EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) of PV power plants
Grid parity is possible through efficiently built and cost-effective PV power plants. GridParity is working on this task and has developed a power plant concept that consistently focuses on high-quality double glass modules and best of class components. The bifacial modules (page 18) can achieve electricity production costs below $ 0.05 under favorable conditions.
A further increase in performance can be achieved if the modules are mounted on the tracker newly developed by GridParity. With additional costs of only about 5% of the total costs of a power plant), yield increases of on average 25% (and significantly more) can be achieved.
We are planing, designing and implementing your solar energy projects. We start with a client consultation, site assessment, and financial assessment, which helps us to understand the project's context. Then we design an appropriate plan that takes all relevant factors into account. We will give report on the efficiency, costs, and safety of the project.
We work with the following computer programs to create the designs and testing photovoltaic systems: PV Syst and Helios 3D

EPC for PV Power Plants
Reference Projects (selection)
Seelfeld, Germany (3 MW)
About 30 km southwest of the Bavarian capital Munich, the Solarpark Seefeld was built on 8.2 hectares formerly agricultural area. The plant supplies about 3 MWp of electricity, enough for 874 households. The solar park saves just under 3,400 tonnes of CO2 every year.
Location: Seelfeld, Bavaria in Germany
Land area: 8,2 ha
Number of modules: 16.956
Plant type: Photovoltaic - open space plant
Top performance: 2.912 kWp
yield: 3.018.685 KWh / year
Performance Ratio (PR): 82 %
CO2 savings: 3.418 t / year
Corresponds to the energy requirement of:
874 households
Laudenbach, Germany (3.5 MW)
The solar power plant Laudenbach near Würzburg was built on a 9.3 hectare former, low yielding farmland. The facility is located on the Englertsberg between Laudenbach and Duttenbrunn. The power plant has a performance of 3.5 MWp. The solar power plant Laudenbach is the second largest power plant for solar power in the district of Main-Spessart. It covers the energy needs of 968 households and saves about 3,800 tons of CO2 annually.
Location: Laudenbach, Bavaria in Germany
Land area: 9,3 ha
Number of modules: 20.088
Plant type: Photovoltaic - open space plant
Top performance: 3.496 kWp
yield: 3.342.176 KWh / year
Performance Ratio (PR): 82 %
CO2 savings: 3.785 t/ / year
Corresponds to the energy requirement of:
968 households
Droyßig, Germany (3.5 MW)
The solar power plant Droyßig near the middle Naumburg was built on a 5,6 hectare, unused conversion area. The generated electricity is fed into the network of envia. The 1.7 MWp plant covers the energy needs of about 480 houses. The construction of the solar park on a contaminated conversion area could result in a sensible use of this property.
Location: Droyßig, Saxony-Anhalt
Land area: 5,6 ha
Number of modules: 9.792
Plant type: Photovoltaic - open space plant
Top performance: 1.713 KWp
yield: 1.642.998 kWh / year
Performance Ratio (PR): 82 %
CO2 savings: 1.860 t/ / year
Corresponds to the energy requirement of:
476 households
