aleo solar To Supply Australia With Solar Modules

Published: 08-Sep-2009

aleo solar AG (aleo solar) has announced its entry into the Australian PV market. The first modules have already been delivered, with orders including polycrystalline solar modules for a school in the state of Victoria. A total of 24 aleo S_16 modules have been installed on the roof of the German Rudolf-Steiner School building in Mansfield. The scope of the order includes inverters and the mounting system.

Remtron Automation, a Melbourne-based aleo partner, has installed 4 kW rooftop project.

As a sun-soaked continent, Australia offers excellent conditions for photovoltaic plants. Annual yields can reach 2,000 kWh per kW of rated output, which is about twice as much as in Germany.

In August 2009, the Australian Government announced plans whereby at least 20% of its power needs should be sourced from renewable energies by 2020. The Government's launch of the "Solar Credits" scheme is part of this strategy and is aimed primarily at encouraging private households to install solar rooftop plants. Small installations in particular will receive excellent incentives. The Government aims to earmark some AUD4 million for subsidy programs and major projects in this field.
