Germany's largest thin-film pitched roof system has been producing environmentally friendly solar power in Moers near Duisburg since mid October. Over eleven thousand Cadmium Telluride modules from the American manufacturer First Solar deliver a total of 837 kilowatts.

The solar power system was constructed by Riedel Recycling. The company uses the former coal mixing hall in Moers for the storage and preparation of building materials. Its 9,500 square meter south-facing roof is now fully fitted with solar modules.
“The installation was completed much more quickly than planned”, a fact that clearly pleases managing director Ludger Riedel.
The fitters required just three months despite pitches of 36.55 and 75 degrees, and heights of up to 30 metres, which were only accessible with inclined lifts and ladders.
“Thin-film modules are a good choice at our latitudes”, Riedel continues “because they also deliver good yields despite weaker solar radiation.”
