Large-scale photovoltaic power plants
ranking 751 - 800

"Groundwater can stay polluted for several thousand years."
(http://www.freshwater.org/water_facts.html)

Solarpark Hemau - standalone photovoltaic power plant - 4 MWp Solarpark Sonnen - standalone photovoltaic power plant - 1,75 MWp Solarpark Markstetten - photovoltaic power plant - 1,6 MWp

Read more in "pvresources.com Annual Review Free Edition" or in Annual Review 2008 Extended Edition ...

World's largest photovoltaic power plants are presented in the table below. The list is divided into tables - each table includes 50 power 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 > 1.2 MWp). 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 email. Countries where large-scale (>1 MWp) power plants were put into service are (ranked by cumulative power capacity installed as at December 2009):

es   de   us   it   kor   cz - Spain, Germany, USA, Italy, South Korea, Czech Republic

cn   pt   ca   fr   re   be - China, Portugal, Canada, France, Franch overseas departments/Reunion, Belgium

jp   gr   ae   nl   ch - Japan, Greece, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, Switzerland

th   bg   in   au   ph - Thailand, Bulgaria, India, Australia, the Philippines

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.
