The second project is located in the Municipality of Diego De Almagro, which Enel told PV Tech recently that it had already started construction on and would also be using 225,000, mostly a-Si thin-film modules manufactured at its JV subsidiary 3Sun in Italy.
JinkoSolar did not say what the module quantities were for the 36MW Diego De Almagro project. It would seem that JinkoSolar is supplying the largest amount of modules for the combined project total of 165MW.
Alberto Cuter, JinkoSolar's sales director of emerging market said: “The increase in demand for renewable energy has turned Chile into one of the principal solar markets, and by signing those contracts, we are continuing our strategy to diversify into emerging markets.”
