Kronos Solar

Kronos Solar’s success story in the UK continues. Kronos Solar has developed sites and received permissions for almost 50MW. Seven Kronos Solar sites in the UK are either fully constructed or currently in construction with an aspired capacity of 30MW. At the same time, Kronos Solar has proven to be highly successful in quickly translating permissions into construction. This is especially remarkable, as the current investment climate remains difficult due to the government’s reluctance to support large scale solar projects. The UK desperately needs renewable energies, as the country ranks with only about 3% of the electricity coming from renewable sources amongst the lowest ranks of developed countries.

Cornwall's largest Solar Park realised with Bosch Solar Energy and HEP Capital
Kronos Solar’s Trefullock project near Summercourt, Cornwall is currently under construction on 19 hectares of green field. Bosch Solar Energy is responsible for the 5MW construction and delivers also high quality monocrystalline modules and mounting systems for the project. The project will connect to the national grid in July 2011. Funding Partner of the project is HEP Capital.

11 MW Wülknitz Solar Park connected to the Grid

In December 2010, we were successful in connecting an 11 MW ground mounted solar park to the national grid in cooperation with Saferay. The Wülknitz solar park is located in Sachsen, Germany. Key applied components include tier 1 suppliers Canadian Solar modules and Schneider Electric inverter stations.

If you are a land owner interested in exploring the idea of a solar park, you need to ask yourself several questions:

1.	Is my land eligible for solar?
2.	What are the implications from the solar park?
3.	What is my aspired role in this?
4.	How do I make the opportunity come to life?

Solar parks have become an attractive opportunity for UK farmers, if the press is right. Are they? Yes and no – as always. Recent months have seen considerable demand from proven and emerging solar farm developers towards “PV park eligible farm land”. This demand has almost led to a “gold rush” as described in several recent articles ...

With photovoltaics in the UK, a whole new asset category enters the stage. The risk-return relationship of PV is unrivaled.
