Seven pole-mounted trackers with 200 solar modules make
up the 50 kW photovoltaic solar array. VISSOLIS is using
solar energy to turn an empty plot of land into an income
producing asset for our investors and the community.
Through our workforce and college student training
program we provided value to experienced and future solar
installation and sales professionals and create a basis for
new local jobs.
“VISSOLIS is pleased to bring this innovative solar technology and international

Oak Ridge Solar Park
The dual-axis-tracker project in the Oak Ridge Heritage Center is part of the worldwide
“dena Solar Roofs Program” coordinated by Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) the German Energy Agency - and co-financed by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) within the initiative „renewables – Made in Germany“.
The “dena Solar Roofs Program” was developed by the Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH
(dena) – the German Energy Agency. Launched in 2004, this program, co-financed
by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, supports German solar energy
companies entering new markets. Within the framework of the program reference and
demonstration projects are installed on the roofs of designated institutions in different
countries around the world. The installation is accompanied by comprehensive marketing and training programs. These ‘beacon projects’ impressively present high-quality
solar technology Made in Germany.
The initiative „renewables - Made in Germany“ was launched by the German Parliament in 2002 and is run by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. The main
objective is to contribute to climate protection by stimulating the acceptance and use
of renewable energy around the world. By showcasing Germany‘s technical expertise in
the field of renewable energy and by organizing business trips to and from Germany,
the export initiative facilitates business contacts between companies in Germany and
abroad. The platform www.renewables-made-in-germany.com provides information
about German renewable energy technologies and contact data of German suppliers.
The Transatlantic Climate Bridge Initiative works to connect all those who seek to make
a difference – at the local, the state and the federal level. The aim is to support platforms and partnerships that help Americans and Germans exchange their know-how
and to pave the way for joint solutions.
