Naps Systems completed the largest photovoltaic project in Scandinavia

Naps systems has completed the largest photovoltaic project in Northern Europe in the city of Malmö. Located in Sege Park, the buildings, fitted with photovoltaics, provide accommodation for elederly people. Sege Park's rapid expansion is coupled with the ambition of the city of Malmö to be a worldwide model of an essentially solar energy-based city. The project is known as Solarcity. www.solarcity.se ]

"Our collaboration with the city of Malmö has always been excellent and the successful completion of this project reinforces our partnership. We are proud to contribute to the development of the Solarcity concept as it should not only serve as an example of a solar energy-based city but also illustrate the viability of such a model in high Northern latitudes" says Jan Wasastjerna, Naps Systems CEO.

Naps systems' solar grid-connected installation in Sege Park is 1250 square meters in area and is rated at 166 kWp. The two turnkey sub-systems are mounted on two roofs with a shape giving the impression of open wings. They weigh 70 tonnes each.

"The Swedish subsidies policy for public buildings initiated in 2006 has triggered the national solar business and made such projects as the one in Sege Park a reality in only a year. Naps Systems will contribute to as many initiatives of this kind as possible and will also be active in ensuring the continuation of this subsidy policy in the coming years" says Leif Sellhagen, Naps Sweden Managing Director.

Naps Systems Sweden is currently completing several other projects of similar scale and vision in Sweden.
