WHAT DOES A PHOTOVOLTAIC PARK BUILT AT 1000 METERS ALTITUDE LOOK LIKE?

Austria, Styria region, 2023. A project that we’ll remember for years due to the infrastructure & geographic challenges and to the beautiful site. The photovoltaic plant you see in the photos below is situated at 1,000 meters altitude, 14 km far from the nearest community, perched on a slope with a challenging 35% incline. The site was virtually unreachable for standard construction vehicles typically used in photovoltaic plant development, creating huge logistic challenges. Despite all these difficulties, the PARAPET team demonstrated exceptional skill in mechanical work. Our colleagues dedicated over 6,000 man-hours to this project. Their hard work and expertise culminated in the successful installation of approximately 5,420 photovoltaic panels, intricately placed on a state-of-the-art form-tec root system structure. An extremely well-done job whose effects are already visible: the plant generates enough electricity to power 800 average homes, significantly reducing the carbon footprint by avoiding 2,040 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
