MiaSolé celebrates Wales solar park CIGS PV installation by sponsoring ArtAt Festival 

MiaSolé of Santa Clara, CA, USA, which was founded in 2001 to make copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film photovoltaic panels, has announced its sponsorship of the ArtAt 2011 Festival to commemorate the launch of the new Western Solar Park at Rhosygilwen, Wales. The festival takes places on 26–29 August in Rhosygilwen’s extensive grounds. 

The solar park is a first for Wales and one of the largest in the UK. Comprising over 9000 panels totaling 1MW, the park will generate enough energy to power 600 homes when connected to the UK’s national grid this summer, creating a large carbon-neutral region in North Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion. The park is also the first site in the UK where MiaSolé CIGS panels are installed (by Czech installer FitCraft Production).

Now in its fourth year, ArtAt exhibits works by nationally recognized and emerging artists with connections to Wales. Many of the works created for this year’s festival reflect the artists’ concerns with environmental, recycling, and green energy issues.
