JinkoSolar to Supply PV Modules Worth 126 MW for Chile Project

• JinkoSolar will supply 126 MW of solar modules for the development of an existing 160 MW solar PV park in Chile.

JinkoSolar, one of the largest solar module producers on the planet, has actually announced that it will provide 126 MW of solar modules for the growth of an existing 160 MW solar PV park in Chile.

The neighborhood specialist recently introduced the 126 MW expansion of an existing 160 MW PV park located in the Antofagasta Region. The existing PV plant has been in operation since 2016 and currently has 668,160 JinkoSolar panels set up which generate 400 GWh each year. The growth will certainly add an additional 315,900 JinkoSolar bifacial modules.

As soon as the expansion is total as well as begins operations, the PV plant will have a total of 984,060 PV panels consisting of both monofacial and also bifacial modules that are able to create 789 GWh per year.

" This is the second project in Latin America to be geared up with our bifacial modules with transparent backsheets," commented lberto Cuter, General Manager LATAM of JinkoSolar.

" Chile is the largest market for utility-scale tasks in the region as well as we are constantly working to promote our high-grade modules there in order to support the growth of renewable energy. The expansion of the PV plant outfitted with our bifacial modules has already created reduced LCOE and has the ability to take on standard sources of power. We are anticipating to offer more bifacial modules in the coming few months across the region."

Last month, we had actually reported that the firm had actually protected its first project in Latin America to provide its bifacial modules containing clear backsheets. According to the bargain, the business was acquired to supply 60.9 MW of solar PV modules for the very first industrial hybrid plant, consisting of solar and wind energy, in Chile.

The construction of the hybrid PV plant is expected to be completed by early 2021 and will certainly make use of approx 154,710 bifacial panels made by JinkoSolar to generate an estimated 184 GWh of electricity annually.
