The array, which utilises 186,000 First Solar thin-film modules, was built for Hamburg- based Luxcara Asset Management.

Because the building plans were legally finalised before the cut-off date of 25 March, the second phase can be built in the second half of the year but will still be eligible for Germany’s current feed-in tariff (FIT).
