PV power plant HELIATOR
A solar power plant next to the sea.
The HELIATOR project is constructed on flat land very close to the sea shore in the region of Messolongi in West Greece and was comissioned in February 2013.
Over 20,000 solar panels generate 7.8 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, succient to supply approximately 1,700 homes. The solar power plant also prevents the emission of 5,300 tons of CO2 per year.
The project development of the solar power plant was subject to very special foundation requirements due to its martime location. The project’s foundations are designed to be submerged in water during the winter, while the plant continues to operate without any limitations. Special metal alloys were used due to the proximity to the sea and the salty environment.
