Theme:
Large-scale Solar Heating Plant Marstal

Motto:
This innovative solar heating plant meets a large part of the energy needs of the city of Marstal/Danmark

Realization: :
Marstal Fjernvarme, Denmark

1980 began the small Danish city Marstal, to change over their energy supply to regenerativ energies and the at present largest solar plant for long-distance heating was built.

Operator of the system is a cooperative, Marstal Fjernvarme, in which all inhabitants are involved. Chairman is Niels Aage Jensen. The solar heating factory, which consists of 720 solar panels, cost five million DM. When planning and building of the system Niels Aage Jensen could fall back to the experiences of other solar plants, since between many operators of such systems an active information exchange takes place.

Approximately 15% of the power requirement of the city in the winter and almost 100% in the summer months are covered by solar power. The system is merged into nature, and between the collectors sheeps mow down the grass.
