400 Megawatts for the Czech Republic


Nobility Solar Projects a.s. plans to build PV plants with a total output of 40 megawatts next year. For its plants, the Czech company relies solely on SolarMax inverters from the Swiss inverter manufacturer Sputnik Engineering AG.

Biel , 25. November 2009. By the end of 2010 the company Nobility Solar Projects plans to more than double the amount of PC output it has already installed. “Since 2008 we have constructed solar power plants with a total output of 18 megawatts”, says Roman Kočí, commercial director at Nobility Solar Projects and then adds, “in 2010 this number will rise to 40 megawatts. We think the market will develop quickly next year if the feed-in tariffs sink by only five percent, as planned”.

In all of its projects, Kočí wants to use SolarMax inverters. “Only in this way can we ensure that we provide the best service. Sputnik Engineering has an excellent reputation and exclusively manufactures products with the renowned Swiss quality, which we also recommend to our partners.” Among Nobility’s current projects count numerous large plants, for example two 3.2 megawatt systems that the company commissioned in June and November near Brno, around 200 kilometres south-east of Prague. In each plant, nine SolarMax 300 C central inverters were used. The plant operator receives the increased feed-in tariff of 12.79 Czech crowns (about 0.50 euros) for 20 years for every kilowatt hour of solar electricity that the plants produce. Roman Koči expects the plants to have paid for themselves in less than ten years.

“The Czech Republic is an important market for us”, says Sputnik’s head of sales Daniel Freudiger. “I look forward to further, exciting projects. We have found a competent partner in Nobility, which is among the leading system integrators in eastern Europe.”
