German IPP Enerparc has secured a €266 million financing package for the construction and operation of a 400MW solar PV portfolio in Germany.

Wiki-Solar's latest figures show that the world’s top 34 EPC contractors are now responsible for a combined portfolio of more than 100GWac.

Booming solar deployment in has led to fears that a bottleneck in the availability of contractors could squeeze project completion rates.

Enerparc has secured bridge financing for a 325MW solar portfolio in Germany, which will include co-located battery storage projects.

German-headquartered solar developer Enerparc has sold 193MW worth of its Australian solar PV assets to Ingka Group, the owner of furniture retailer IKEA.

IKEA owner Ingka Group has invested €340 million (US$370.84 million) in 440MW of solar PV projects in Germany and Spain, to be built by developer Enerparc.

The ‘Retrofit AR’ coating, an offspring of DSM’s industry-leading anti-reflective (AR) coatings, gives older, uncoated solar modules an instant energy boost of up to 3%, according to lab and field tests. For power plants built before 2012, it is an especially attractive way to increase yield while keeping feed-in tariffs high and boosting internal rate of return (IRR), compared to panel replacement programs.

While debates on government support roll on, these parks wave the flag for pushing ahead without subsidies.

The LEGO holding company and investment fund KIRKBI has acquired the US arm of solar developer Enerparc.
