Agrivoltaics is being promoted as the ideal way to combine solar power generation and agricultural use. Although it can hardly replace traditional solar parks, it offers interesting opportunities for niche applications, says Carsten Bovenschen, CEO of Juwi, in an interview.
For four years, MVV will supply 40 gigawatt hours of solar power from solar parks built by Juwi. The three plants are located in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.
Juwi is in final stages of commissioning a large solar hybrid project at Centamin’s Sukari Gold Mine, some 400 kilometers south of the conference venue of COP 27 in Sharm El-Sheikh
Japan: Juwi Shizen Energy has connected a 54 MW solar park on challenging terrain topography to the grid. It is located on a former golf course.
The 2.9 megawatt solar power plant in Otaki Village generates climate-friendly electricity for 600 households. juwi Shizen Energy Operation takes over operational management of the plant.
Sungrow announced recently it forged the contract to supply equipment to juwi for the 36 megawatt off-grid solar farm and a 7.5 megawatt battery energy storage system at Sukari gold mine operated by Centamin in Egypt.
juwi Shizen Energy has received an order for EPC project for “Pacifico Energy Sanda Mega solar”, a 121MW (DC) solar park in Hyogo Prefecture by Pacifico Energy K.K..
Two solar farms at Leinster and Mt Keith in Western Australia with a combined power of 38 MW and a 10 MW battery-energy storage system will tangibly reduce CO2 emission.
The 36-megawatt solar farm and 7.5-megawatt battery storage system will be integrated into existing diesel power plant at Sukari Gold Mine.
The solar farm, including 4.4-megawatt battery storage, will be integrated into existing power plant infrastructure of the Gruyere Gold Mine and operated by APA.
The Azuma Kofuji solar farm is the largest EPC contract for the joint venture and generates electricity for more than 30,000 households. Commissioning is scheduled for spring 2023.
What drives me? The vision that the many convincing arguments in favour of a comprehensive energy supply based on photovoltaics (and other renewable energies) will soon find their way into the consciousness of citizens, but also of business, the media and, above all, politics.
In northern Greece, the juwi Group is building a 204-megawatt solar park for the Hellenic Patroleum Group. Once up and running, the project will generate climate-friendly electricity for 75,000 households.
JinkoSolar supplies Swan bifacial PV modules to Juwi Hellas for the biggest bifacial solar project ever built in Europe.
The solar power plant is located in Tochigi prefecture around 100 kilometres north of the Japanese capital of Tokyo. This is the largest single project of the Juwi Shizen Energy joint venture to date.
