The Kosh-Agatsch photovoltaic system ( Russian Кош-Агачская солнечная электростанция or Кош-Агачская СЭС ) is a solar park about 3 km north of the settlement of Kosh-Agach in the Altai Republic . The first stage of the solar park was officially opened on September 4, 2014 in the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin . It was the first solar park of this size in Russia.
construction
The 26- hectare facility was built in the steppe at an altitude of almost 1800 m. The remote Russian border region with Mongolia , China and Kazakhstan has had to struggle with power shortages in the past. The solar system will make the around 10,000 residents of the region much less dependent on high-loss energy imports from distant power plants.
In the first construction phase, around 21,000 polycrystalline solar modules from the Russian company Hevel Solar with a total output of 5 MW were installed on 13 hectares . The modules each have an output of 250 watts and are mounted in rows at an angle of 45 °. The distance between the rows is 8 to 10 m. They are divided in the middle by a central path. The angle of inclination serves on the one hand to effectively catch the sun's rays, on the other hand, together with the steppe wind, it prevents snow or other substances from being deposited on the solar modules. The construction of the first stage lasted from May 30 to September 4, 2014 and cost 570 million rubles , around 11.2 million euros . The second expansion stage followed in 2015. An identical complex was built to the east of the existing solar field. The complex started work on December 22, 2015. The total output of the plant was doubled to 10 MW.
During the construction of both sections, around 100 workers were deployed, most of whom came from Kosch-Agatsch . Today the fully automatic solar power plant gives work to five people who monitor the system and the technical processes on it. The solar panels are designed for an operating time of at least 25 years. It is expected that the investment will have paid for itself after about 15 years.
power
There are over 300 sunny days per year in the region, which means that every installed kilowatt of power generates up to 1400 kWh of electricity per year . With the first expansion stage, around 1000 households could be supplied with stable electricity. Today's output is sufficient to supply two neighboring areas, the Ulagan and Ongudai districts, with electricity in addition to the Kosch-Agatsch district . At night, however, one is still dependent on electricity imports in these areas. This is why Ongudai is currently building its own small solar power plant. The more stable power supply in the remote region is also fueling new hope for an economic upswing in the structurally weak region. Impetus in agriculture, tourism or the mining of tungsten and molybdenum now appear possible.
property
The owner of the photovoltaic system is Avelar Solar Technology , a 100% subsidiary of Hevel Solar , which is entrusted with the operation of the systems installed by the parent company.
