Solyndra presents its first 46 kWp in Slovenia

Our goal with this project was to demonstrate our commitment to conducting business in an eco-friendly manner, but of course it had to be economically advocable, said Jernej Volavšek, CEO of Intercom. Eco Solar specified the Solyndra panels with a new cool roof, allowing us to generate the most energy possible from our roof while reducing our overall energy use. The system is up and running and we expect a good return on investment.

The Intercom installation consists of 252 Solyndra solar panels, producing over 46,000 kWh of electricity and eliminating more than 60,000 pounds of CO2 emissions annually – enough energy to remove 5 cars from the road or power more than 8 residential homes per year according to United States Environmental Protection Agency calculations. Eco Solar designed, engineered and installed the system in combination with a new white ‘cool roof’ system.

Working closely with Solyndra/USE we were able to deliver the lowest balance of system costs and best return on investment for our customer – surely Solyndra has a great potential to become a strong leader on the Slovenian photovoltaic market.< We were pleased to support this first project in Slovenia which demonstrated both the ease of installation of the Solyndra system and our ability to enhance a white roof, said Clemens Jargon, Solyndra’s president of EMEA and managing director, Solyndra GmbH. Slovenia has a favorable environment for solar and our distributed, rooftop solution is a perfect answer to the country’s desire to increase its renewable energy production.
