CNPV completes 7 MW utility-scale solar power project in Shandong Province, China
EcoGeneration — May/June 2011
As part of the Chinese National Golden Sun Demonstration Project, the 7 megawatt project was designed, developed and implemented by CNPV to fully demonstrate the real-life capability of solar power generation.
Utilising CNPV high power, high efficiency premium modules, the 7 megawatt rating significantly exceeds the trial projects previously installed as proof-of-concept.
The project, which has an estimated investment of $25 million, is particularly suited to promote Shandong Province and the City of Dongying as leaders at the forefront of clean energy production, as well as promoting the specific benefits of solar photovoltaic power generation.
The project’s electricity generation is enough to provide for 8,000 homes, saving 8,000tonnes per year of carbon dioxide.
