An agrivoltaics power plant on the plateau of Guizhou province, southwestern China, has been connected to the grid using Trinasolar Vertex N 720W series modules. With a total capacity of 67.5MW, the plant, owned by CNNP Rich Energy Guizhou with EPC activities delivered by the Henan Fifth Research and Design Corporation of CNNC, is expected to save an annual 20,900 tons of standard coal, while eliminating 57,100 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
The plant site enjoys abundant levels of sunlight, receiving some 1,100 hours of usable sunshine each year, and offers vast swathes of unused land, thus making it an ideal location for photovoltaic development. The grid connection not only improves the local energy mix, but also strengthens regional power supply. By contributing to energy conservation and emissions reduction, the project supports the region’s transition toward a greener economy.
The project integrates livestock breeding or farming beneath elevated solar modules, allowing livestock and renewable energy production to coexist.
Trina sales manager Li Lingao commented: “Trinasolar has significant experience in providing products and solutions to agrivoltaics projects worldwide, including several in New Zealand at Kohirā, Rangitaiki, Waikato and Te Herenga o Te Rā. We are delighted to deliver high-performance solar solutions for the growing renewable energy sector.”
