The Finsterwalde Solar Park was, in November 2010, the world's largest photovoltaic plant with 80.7 MWp.[1] The project is located in Finsterwalde, Germany and is equipped with Q-Cells modules and LDK solar wafers.[2]

The first phase of the project was commissioned in 2009, the second and third in 2010.[3] All phases were developed by Unlimited Energy GmbH. Phase I was sold to LQ Energy GmbH, a joint venture of Q-Cells International and LDK Solar. In 2011, Finsterwalde I was sold to LHI Leasing, a joint venture of Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and Nord/LB.[4]

In 2010, Unlimited Energy sold phase II and III to Q-Cells International. In 2011, Q-Cells sold Finsterwalde II and III to Blue Forrest Solar Holding, a joint venture of DIF Infrastructure and the NIBC European Infrastructure Fund.[5]
