SMA taking over complete technical operational management of largest PV farm in Denmark

SMA Solar Technology AG has announced that it is taking over complete technical operational management of Denmark’s largest PV farm on behalf of WIRCON GmbH.

The PV farm near Lerchenborg has been on the utility grid since December 2015, it generates approximately 60 million kWh of electric current per year, which is enough to supply around 30,000 private households with solar power. SMA has supplied the power plant with 1,750 Sunny Tripower 25000TL inverters.

The operational management contract includes continuous remote monitoring, regular maintenance, repairs and upkeep of the ground-based PV system.

Bernd Lamskemper, Head of Service EMEA at SMA in a statement said “We are delighted that WIRCON GmbH has increased its cooperation with SMA and placed us in charge of the operational management of the largest PV farm in Scandinavia. We possess the experience and skills to supervise the plant operation smoothly and reliably and to quickly identify and remedy any irregularities. As a result, we can ensure that the PV power plant is functioning perfectly at all times and generating the best possible yield.”

SMA is also planning to team up with WIRCON GmbH on other projects, thereby continuing to support the project developer and energy service provider as an expert partner.

“The company’s long-standing expertise in inverters and experience in the operational management of large PV power plants in the megawatt range motivated us to intensify our cooperation with SMA Solar Technology AG,” said Peter Vest, Managing Director of WIRCON GmbH.
