‘An electrical shock’ from a photovoltaic explosion
was projected into the Solar League 2009 only partially.
ALREADY 11% OF MUNICIPALITIES
FOUGHT FOR SOLAR POINTS,
BUT MANY MORE HAVE SOLAR INSTALLATIONS
Press release of Liga Ekologických Alternativ (28th January, 2010)
The super champion Ostrožská Lhota village got the title right in three categories! 
The other champions are: Rusava, Dubňany and Plzeň
The output of solar power plants stations in the league raised four times - up to 40 MWp; however, there are 470 MWp in the Czech Republic already
The area of solar modulus in the competition increased to 34 hectares
South-Moravian Bzenec is the jumper of the year, while being on the 6th position right now
The South-Moravian region became the best of the regions for the first time
The most active companies are JH Solar Plavsko (they signed on 692 m2 of solar thermal installations) and České Slunce
(12 MWp of photovoltaic installations) 70 new municipalities have joined the League
(there are 697 municipalities in the League now)
Our players have become participants in the new European RES Champions League (RES CL)
Prague (LEA) – During the Roofs and Solar fair in Prague the civil association League of Ecological Alternatives (LEA) announce champions
of the 6th year of the so-called Solar League in the CZR, a competition among municipalities in solar energy utilization. The announcement of new solar winners in front of interested audience is followed by a presentation of those that took winning places within the six categories of fighting for sun points and of attractive projects, which use the sun energy for warm water production, additional heating, or electricity production.
This popular competition has been organized by LEA since 2004, with the effort to systematically make visible domestic and foreign experience, such as technical innovations and actual trends that can impress mainly municipal politicians and officers, but also the wider public. The goal is to highlight and further develop public interest in the whole range of contributions offered by the ever more promising branch of solar power in the Czech Republic.
‘In our solar league, inspired by the same competition in Germany, municipalities - like in sport - compete for prestigious ranking. However, this game is not played for the pleasure of spectators but for the benefit of ecological, health, economic, social and other benefits of solar installations for citizens, communities and businessmen’, explains Karel Merhaut from LEA on behalf of the organizer of the competition. ‘Everyone who simply registers an area of collectors for warm water production or heating or panel power for the electricity production, earns for his/her municipality, where these systems are placed, points, which determine the ranking. Publicity of results, and municipal and business activities facilitate the ecological feeling at the place, understanding of solar installations benefits for cleaner air, dissemination of information exchange in the field, and helps municipalities to better green-image and therefore enables their advertising for free, and raises even the tourist interest in them. Not just the previous winners can confirm it.’ In the 6th year of the competition (finished on 23 January 2010) Ostrožská Lhota village from the Zlín region (right in three categories), further Plzeň city, the South-Moravian Dubňany town and Rusava village (from the Zlín region as well) won the Czech Solar Champion title.
| |
The main throne in the general category experienced rotations in July, when the once and future champion Ostrožská Lhota attacked the head from the 4th position thanks to HiTechSolar and Solinvest companies, who increased the solar power plant output by 0.65 MWp to present 2.25 MWp.
|
| |
For the first time in the history of the competition a town attacked the absolute front rank. The South-Moravian town Dubňany were helped towards the 2nd place by complementing the existing systems (two solar parks from Sluneta company and a smaller system with vacuum collectors) with a new solar park by 1.136 MWp (of the same company) to today’s 4.014 MWp.
|
| |
At the end of 2009 the company České slunce signed on two solar parks in Vranovská Ves village in Znojmo region with the output of
4.488 MWp and of 3.7 MWp. This small village with 260 inhabitants and the total output of 8.2 MWp swung up suddenly into the front seats
among municipalities with the largest installed capacity of solar power plants in the CZR, although this meant (thanks to point key) ‘only’
the 7th to the 8th place in the general category and the 5th to 6th place in the photovoltaic category.
|
| |
The city Plzeň experienced a right photovoltaic boom; in its cadastral area one gigawatt-hour of solar energy per year will be born now. It is not thanks to any large installation but a variety of smaller systems often supported by the city’s own public subsidy policy. Despite the fact that Plzeň has stopped its contributions to solar resources already, it foresees the continuation of the trend.
|
| |
Thanks to large recent photovoltaics, the towns Mnichovo Hradiště and Náměšť nad Oslavou took the ‘medal’ positions, both in the category of municipalities with 5,000 to 50,000 inhabitants.
|
| |
The dynamic photovoltaic field, whose the volume in 2009 is estimated at around 30 billion CZK (approx. 4% of the national budget), showed by the last year expansion that it is no longer a dwarf but a modern energy sector, which has future potential to compete with conventional energy sources. It is expected that the trend will not be changed even reduction in the positive settings of support pursued by the government; thanks to the support the aggregate installed capacity was 470 MWp in the CZR (by ERO) in mid-January 2010, compared to expectations of some 200 MWp...
|
| |
The size of solar power stations is growing. While in the Czech Republic we have sources with the output of 4 MWp, the solar power park of 60 MWp operates in Europe already.
|
| |
The South-Moravian town Bzenec, which scored in 2006 for the first time with a small photovoltaic installation on a family house roof, was catapulted onto the 6th position this year thanks to two blocks of the solar park. It became the jumper of the year.
|
| |
An ambitious subsidy program Green Savings helped to increase the interest in the thermal systems. The State Environmental Fund had accepted 1269 applications by the end of 2009, while the total amount awarded subsidies was almost CZK 86 million.
|
| |
The before unbeatable champion Rusava village was now able to defend their primacy only in the category of thermal systems. This happened despite the fact that some 21 panels were stolen by thieves from the local largest installation of 540 m2 thermal collectors at the swimming pool.
|
| |
Jindřichův Hradec experienced a new impulse - numerous installations in private houses and the large filed of collectors in the swimming area. It got another 46 collectors, thus found itself in the elite four largest solar-thermal systems in the CZR.
|
| |
The most active companies were JH Solar Plavsko (they signed on 692 m2 of solar thermal installations) and České Slunce (12 MWp of photovoltaic installations).
|
| |
The South-Moravian region recorded the biggest increase in points for the signed-on systems.
|
| |
The honorary title for the solar publicist was not awarded this year.
|
The European RES CL started in April in Brussels and in May in Prague. Six countries including the CZR are playing in the field of utilization of solar as well as biomass energy now. The CSL thus won also European dimension and resonance. Its ‘players’ are popularized internationally on the portal www.res-league.eu in English and Czech languages and selected good examples in the languages of other participating countries (Germany, France, Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria). Participants from the CZR could be actually inspired by communal activities and interesting projects from other countries. In the context and with the support of EU-league various events started being organised: a study travel around solar installations ‘TOP Moravia’, a local conference about biomass heating in the Zlín region and a national discussion workshop on solar energy (for more information see www.solarniliga.cz).
Note: just a part of the number of solar systems is signed in the league. This is due to investors' willingness degree, interest from the municipal council representatives, sometimes due to ignorance regarding the competition, sometimes due to the fact (e.g. in the case of large solar power plants), that investors do not want to ‘waste the time’ in the field of education, while the state support of solar energy is falling down and they play against the clock on the maximum profits from their solar parks,...
