The cell packages will be utilized for the first phase of two SunPower C7 Tracker projects, which comprises 20MW project in Saihan and 100MW project in Wuchuan, located in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.
Installation of the packages is expected to be completed in 2015.
In December 2012, the agreement for the Huaxia Concentrated Photovoltaic Power JV has been signed. It was officially approved and registered in November 2013.
SunPower, Tianjin Zhonghuan Semiconductor, Inner Mongolia Power, and Hohhot Jinqiao City Development are part of the JV.
SunPower president and CEO Tom Werner said the announcement is a first step in company’s efforts to break into the Chinese market.
"Working together with our strong local partners, we believe that we can deploy significant volumes of our SunPower C7 Tracker power plants to help serve China’s growing need for clean power," added Werner.
