The Wenzhou Taihan 550MW aquaculture-PV complementary solar plant, built on tidal land, has been connected to the Chinese power grid.
The installed capacity of clean energy power generation in the local power grid will increase by about 26% now the plant is operational.
It is estimated that on an annual basis, this plant would generate 650 million kilowatt-hours, reducing CO2 emissions by 648,000 tonnes.
The plant uses 1.396 million pcs Chint Astro 450Wp mono-Si PV modules, covering an area of about 4.7km square.
In order to tackle such a complicated project over the sea, the team of CHINT has come out with a variety of innovations regarding the marine function exploitation, which were great contributions to the PV industry.
Astronergy/Chint has been designed to enhance the green development of the cities and bringing the clean energy from the sea to the cities.
The project combines the PV generation with the land reclamation, and the power generation with the aquaculture.
Astronergy/Chint is also the O&M service provider.
