We began the new solar installation at the Virgen de la Oliva Cooperative. This small photovoltaic park located in Ejea de los Caballeros, Spain, will allocate its energy production to self-consumption.

At the Cooperativa Virgen de la Oliva located in the province of Zaragoza, Spain, is about to begin the execution of the new solar installation. This small plant will generate 999.18 kWh, which will be used for the cooperative's energy self-sufficiency without surplus.

For the delivery of this photovoltaic self-consumption project, an EPC or turnkey service agreement has been signed. Under this agreement, Enerland is responsible for preparing the execution and construction project. It will also be responsible for site management and technical supervision.

The solar project of the Virgen de la Oliva Cooperative

This photovoltaic plant will be located in Ejea de los Caballeros, Zaragoza. The rural plot, adjoining the cooperative’s facilities, will cover approximately 90m2.

According to the technical data, 2,700 Longi photovoltaic modules will be installed for the execution of this project. The structure chosen for the construction of this installation will be fixed, with a 35° tilt. In addition, the solar plant will also include the installation of 8 inverters. It should be noted that the energy produced by “Virgen de la Oliva” will be allocated to the non-export self-consumption model.

Finally, following this installation, there will be three our solar parks of completed photovoltaic self-consumption projects.

A great solution

At present, owing to the nature of their operations, industries across different sectors are seeing their costs rise. This is due to fluctuations in electricity prices. The need to keep plants running continuously makes it impossible to reduce consumption. However, solar parks that allocate their production to self-consumption are becoming an excellent solution. Thanks to them, owners can monitor their consumption, reduce their electricity bills and lessen their negative environmental impact. However, not all industries have adjoining land that would allow them to incorporate this type of photovoltaic installation. For such cases, there is an alternative solution: Rooftop installations.
