The company MT-KOMEX built a photovoltaic power plant in Sisak-Moslavina County in Croatia. For the first time, the company worked within the borders of the European Union, thus expanding its operations outside the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The project is located in the city of Novska, and it is a solar power plant on the roofs of buildings, with a total power of 280 kW AC and 340,625 kWp, for the investor Thermo Stone d.o.o. Novska. The construction of the solar power plant was completed in March of this year and put into operation.
Regarding equipment, the panels on the roofs are oriented southwest and northeast, with a slope that follows the roof line. This time, the company opted for Luxor Solar 545 Wp panels, inverters from Fronius and construction from K2 Systems for pitched roofs made of TR sheet.
The electricity produced on the roofs will be used exclusively for their own needs and will not be sent to the distribution network.
As the company was operating within the borders of the European Union for the first time, it is interesting to point out the differences and challenges they faced. However, there are no drastic variations in business.

Procedures and regulations
The works were carried out based on the prepared Main Project of electric power installations and the Electric Power Approval (EES) of the Croatian Electricity Company (HEP). The requirements and conditions of the EES had to be respected, and certain studies, one of which was the Study on the impact on the electric power network, also had to be carried out.
The procedure for building a power plant in Serbia is very similar. To begin with, Croatian Electricity Company is a counterpart to EPS, while EES is similar to UPP—Conditions for design and connection. The only difference is the slight difference in the aforementioned Study that needs to be prepared.
Essentially, both EES and UPP documents are necessary when planning, designing and implementing infrastructure projects and certain permits, such as connecting the facility to the power grid. Therefore, their goals coincide, while the terminology is the biggest difference.
When simpler projects are carried out without a building permit, there is the key challenges was actually the export of equipment, where export customs clearance from Serbia and import customs clearance for Croatia were done.
MT-KOMEX is an expert and reliable partner in the construction of solar power plants. During many years of business, the company has built and delivered equipment for more than 200 solar power plants on the ground and on roofs, the total installed power of which is more than 120 MW.
The professional team of the MT-KOMEX company is ready to provide clients with full support in all phases of the project at any time, from the development stage to the preparation of documentation for technical acceptance and obtaining a use permit on a turnkey basis.
