Trina Solar Modules Provide Solar Energy for the Bavarian State Chancellery

Munich, Germany (SPX) May 27, 2013


The Bavarian State Chancellery in Munich.

Trina Solar has supplied 296 modules for a solar PV array on the roof of the Bavarian State Chancellery in Munich. The array, which was installed by OneSolar International GmbH, will provide electricity for the official residence of Minister-President Horst Seehofer.

All the solar energy generated by the panels will be used by the State Chancellery itself. Covering a roof area of 800 square metres, the array will generate 70 Megawatt hours of clean solar electricity per year.

The Trina Solar modules used in the array are the highly reliable and efficient TSM-PC05 245W model, which also retains its high performance levels in low light conditions. The panels have a high snow load resistance of up to 500kg per square metre, and have achieved a wide range of additional certifications.

With a PV array on its roof, the State Chancellery is setting an example for other federal institutions.

"We congratulate the Bavarian State Chancellery on this solar installation, and the step that it has taken towards establishing a permanent, decentralised energy supply for itself," said Ben Hill, Head of Europe at Trina Solar.

"It is great to see that the state is leading the way in the transition to sustainable energy sources and setting its sights on generating its own clean and renewable energy. By building this array, the state government has shown that solar installations can be successfully deployed on heritage-protected buildings. It is a great honour for us that Trina Solar modules have been used in this installation."
