!!!Photovoltaik

Photovoltaics (solar energy), among  alternative energy sources of 
particular importance in Austria for the power supply, independent of 
the public supply system, to individual buildings in mountain areas, 
which greatly reduces the operating time of diesel power units. 
Storage batteries are used as replacement on days with less solar 
radiation. At Hochleckenhaus (Steinbach am Attersee, Upper Austria) a 
photovoltaics plant is operated by the  Energie AG Oberoesterreich and 
the Alpenverein.

\\
Apart from the autonomous solar power plants which are already being 
operated, there is an increasing market for energy sources with the 
object of reducing power consumption generated by the supply grid. In 
Austria, photovoltaics plants of this kind are given financial 
support. Projects such as the 30 KW-plant on Loser mountain near 
Altaussee and the 40 KW-plant near the Westautobahn at Strasswalchen 
(both Energie AG Oberoesterreich and Verbund) are being carried out 
for experimental purposes.
