Photon Energy will take part in the construction of a 311 kWp rooftop PV installation in Ruda Slaska, Southern Poland. When completed in mid 2012, it will be the largest rooftop solar power installation in Poland.

It will be will be located on the roof of the Upper Silesian water utility company - Górnośląskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów S.A. (GPW), the largest water supplier in Poland, which will also act as an investor in the project. In partnership with Photon Energy, RenCraft Sp. z o.o, a company that has hitherto specialized in biomass energy generation, participated in and won the public tender to design and construct the photovoltaic installation in Ruda Slaska. The role of Photon Engineering s.r.o., a 100%-owned subsidiary of Photon Energy, will be to provide engineering works, technology procurement and construction services.

Completion of the 311 kWp rooftop solar power plant will mark Photon Energy’s entrance into the Polish PV market, to which the company has been inclining, notwithstanding the country’s weak support for renewable energy sources (RES).
