“Our success in developing and exhibiting this technology is a major milestone on the road of national solar photovoltaic power acceptance,” said CNPV’s CEO, Zhang Shunfu. “CNPV is very pleased and honoured to play a leading role in the development of the largest utility scale on-grid solar PV power plant in Shandong Province, which represents a major milestone in the development of China's renewable energy industry.

“We are supremely grateful to our strong internal team and the outstanding support from leading government officials. Together we have demonstrated that our city can play a principal role in the world’s green energy transformation and are subsequently now actively exploring our next and bigger venture.”
