The German renewable energy firm, Voltwerk AG, will start building the country's largest solar power plant in the Bavarian area of Soechtenau this month.
The first stage, a 600kW photovoltaic unit, will link to the Isar-Amperwerke power grid in Germany. The location is ideal for an efficient community solar plant, according to Martin Bucher of Voltwerk. It will meet the needs of one-quarter of Soechtenau's 2,500 homes.
