On a 6 hectares industrial plot owned by OMV a ground-mounted photovoltaic plant with solar tracking and output of 5,590 kWp has been installed.
The power produced will meet around 45% of the annual electrical energy demand of the OMV tank farm in Lobau and save around 2,100 tons of CO2 per year.
Compared to a fixed installation, a solar-tracking system, i.e. one that follows the position of the sun, increases sustainable electricity production by about 10%. In addition, the solar panels are equipped with bifacial modules. These are “two-sided” cells that can use the reflected light also via the backside of the panel. This increases production efficiency by another 5% compared to single-face solar cells.
Construction began in June 2021, finalized in Q1/2022 and followed by a time laps recording.
