PHALK 500
The PHALK 500 plant was installed in Switzerland by a consortium of electric utilities and associated organizations, led by Electrowatt S.A. Siemens Solar provided 560 kW of frameless PV modules as well as engineering input with
respect to integrated panel design. The frameless modules were assembled into 37 foot2
panels in a temporary facility near to the construction site using adhesive bonding techniques. The panels were then mounted onto steel structures which support the panels at a fixed 45o
tilt. In contrast to most large PV plants, the PHALK 500 array is located on a gently sloping hill facing slightly east of south. The individual support structures are arranged irregularly on the hillside, which gives the plant a slightly more natural, less formal appearance than arrays which are laid out in rigorously ordered rows. Power from the field is fed into the local 16 kV distribution network through a single ABB inverter.
