Project Overview
The Solar Park Kozani represents a landmark achievement in Greece’s renewable energy transition. Spanning over 80 hectares in the Western Macedonia region, this utility-scale photovoltaic installation demonstrates our capability to deliver complex energy infrastructure projects from concept to commissioning.
Our team provided comprehensive engineering services throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring seamless integration of cutting-edge solar technology with the existing power grid infrastructure.
Our Approach
Feasibility & Planning
We conducted extensive site analysis including solar irradiance studies, geotechnical surveys, and environmental assessments. Our planning phase identified optimal panel configurations that would maximize energy yield while respecting environmental constraints.
Engineering Excellence
The detailed engineering phase encompassed:
- Electrical Design: Complete DC and AC system design including inverter stations, transformer substations, and grid connection infrastructure
- Civil Engineering: Foundation design optimized for local soil conditions and seismic requirements
- Structural Engineering: Custom mounting system specifications for the challenging terrain
Construction Supervision
Our on-site team provided continuous supervision throughout the 27-month construction period, ensuring quality standards were maintained and project milestones achieved on schedule.
Technical Specifications
The installation utilizes bifacial monocrystalline panels with single-axis tracking systems, achieving an impressive capacity factor of 19.4%. The project incorporates advanced monitoring systems providing real-time performance analytics and predictive maintenance capabilities.
Environmental Impact
Beyond clean energy generation, the project includes significant environmental enhancements:
- Native vegetation restoration across 15% of the site
- Pollinator-friendly ground cover promoting local biodiversity
- Rainwater harvesting systems for panel cleaning operations
- Wildlife-safe fencing with designated crossing points
Outcomes
The Solar Park Kozani was completed on schedule and within budget, achieving first power export in June 2023. Performance data from the first operational year confirms energy yield exceeding initial projections by 3.2%, validating our engineering approach and technology selections.
