Winaico completes 16MWp PV project on Sardinia

  • Winaico has installed almost 70,000 WSP-235P6 modules at its 16MWp PV project in Giave, Sassari, Sardinia.
    Winaico has installed almost 70,000 WSP-235P6 modules at its 16MWp PV project in Giave, Sassari, Sardinia.

Winaico, a subsidiary of Taiwan-based Win Win Precision Technology, has completed its 16MWp PV project located in Giave in the province of Sassari on Sardinia.

Construction of the plant, which covers around 30 hectares of land, began on February 12, 2012. After 58 days of construction, the plant was connected to the public grid on June 26. According to Winaico, the plant will generate 26,252,226,00 kWh of solar power per year.

During this project, Winaico, which specializes in the manufacture of high-performance crystalline photovoltaic panels, became a general contractor for the very first time. In addition to supplying modules, the company was responsible for the planning, technical design and installation.

The PV system is equipped with 67,704 Winaico WSP-235P6 modules atop of greenhouses which are used for cultivating crops. Earlier this month, the PV modules passed potential-induced degradation (PID) testing conducted by TÜV Rheinland. Winaico’s modules passed the test with a reduction of performance of less than 1%. The plant is also equipped with inverters supplied by Solarmax and LTI.

  • 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.
