Clenergy, best known for its mounting systems for utility-scale and commercial rooftop solar power systems, has financed and constructed a 30MW grid-connected PV plant in Zhongwei, China.

The company’s engineering subsidiary, Clenergy Engineering, constructed the project in China’s Ningxia province. It cost around RMB270 million (US$43.5 million) and was wholly financed by the parent company. The project will generate around 42 million kWh of power annually from its blue PV panels.

Located in the desert, Clenergy said the project was constructed in harsh climactic conditions, with temperatures in the area dropping to well below freezing at night. Beginning in October last year, construction was nonetheless completed within three months, the company said.

Clenergy, a Sino-Australian firm, has diversified from its mounting systems business into a number of areas including inverter manufacture in recent years. It also launched an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) subsidiary, Clenergy (Xiamen) Energy Engineering Company, into the Chinese market in late 2013.     

The PV developer to which Clenergy handed over the project once it was completed and connected was not named, but there is thought to be a strong likelihood it is a project that LDK Solar supplied with modules, which PV Tech reported on in December 2014.
