en.Wedoany.com Reported - Greenvolt Next, a company belonging to the Portuguese Greenvolt Group specializing in renewable energy solutions for the commercial and industrial sectors, has completed the construction of a ground-mounted solar plant with an installed capacity of 2.2 megawatt-peak (MWp) at the premises of multinational pharmaceutical company Astellas in Damastown, Dublin, Ireland.
The solar plant, visible from the 1.1-kilometer riverside walkway surrounding the site, was built over a four-month period. The plant comprises 3,192 units of 690 watt-peak (Wp) photovoltaic modules from the Japanese brand Leapton, along with five Huawei 330KTL inverters, delivering an AC output of 1.5 megawatts (MW). Occupying an area of 3.16 hectares, the plant utilizes a fixed dual-pillar support structure with driven pile foundations and galvanized metal frames, without a tracking system, with modules oriented east-west.
It is expected to generate 1,735.4 megawatt-hours (MWh) annually, meeting approximately 27% of the industrial complex's electricity demand. The design allows for future capacity expansion through the addition of inverters and battery storage systems. The solar plant is equipped with a monitoring system that records energy generation, self-consumption, and surplus energy, ensuring precise performance control. During project development, priority was given to environmental integration and the protection of the local ecosystem, with measures taken to preserve natural habitats and drainage patterns, avoiding disruption to the nearby river environment. Biodiversity initiatives included the installation of bat boxes, the creation of insect shelters, and the planting of native plant species along the site boundary. The drainage system was designed to maintain controlled water flow into natural waterways, minimizing the impact on the existing ecosystem.
