Solar Elements has been in the solar business for the past 15 years and in a field with a total output of 15 GWp (the same as 30 large coal power plants). Recently the company was recognised for its new solar cell installation on top of the UN building at Marmormolen in Copenhagen. Decisive factors to take the victory was the beautiful design of the installation and the high quality of the project. The solar cells produce 355 kWp.
