In the very northeast of the Netherlands, MKG completed one of the largest projects of the company’s history: On a site below sea level, more than 100.000 solar modules have been installed in just 20 weeks. MKG’s engineers faced the challenges of the peaty soil with a special, yet economic foundation, by which the substructure gains a secure hold in the soft ground.
In late 2016, MKG erected a solar plant in a discontinued extraction site of a quarry company. Due to the strong inclination up to 20° we used a slope parallel construction design.
The inauguration ceremony with a traditional blessing of MKG’s next building site took place in Hamada, on Japan’s west coast. The ceremony, which took place according to Japanese customs and traditions, was a truly high-profile event appropriate for the significance of the solar park Hamada.
We build outdoors – even in winter: the first solar park of the year 2016 has just been built in Japan. A particular challenge in the process was the heavy snowfall.
The island of Miyakojima is not only a sunbathed paradise in the sea: A solar park in an extraordinary location overlooking the beach and the turquoise-blue sea has also been powering it since 2015.
