Greece has made a new breakthrough in renewable energy generation. Opening a 204-megawatt (MW) solar farm, the country has become the owner of the largest solar farm with double-surface panels in Europe.
Double-surface panels can produce more energy
Wanting to increase its energy production capacity from renewable sources to 19 gigawatts by 2030, Greece recently announced that they have officially opened a solar farm that is expected to produce 350 GWh of electricity that can power 75,000 homes per year. .
Developed within the scope of a 130 million Euro project, the farm has 500,000 double-surface solar panels. The generated energy will be connected to Greece’s electricity grid in a few weeks.
Hydrogen can cause more global warming than CO2
Double-sided solar panels can produce one-third more energy than single-sided solar panels, as they can generate electricity from both their front and back surfaces. Greece aims to meet 35% of its energy consumption from renewable sources by 2030.
