Description

Switchroom eHouse designed and manufactured for the Guinza Grande plant in Montalto di Castro, Viterbo.

The eHouse is equipped with an air-insulated MV ATR switchgear 36kV 2000A 20kA, LV switchboard Euro-SDS, HVAC, 100kVA auxiliary services transformer.
The project is an advanced agri-voltaic plant, designed to combine the production of electricity from solar sources with agricultural activity in an area that extends for approximately 115 hectares. The plant has a peak power of 65.292 MWp and a total power of approximately 76.7 MWp for the entire project, with a 15 MW storage system.
Environmental goals:

  • Reduction of CO₂ emissions: thanks to the production of renewable energy;
  • Efficient use of land: agricultural and energy production in the same space;
  • Landscape integration: visual mitigation works, and green strips are planne;
  • Soil quality: recovery of soil fertility and improvement of soil structure.
