AVASUN, a brand of STYX Sicherheitstechnik GmbH from Austria, is back in the UK.
One of Germany's largest installers of large-scale PV systems is planning its long-term commitment in the UK and has enlisted AVASUN as a specialist perimeter security partner for this purpose.
The first project, a 10 MW solar farm in Wales, was started. However, some special challenges had to be mastered. The main task in the preparation was to obtain the required permits and necessary certificates. The second challenge was the short time needed to implement the safety system at the PV park.
Since the PV plant was already handed over at the end of December, AVASUN had approx. 10 weeks from order placement to completion, which can definitely be considered sporty in view of delivery times and scheduling in ongoing operations.
The second project to secure a solar farm in the size of 67 MW in England has already been ordered.
The preparatory work (pre-assembly and extensive preliminary tests of the security system at the site in Fohnsdorf) has been completed; thus, nothing stands in the way of a successful implementation. For us at AVASUN, it is important to prepare the entire system in advance at the site, to have a test run of at least 2 weeks and - before the safety system is delivered to the PV plant - to also carry out an in-house acceptance test for quality assurance.
The first on-site construction phase will begin as early as May. As the completion and commissioning is to take place in July, the time window of 8 weeks is also quite tight here. Further solar farms to be secured in England, which are to be built scattered over the "island", are already in preliminary planning.
