Covaci Solar Park
Covaci Solar Park, which will be one of the world's largest thin-film photovoltaic (PV) power systems, is being built on a 60-hectare (148-acre) plot of land[1] to the north of Timișoara in Romania. The power plant will be a 35-megawatt solar power system using state-of-the-art thin-film technology, and was to be finished by the end of 2011.[2] A total of 480,000 First Solar thin-film modules will be used, and will supply 35,000 MWh of electricity per year.[2]
