JinkoSolar has provided PV modules for a 5.75MW solar project, the company has announced. The project is located on a formerly idle landfill site in Canton, Massachusetts, 15 acres in size, and has been developed in collaboration with Southern Sky Renewable Energy (SSRE). The site is part of an abandoned industrial site known as ‘brownfields’ and JinksoSolar has been working on the design and development of the PV project with ISM Solar Solutions and SSRE. The US$25 million PV plant will be equipped with 19,844 JinkoSolar modules and is expected to be completed later this year.

“Redevelopment projects like this bring a multitude of benefits to local communities, in addition to the inherent advantages of clean, renewable power generation,” Arturo Herrero, chief marketing officer at JinkoSolar, explained. “As a global company with a vested interest in the communities where we do business, we strive to partake in sustainable solutions that are economically – and environmentally – viable in the long run. We are proud to be a part of this project in partnership with SSRE because it sets the stage for a new era of vitality in Canton.”

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.

  • Manufacturing The Solar Future: The 2013 Production Annual

    In the ever-changing global solar markets, cost reduction and measures to increase cell efficiencies are the key tools available to PV manufacturers to create new opportunities and drive your business to the next level. Manufacturing the Solar Future 2013 is the third in the Photovoltaics International PV Production Annual series, delivering the next instalment of in-depth technical manufacturing information on PV production processes designed to help you gain the competitive edge.
