According to Suntech, it has supplied approximately 50% of all modules utilized in an 8.5MWp solar plant in Alange and a 7.4MWp solar plant in Alconera. The modules were installed on over 450 a+f SunCarrier trackers, which increase the power efficiency of the solar systems by up to 32% above that of fixed mounted solar systems.
The company said that, in total the two solar plants will produce enough energy to power around 9,300 households and save CO2 emissions of approximately 19,000 tons per year.
Suntech has built partnerships with solar project developers and distributors in Spain, Italy and Greece through the supply of solar modules. Suntech expects to ship over 230MW of solar modules to Southern Europe in 2008.
Jerry Stokes, president of Suntech Europe, said: “These solar projects illustrate the potential for inter-value chain collaboration to provide sustainable energy services.”
Suntech is engaged in the design and manufacture of solar energy services for customers and applications. The company has sales offices and installation partners in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
