Large-scale photovoltaic power plants range 651 - 700
"Groundwater can stay polluted for several thousand years." (http://www.freshwater.org/water_facts.html)
Some German large standalone photovoltaic systems (source: EPURON, Hamburg)
Where are you: Home > World's largest photovoltaic power plants > Range 651-700

Annual Report 2007"...
World's largest photovoltaic systems are presented in
the table below.
The list is divided into tables - each table includes 50 plants. For each listed plant
basic data is available (power, country, location, basic description etc.). Currently list with
1000 large photovoltaic plants is available (peak power > 190 kWp). In the table you
may find different systems:
standalone, hybrid, distributed, building integrated etc. But only systems (or system)
which forms a unique photovoltaic power plant as a whole, are considered.
If some power plants are missing and should be included in this table, or if some entries in the table
should be modified, please send information to
.
Some other interesting BIPV system can you find in
BIPV section. Some additional interesting information
about cumulative power installed in IEA PVPS
member countries can be found on IEA-PVPS
web pages. Countries - click on the country name or flag to see detailed map (where available) - included in the list are:
-
Germany,
USA,
Italy, Japan, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal
- France, Switzerland, the Philippines, Réunion Island, Australia, Thailand
- China, Saudi Arabia, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium
- Luxembourg, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, India, Greece, Rwanda
The main source of information included in the table below are various
internet sources.
The list should be as accurate as possible. Howewer the mistakes and
missentries can not be excluded. Please inform me if some plants are not included
or if the entries should be modified. For other especially interesting large systems please follow the links below:
