolar continues to invest in solar electricity ·
- Plans for an expansion of 2.2 MWp

Sulzemoos, 11 May 2006 / Phönix SonnenStrom AG has been commissioned to plan, deliver and construct a large-scale solar electricity plant with a peak power output of around 1.7 megawatts. The commissioning party is a solar fund initiated by mainfrankenSolar. Back in 2005 Phönix SonnenStrom AG built a 1 megawatt green-field plant for another fund of mainfrankenSolar.

Construction work on the ground mounted photovoltaic plant in Buchheim near Wuerzburg is due to start in mid-July. The power plant is to be constructed with some 26,000 thin film modules made by First Solar, an American manufacturer, and is to be connected to the grid in November of this year. The total investment volume comes to around EUR 7 million.

The construction of another photovoltaic plant with a peak power output of 2.2 megawatts on the same site has been planned for this year as well.
