Photovoltaic plant (power 995.72 kw) – Napoli

The installation of the photovoltaic power plant was only possible after a period of
experimentation carried out in collaboration with the Department of Technical Physics
of the University of Palermo, in order to evaluate the potential degree of glare against
aircraft during takeoff, landing and circling. The results of the tests performed have
led to selection and installation of modules whose protective crystal has an internal
roughness to reduce any phenomenon of reflection of incident sunlight. Photovoltaic
modules are connected to the national distribution network in three-phase medium
voltage; two generators Copernicus TL-SF-200 Astrid model and two generators
Copernicus TL-SF-250 Astrid model were installed, in order to ensure a maximum power
of 1 MW.

The installation and proper management of the photovoltaic allow big savings on
traditional fuels and a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases. The savings in terms
of fossil fuels could be estimated in about 230 TOE (tons of oil equivalent) per year,
while a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 620 tons of CO₂ each
year was calculated.
