The park consist of Solarpark Schipkau (72 MWp), Solarpark Senftenberg I (12 MWp) and Solarpark Senftenberg II & III (78 MWp).[5]

The PV system uses about 636,000 solar panels provided by Canadian Solar and 20k-string inverters from REFUsol. It is also the first solar park to use a 690VAC gridvoltage for some of REFUsol's 333k HV central inverters.
