JinkoSolar Holding has won a solar contract for the supply of PV modules to Decmil Australia.
The world’s largest solar module manufacturer will supply 255MWp of its solar panels for the Sunraysia Solar Farm developed by Maoneng Group.
The Sunraysia Solar Farm will be one of the largest solar farms in the world. The project will also include a large scale battery storage array.
Maoneng Group, an Australian-Chinese developer, has a development pipeline of 500MW of solar farms within Australia and sells energy and large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) to Australian businesses and governments.
Maoneng has commissioned a 13MW solar farm under the ACT Government’s Reverse Solar Auction scheme in November 2016. Maoneng reached financial closure for the 255MWp Sunraysia Solar Farm in October 2018.
The Sunraysia project will sell energy to UNSW Sydney over 15 years. The solar project is expected to generate around 400 construction jobs in Balranald.
“JinkoSolar’s solar panels deliver cost-competitive power with long-term reliability,” said Gener Miao, Sales & Marketing VP of JinkoSolar.
