The largest photovoltaic park in Transylvania, with over 5,500 modules, will be built in Bistrita, with financing through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The deadline for completing the investment is the summer of 2024, according to a press release from the car battery manufacturer Rombat. The photovoltaic park will be built by Rombat and Datacor, a regional supplier of integrated solutions in the fields of solar energy, communications, and infrastructure.

The current project in Bistrita consists of the construction of a 4.2 MW photovoltaic park, which will include 5,538 photovoltaic modules, 545 W, monocrystalline, bifacial placed on the ground, and 2,304 photovoltaic modules, 545 W, monocrystalline, monofacial placed on the roof of the hall.

"With the help of 3.42 100 kW inverters and a transformer station, this installation will contribute to an annual reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 1,082 equivalent tons per year", informs the company.

In 2023, Rombat invested in increasing energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint by implementing an intelligent resource monitoring system, realized by building a 1 MW photovoltaic park in Copşa Mică.

At the same time, Datacor, one of the main integrators of electrical, telecom, and security systems in Romania, launched, last year, a new division called Datacor Green Energy, through which it offers a suite of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy solutions, to help Romanian companies to generate renewable energy for their consumption. In this way, the company ensures the design, installation, and complete maintenance of photovoltaic systems, taking care of all the details of the installation process of new solutions, from planning, legal validation, technical documentation, permits, approvals, implementation, and maintenance.

Rombat, founded in 1991, and based in Bistrita, is a manufacturer of car batteries.

Datacor is a regional provider of integrated solutions in the fields of solar energy, communications, and infrastructure. With its administrative and logistical headquarters in Bistrita, Datacor operates in several cities in Romania and offers customized services and solutions in the field of green energy, industry, and infrastructure.

The company has completed a series of projects, such as photovoltaic plants for Decathlon Ploiești, the Karcher headquarters in Bucharest, and the Multipurpose Hall in Bistriţa. As planned, Datacor is considering projects in the second half of the year, including the installation of a photovoltaic power plant on the ground with a capacity of 1 MW for Rombat, Copşa Mică, and the implementation of low current systems at the Braşov Maternity Hospital.
