VolksWagen the name synonimous for it's Automobiles are going green by installing the largest Solar installation in Tennessee in their Enterprise South industrial park factory.
Project details in a Nutshell:
- Capacity: 9.85MW
- Number of Solar Modules: 33,600
- Area: 65 acre
- Project cost: $30 Million
- EPC: Pheonix Solar
Tennessee's largest solar park currently is a 5MW facility in West Tennessee, which will be overtaken by VW's Solar project once it's construction finishes later this year.
The modules are placed on a 25 degree fixed tilt ground mounted installation to maximize its position relative to the sun. They are planning to complete the project by installing with a rate of 150 panels a day.
VW had already installed solar modules at other factories in Spain and Germany. It's not just VW, retail giants like IKEA are also into Solar in a big way.
