The Bavaria Solarpark was constructed and is operated by the American company SunPower.
It consists of 57,600 solar panels (model PowerLight NT-5AE3D by Sharp) mounted on SunPower's solar trackers and covers a total area of 40 hectares (99 acres).[1]
Inaugurated on 30 June 2005, the solar farm was grid-connected six months later in December 2005.
For a few months, the Solarpark Mühlhausen was the world's largest photovoltaic power station.
