Located on an altitude of 4,500m, the Nagu prefecture has an average of 2,900 hours of sunlight every year.
Trina Solar chairman and CEO Jifan Gao said quality irradiance in this region underscores its suitability for such a project.
"We are committed to providing quality products and excellent service in implementing this project, which we believe can benefit the local population," said Gao.
Trina Solar chief commercial officer Mark Kingsley said the off-grid project, which differs from utility scale projects in terms of set-up and components, will utilise Trina Solar’s specially-designed PC20 off-grid modules.
"We believe the off-grid market has the potential to bring another dimension of growth to the company," said Kingsley.
"These installations, believed to be one of the largest off-grid module orders in China, are especially suited for Tibet’s environment owing to its clean air, excellent sunlight, and challenges of rugged topography to extend traditional distributed power."
