To be completed in the fourth quarter, the Hongyuan Huanju Ecological Energy and Ruoergai Huanju Ecological Energy projects have a capacity of 20MW each.
The projects will be co-owned by Sichuan Shengtian New Energy Development, SunPower’s project development joint venture, and Apple.
The Hongyuan project already has 2MW connected to the grid using SunPower’s LCPV tracker.
The tracker integrates single-axis tracking technology with rows of parabolic mirrors, reflecting light onto SunPower Maxeon cells.
Featuring SunPower’s light-on-land approach, which will allow pasture farming while power is generated, the projects will provide up to 80 million kilowatt-hours annually.
SunPower president and CEO Tom Werner said: "This is a tremendous groundbreaking collaboration, bringing together a diverse group of experienced partners from different parts of the globe to build renewable solar energy ventures that contribute to the local economy and the environment.
"These projects will provide clean, renewable energy, help address climate change, and continue to provide agricultural benefits to the local farmers, while protecting the area’s precious land."
Earlier, SunPower has delivered 90MW of six projects in California, Nevada and North Carolina, to Apple.
