SolarWorld AG completed the first solar power plant for the Vatican right next to St. Peter’s Cathedral. Some 2,394 solar modules will generate electricity on the roof of the Papal audience hall. Today’s audience of Pope Benedict XVI for more than 10,000 believers will already take place under the roof bedecked with solar modules. “This solar plant is designed to send out a visible signal for climate-friendly energy supply and the preservation of creation," said Frank H. Asbeck, Chairman and CEO of SolarWorld AG. The solar power plant on the roof of the Paolo VI audience hall has a peak total output of 221.59 Kilowatt (KW), enough to generate some 300,000 Kilowatt hours of electricity. This is equivalent to the annual needs of more than 100 households. The generation of this volume of clean energy is designed to avoid the emission of 225,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide.
