Czech Republic’s largest open-area plant goes online

DRESDEN, GERMANY: With 17,500 modules, SOLARWATT AG has built its largest open-area plant in the Czech Republic to date in the South Bohemian town of Frymburk.

The solar power plant with a total output of 4.2 MWp has been supplying the E.ON Czech Republic grid with solar energy since the middle of November. The monocrystalline modules were installed without a hitch in a construction period of only 10 weeks.

Like the solar power plant in Frymburk, SOLARWATT will also be bringing all of its ongoing projects in the Czech Republic to a successful conclusion. Doing so is not a matter of course, since the conditions for investments in large solar parks have drastically deteriorated with the change of government in the Czech Republic.

For instance, a profit tax of 26 percent will be imposed on all income from the feed-in tariff for photovoltaic plants at 30 kilowatts and up with retroactive effect back to 1 January 2009.
