The company MT-KOMEX built a photovoltaic power plant in Sisak-Moslavina County in Croatia. For the first time, the company worked within the borders of the European Union, thus expanding its operations outside the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The project is located in the city of Novska, and it is a solar power plant on the roofs of buildings, with a total power of 280 kW AC and 340,625 kWp, for the investor Thermo Stone doo Novska.
Work on the construction of the solar power plant was completed in March of this year and it was put into operation.
When it comes to equipment, the panels on the roofs are oriented southwest and northeast, with a slope that follows the roof line. This time too, the company opted for Luxor Solar 545 Wp panels, inverters from Fronius and construction from K2 Systems for pitched roofs made of TR sheet.
The electricity produced on the roofs will be used exclusively for own needs, without being sent to the distribution network.
As the company was operating within the borders of the European Union for the first time, it is interesting to point out the differences and challenges they faced, although there are no drastic variations in business.
IN FOCUS:
Procedures and regulations
The works are carried out on the basis of the prepared Main Project of electric power installations, as well as the Electric Power Agreement (EES) of the Croatian Electricity Company (HEP). The requirements and conditions from the EES must be respected, and it is also necessary to do certain studies, one of which is the Study on the impact on the electric power network.
The procedure for building a power plant is very similar to that in Serbia. To begin with, the Hrvatska elektroprivreda is a counterpart to the EPS, while the EES is similar to the UPP – Conditions for design and connection, with the exception that there is a slight difference in the aforementioned Elaborations that need to be prepared.
Essentially, both documents – EES and UPP – are necessary when it comes to planning, designing and implementing infrastructure projects and certain permits such as connecting the facility to the power grid. Therefore, their goals coincide, while the biggest difference is actually in the terminology.
When simpler projects are carried out without a building permit, there is a Rulebook on simple buildings, on the basis of which it is not necessary to have supervision, report works, or keep a construction diary, which is very similar to our rules. As for the project on which the expert team of the MT-KOMEX company worked, the engineers in charge of this task had to register the works and keep a construction diary according to their standards, given that in Croatia the diary is kept exclusively through the e-Citizens portal. which requires a building permit number, which is another difference. One of the key challenges was actually the export of equipment, where export customs clearance from Serbia and import customs clearance for Croatia were done.
The company MT-KOMEX is a professional and reliable partner in the field of construction of solar power plants. During many years of operation, the company has built and delivered equipment for more than 200 solar power plants on the ground and on roofs, the total installed power of which is more than 120 MW.
The professional team of the company MT-KOMEX is ready to provide clients with full support in all phases of the project at any time, from the development stage to the preparation of documentation for technical acceptance and obtaining a use permit, on a “turnkey” basis.
