Emerging solar power product manufacturer, JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd, announced that it has won a contract to deliver 81 MW of photovoltaic (“PV”) modules at a fixed price to WBHO-Building Energy (Pty) Ltd. (“WBHO-BE”) for the development of a solar PV park in South Africa.
The project is situated in Gamagara Local Municipality in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Per the agreement, JinkoSolar would supply a total of 344,540 PV high quality solar modules to WBHO-BE. The project will be constructed, designed and commissioned by WBHO-BE and is one of the first to be sanctioned under the government’s Renewable Energy Program.
The shipment of the PV modules is expected to conclude by late 2013, beginning in the first quarter 2013. With the completion of the program, it will become the largest PV solar project in South Africa.
The solar program will have an output capacity of around 146 Gigawatt-hour (“GWh”) and is anticipated to power about 12,000 homes. In addition, the project will help in reducing carbon emissions of roughly 145,800 tons on an annual basis.
