Astronergy provides its PV panels for 1.65MW Munich RE solar plant in Thailand

Astronergy, a unit of Chint Group, advised that Munich RE had selected its thin-film amorphous microcrystalline silicon PV panels for a 1.65MW solar project in Thailand. The plant was commissioned on October 28 with Astronergy noting that various Chint subsidiary components were being used for including inverters and BOS system elements.

“Thin-film cells require less energy to manufacture and can be fabricated by a variety of processes. These key features provide a promising path for more affordable solar cells that can compete with the efficiency of the more common silicon-based solar cell, given the right climate region,” commented Dr. Liyou Yang, Astronergy’s CEO.
