tb.glarus connects the largest solar community in Glarus to the grid
On 23 November, Technische Betriebe Glarus (tb.glarus) commissioned the solar plant of its sixth solar community, the largest in the canton. The Stampfrüti plant in Glarus is expected to generate 128,000 kilowatt hours per year. Most of the shares have already been allocated.
tb.glarus is also enabling tenants to participate in the expansion of solar energy. As the Glarus-based utility announced, it commissioned the system at the Stampfrüti stable on 23 November. This is the company’s sixth solar community and the largest to date in the canton of Glarus.
With an area of 707 square metres, the system is expected to generate 128,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. According to tb.glarus, 95 per cent of the 707 solar panels have already been sold. The one-off investment in the Stampfrüti plant offers tb.glarus customers a fixed credit for solar power over 20 years.
The six solar communities have a total output of 519 kilowatt peak and generate around 490,000 kilowatt hours per year on an area of over 2500 square metres. tb.glarus is looking for further roof areas that are suitable for solar communities.
