A 1GW solar-storage project in northwest China is now operational, with Trinasolar supplying 210MW of its high-efficiency Vertex N 720W series modules. Scheduled for grid-connection by the end of this year, the project is expected to generate an annual 1.72 billion kWh of electricity.
This project offers significant environmental benefits, being forecast to save some 519,000 tons of standard coal each year, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.424 million tons, sulfur dioxide by 173.7 tons and nitrogen oxide by 261.4 tons.
Beyond clean energy, the project also contributes to the ecological restoration of the Gobi desert. By installing solar panels over land areas, the project helps to mitigate wind erosion, stabilize sand and promote vegetation growth, improving the local ecosystem.
Cao Yunduan, head of global branding and marketing, commented: “We are delighted to see Trinasolar products being applied once again in a desert region. As an industry leader, we continue to explore new scenarios, meeting the diverse needs of customers in challenging environments, including deserts and extreme climates.”
