An international renewable energy developer and an electric power research institute jointly launched this autumn a 30MW solar PV project in Alar, Xinjiang. Clenergy won the bid for this project on the strength of its comprehensive skill set and proven track record on utility-scale projects. Thanks to Clenergy's efficiency in supplying tailor-made ground mount systems, the project is now in the final phase of construction.
Xinjiang has rich solar energy resources -- the region's average annual sunshine of 3,500 hours is the second highest in the country. While its vast deserts are highly suitable for large-scale PV power plants, the project site's complex climatic conditions (high wind and snow) is quite a challenge for PV mounting solutions. Featuring high strength and low weight, Clenergy's tailor-made ground mount solution and products are up to the challenge.
In this case, Clenergy boldly changes the traditional support structure of ground mount systems. This innovation reduces the system's weight and costs while enhancing installation efficiency. In addition, its components are all modular-designed, eliminating the need for welding on site. With a limited exception of stainless fasteners, the materials consist of C-steel with excellent surface coating. The inventive and reliable structure assures the system will withstand the severe local environment.
Clenergy's project engineering, technical support and customer service teams have shown their expertise and efficiency throughout the life of the company's projects, from the initial conceptual stage to project engineering, product manufacturing and delivery, and after-sales services. Clenergy's experienced on-site technicians, who follow up on the installation process and ensure the client receives useful and efficient feedback, guarantee the smooth installation of Clenergy products.
"This is the first cooperation between our companies," said Said Clenergy VP Mr. Wang. "The partnership shows once again Clenergy's popularity and its innovative potential in the PV mounting system market." Not long ago, another Awati 20MW PV project in Xinjiang, China, was signed by Clenergy and the client's electrical affiliate. Clenergy's first shipment of system components reached that construction site days ago.
