Austrian trade fair center may get 2
MW system
A 2 MW solar system is
being considered for installation on the Trade Fair Center in Wels,
Austria, site of the annual World Sustainable Energy Conference and
Global Energy Awards.
In an effort to increase the city's
attractiveness, planners were considering covering a pedestrian zone
with PV, but it was decided that the city-owned trade fair would be an
easier location to develop.

A study of putting PV on the Wels center
was conducted by the Austrian Solar Innovation Center (ASIC) and
included the Austrian inverter manufacturer Fronius International GmbH
& Co KG and the Austrian distributor for the German module
manufacturer Solar-Fabrik GmbH. No contracts have been awarded yet,
since the project is awaiting another study examining the future
expansion of the center, which is expected is be completed by the end
of May.
