So far, both the pile field and support structures for the PV modules have been constructed at the project site, which is located over 27 hectares of land. In addition, trenches have been constructed for 0.4 V cable lines, while the installation and connection of inverter equipment, indoor switchgear and an operational control station are underway.

The project is expected to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2017.

The warranty period for each module is expected to last for 15 years, while the service life of the station is tabbed for 25 years. Once completed, the installation will cut down on carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3,784 tonnes. Construction of the installation is expected to cost approximately US$52 million.
