Parabel AG (Berlin, Germany) announced that it has begun work on the first of 11 rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) plants totaling 6 MW in Brandenburg and Saxony, Germany.
Parabel’s concept involves the refurbishment of asbestos-containing roofs belonging to former agricultural production cooperatives, including re-cladding with metal sheet roofing and the installation of PV plants.
Plants to range between 250 kW and 1.4 MW in size
The first plant under construction is near the town of Herzberg, Germany.
The plants will comprise roughly 26,000 polycrystalline PV plants. The plants will be between 250 kW and 1.4 MW in size, and will be sold upon completion.
Parabel states that based on this concept it has already installed more than 11 MW of PV plants on roofs since 2009.
