Trina Solar has connected three distributed generation projects totaling 27 MW to the grid in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, China at the end of December 2015.
The US-based Trina Solar has supplied approximately 110,000 Trina Solar Honey modules to power the Chinese solar project.
The solar company has installed the project on the rooftops of three large manufacturing factories located in the Suqian Economic & Technological Development Zone (SEDZ).
The company says that green electricity that the projects generate is expected to reach approximately 30 million kWh per year over the next 20 years, and is being supplied to the local grid to energize the SEDZ through power purchase agreements.
Trina Solar said the solar projects are eligible for a 20-year benchmark on-grid tariff of 1.0 RMB/kWhbased on the former feed-in-tariff program in China. In addition, the company will provide operations and maintenance services to the projects.
“The large number of facilities within the zone that have massive flat roofs makes it particularly well suited for the deployment of DG solar energy,” said Longxing Huang, president of the Distributed PV Generation Business Unit of Trina Solar.
