GCL System Integration Technology (GCLSI), a photovoltaics company, announced the first phase of the largest floating solar project – powered by GCLSI’s solar modules — in Albania, was connected to the grid.
Working with Ocean Sun, a Norwegian owner and developer of proprietary floating solar technology, GCLSI as a supplier, provides solar modules to the 2 MWp project on the Banja reservoir, which is now under construction.
“The cooperation identifies those products stamped by GCLSI have strong competitiveness in the global floating market,” said Thomas Kun Zhang, Executive President of GCLSI.
The collaboration with GCLSI has been excellent thanks to the high-performance modules and the professional and supportive GCLSI team, said Borge Bjorneklett, CEO of Ocean Sun.
The project, with an estimated investment of EUR 2 million, was overseen by Europe’s largest renewable energy producer, Statkraft, together with Ocean Sun.
The first implementation phase of the project comprises about 1600 solar panels, covering almost 4,000 square meters, with an installed capacity of 0.5 MWp.
The second phase adds a combined capacity of 1.5 MWp, and the construction is estimated to be completed by this year.
