A Key Step in Cyprus’ Renewable Growth: The Malounta 2017 Solar Project

A Vision for Sustainability

Situated in the picturesque village of Malounta, Cyprus, the Malounta 2017 Solar Project reflects SUNEL Group’s vision to lead the renewable energy transformation. With a capacity of 3 MW, this project was designed to utilize Cyprus’s abundant sunlight to generate clean, sustainable energy. Equipped with Qcells panels, ABB inverters, and an Alumil mounting system, the project combines advanced technology and sustainable practices to contribute meaningfully to the country’s renewable energy targets.

Overcoming Challenges with Innovation and Teamwork

The Malounta Solar Project presented challenges typical of mid-sized solar installations, including site optimization to maximize energy output and ensuring seamless integration of cutting-edge components. The project utilized a fixed tilt structure, selected for its durability and ability to provide consistent energy generation with minimal maintenance. This design choice allowed the team to adapt the system to the specific site conditions, ensuring efficiency and reliability over the long term.

The team’s use of Qcells panels required careful positioning to enhance efficiency, while the ABB inverters and Alumil mounting system provided the stability and reliability needed for long-term performance. SUNEL Group’s experienced team approached these challenges with a blend of technical ingenuity and teamwork. Through innovative design and precise execution, the project was completed on time in 2017, delivering reliable energy production while meeting strict quality and safety standards.

The Human Impact

The Malounta Solar Project is a testament to the dedication of a skilled team of 40 engineers, technicians, and local contractors who worked collaboratively to bring this vision to life. Their efforts ensured the project’s technical success and created valuable economic opportunities for the community.
