Solar energy on a large scale

On the way blacks should still arise in Hohenlohe this year, a solar farm. The city council had given it in its most recent meeting of his hand a green light. Since last Wednesday is now the planning application to the competent authorities of the district, says Frank Uhlig, who took over the planning for the company Elicon. Get a building permit issued, the work would begin in October and then in December could first current is fed into the grid of the utility Envia.

Solar System Area

In April, the request for the zoning in the city administration Hohenlohe was received. Subsequently, the applications were designed and included objections from local residents quickly as authorities in the revised plan. Politics, too, stepped on the gas: "The council had a tight schedule," Building Department Director Christoph Karger says, looking at the past few months. He praised not only the Hohenlohe Council but also the staff of the authorities in the county.

Two procedures had to be processed: first, the building permit process, on the other hand, the land use plan (LUP). The land belongs, according to the statement Karger GmbH Deutschmarks bitumen, it is considered in the FNP conversion area. Because there was formerly a landfill, which was made into a green area. This means at one meter depth, a film was appropriate to the overlying surface is regarded as evaporation basins for precipitation. If you look on the spot by the fence, we suspect little of it: It can be seen grass and bushes. Reconversion like this can not be used for agricultural purposes, they are therefore seen as the preferred locations for photovoltaic systems.

The conditions for a solar system are so ideal. Elicon staff Uhlig told that his company had planned for six years for the former operator of the bitumen plant before this solar system. In addition, the construction of the black path already laid conduits for feeding - another advantage.

According to Uhlig's project rested for a while until it was revived Elicon and the Central German Bitumen Plant won again as an investor. There is currently no one wants to comment on the amount of investment, after the end of the building design would be to say something.

When zoning two points were left open to be resolved only with the planning application now submitted. Then any modules can not be anchored in the ground deeper than 80 centimeters, so that the protective film is not affected. Must also ensure that stay precipitation can evaporate in this area. This should be confirmed by a report that promises Uhlig.

After approval by the City Council of the county is now on the train. The operators move up a gear in order to secure the coming year, compared to higher energy output. And what the city has it? Building Department Director Karger speaks of an "ideal value". "We thus contribute to alternative energy sources"
