The Finow Tower solar park is an open- air photovoltaic system in Brandenburg , which was built in 2010/11 on the site of the Finow airfield near Eberswalde . When it was commissioned, it was the largest solar park in Europe.
The plant consists of two sub-areas with a total output of 84.7 MWp . Finow Tower I was put into operation in 2010 and has an output of 24.3 MWp. From September 2011 to December 2011 this plant was expanded to include Finow II with an output of 60.4 MWp. The grid connection took place in December 2011.
The solar park was built by the solar hybrid project manager . The modules with solar cells based on monocrystalline silicon came from the manufacturer Suntech . The annual standard energy capacity of the entire system is around 82 GWh , which corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of around 23,500 households.
Since the solar park was built on a conversion area that was previously used by the military, military contaminated sites and ammunition residues had to be cleared before construction . In addition, around 3 million euros were invested in ecological compensation measures. Among other things, 5 hectares of forest were reforested, 58 hectares of dry grassland and 9 hectares of lark fields were created.
