The Heinineva solar park in Lapua, Finland, features approximately 123,000 solar panels and showcases how solar energy can evolve from a weather-dependent resource to an actively managed component of the energy grid. ABB has supplied a comprehensive electrification and automation solution, which includes a solar park controller on the ZEE600 platform, allowing for real-time data collection and integration with SCADA systems.

Additionally, the project includes EcoFlex container transformer stations, medium voltage switchgear, and innovative rotating solar panels to maximize energy output. Finland's solar initiative aligns with its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2035.
