With a total investment of 45 million euros, the project is due for completion in September 2017 and will include over 1,000 apartments and 1,800 panels placed on the roof blocks.
The solar panels will reduce maintenance costs, future owners benefiting in this context the zero cost of electricity consumed for common parts of blocks.
Located in the south of the city, close to Pietei de Gros, the project will have a total area of over 61,000 square meters and includes 15 residential buildings in height D + P + 5E, with a total of 1000 apartments with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms. Surfaces of the apartments range from studios and reach 38.4 sqm to 94 sqm for up to 3 rooms.
The first phase of construction includes 4 blocks with a total of 296 apartments and arranging walkways and seating areas, with the completion date of the end of December 2015.
Each block of the complex will be equipped with a power generation system consists of 120 photovoltaic solar panels, each placed in 6 rows of 20 panels and an inverter with which is converting from DC to AC. Unlike thermal solar panel, photovoltaic convert the light energy of sunlight directly into electricity.
Of the total power generation in 1800 PVs is estimated at over 600 MWh / year. Besides electricity produced and used to provide consumption per common parts (lighting interior / exterior, elevator, pumps, etc) photovoltaic system will generate income to obtain green certificates.
"Using PV is a trend that is growing by the day in Romania and behold extends in real estate," said Andreea Comsa, managing director of Premier Estate Management, the exclusive representative of the project.
For the purchase of housing in the Solar neighborhood, prices start at 30,500 euros (5% VAT included) for studios, 39.000 euro (5% VAT included) for 2 bedroom apartments, reaching 70.900 euro (5% VAT included) for 3 bedroom apartments.
