First field solar PV plant in the Faroes inaugurated

The first field solar PV plant in the Faroe Islands has been inaugurated. It is located on an abandoned football field in the village of Sumba, the southern most village on the southern most island of Suðuroy. The 250 kWp plant, which is expected to generate approximately 160 MWh pr. year, is a test site, albeit not a big one.
