Major contract for CENTROSOLAR: chosen as project partner for DCM Solarfonds for third time
Munich, June 15, 2010. CENTROSOLAR Group AG has again been chosen as the project partner for the solar fund of the investment bank DCM. The launching of its investment fund DCM Solarfonds 4 gives investors the opportunity to invest in a portfolio of ten solar roof plants. The photovoltaic plants are or will be erected on flat roofs of the German logistics centres of the grocery giants ALDI Süd and ALDI Nord, and have an aggregate output of 7.8 MW.
For the DCM Solarfonds 4 project, CENTROSOLAR is taking charge of selecting and supplying the solar modules as well as other components. Centroplan GmbH, the joint venture of CENTROSOLAR and Pohlen Bedachungen GmbH & Co. KG, is operating as project developer. Other project partners are Pohlen Solar, which is responsible for the construction of the turnkey, grid-ready plants, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, which has the task of monitoring and quality assurance for the plants. The solar plants of the earlier investment funds DCM Solarfonds 1 and DCM Solarfonds 3 were previously realised by the same project partners. True to the motto "never change a winning team", DCM Solarfonds 4 is therefore the third occasion on which they are joining forces for such a project. The solar plants in question are to go on-grid in the course of 2010.
