In principle, this form of hybrid technology can be applied to any form of conventional thermal (coal-, gas-, oil- or biomass-fired) power plant, either existing or new build. Solar energy is usually harvested in one of two ways. The first is via conventional PV cells that convert solar radiation directly into electricity.
At Enery, we harness this natural resource by acquiring, developing, building, and operating large-scale solar PV plants throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Unlike traditional fossil fuel power stations, solar panels make no noise, create no emissions, have no moving parts, and generate reliable electricity for up to 40 years.
