First stage of large-scale solar project by Sun Investment Group is up and running in Gralewo, Poland. It will provide with amount of solar energy per day that equals 6 hours of daily TV for over 27 years.

July 25, 2018 – Warsaw, Poland. Poland, the most polluted EU country due to its dependency on coal energy, has just opened a new photovoltaic plant in the village of Gralewo, in northern Poland.
