Switzerland receives European award for Solar Energy
It is a recognition awarded by the European Association for Renewable Energies (Eurosolar). The Stadium of Switzerland received the award in the category ‘owners and managers of implants for use of renewable energy‘, said Eurosolar.
In the same class are also awarded to the Westfalenhalle of Dortmund. Other winners in the category “Cities and municipalities’ are La Meal (Zaragoza, Spain), the Italian province of Trento and the people June bee Gottingen (Germany).
Back in September, Stadium of Switzerland won the Swiss Solar Prize 2005. The benefits of solar panels on the roof and managed by the company BKW Energies AG achieved, with optimal levels of insulation, the 850 kW.
The maximum annual production of 700,000 kilowatt hours, equivalent to annual power supply 200 households. From a technical standpoint, it could reach an annual production of nearly double, to 1,300,000 kilowatt-hours. Big and small, yet the implementation built on the stadium of Switzerland is the largest solar power plant on the planet, but the broader stage.
The project was developed by the international research center of the Mont Soleil, in the Bernese Jura (northwest). Despite its size, it would take 4,170 such facilities to achieve the production of nuclear power Muhlenberg that, like the panels of the stadium belongs to the BKW.
Several municipalities in the surroundings of Berne have expressed interest in solar energy, and many families through interactive tools and models, combine different energy technologies.
