Leoni will equip the Brandenburg
Lieberose solar farm with installation
cables capable of carrying electricity,
generated by the approximately 700,000
solar modules, to the system’s inverters.
More than 1,000 kilometres of this
sophisticated cable will be installed for
the purpose.
“It meets the heavy demands to which
the solar modules themselves are
also subjected,” explains Marc Ziegler,
purchasing coordinator of the project
developer, juwi solar GmbH.
Leoni’s cable is extremely weather
resistant and has an expected useful
life of at least 150,000 operating hours,
which allows it to be used for more than
thirty years.
The world’s second largest photovoltaic
plant, Lieberose will provide an annual
output of around 53 million kWh, which
covers the demand of 15,000 households.
juwi solar GmbH, a leading project
developer of solar, wind and bioenergy
plants, is building the solar farm across an
area of 162 hectares, the equivalent size
of more than 210 football fields.

ILES Srl works to develop energy-efficient
heat treatment plants.
The company has recently completed
a conveyor belt furnace with forced air
circulation, the model 2.72 R1, said to
save over 35 per cent of energy costs
compared with a conventional furnace
with the same technical characteristics.
The results of customer tests suggest
that it is possible to treat the material
effectively at lower temperatures.
The new plant also has the safety
advantage for operators of no hot
external components.
