Q.CELLS has completed the solar project Brandenburg-Briest. With the last outstanding financial installment having now been placed by the financing bank, the commercial part of the mega project, at 91 MWe the largest PV installation in Europe, has now been finalised. Completion on site was achieved in only eight weeks at the end of 2011.
In Brandenburg-Briest, what was once a military airbase covering some 200 hectares is now home to approximately 383 000 of Q.CELLS’ crystalline solar modules. The plant should reduce annual CO2 emissions by approximately 50 000 tons.
The Briest solar part is subdivided into three different sections. Brandenburg-Briest West and Brandenburg-Briest East have a total output of 60 MWe: located on land that belongs to the municipal authorities of the town of Brandenburg, they were transferred to the ownership of Hamburg-based asset management company LUXCARA in November 2011.
The third section at the site produces 31 MWe and is located in the communal district Briest-Havelsee. It was bought by Berlin-based MCG Management Capital Group. Q.CELLS had developed the project together with the company Module 24.
