Landmark Achievement in Offshore Solar Energy
Grand Sunergy, a leader in solar technology, has achieved a significant milestone with the successful energization of the booster station at the CGN Yantai Zhaoyuan 400MW offshore photovoltaic project. This event marks the operational readiness of China’s first large-scale, pile-fixed deep-water offshore photovoltaic project in Laizhou Bay, Yantai.
Project Specifications and Innovations
The Yantai Zhaoyuan project spans approximately 6.44 square kilometers and consists of 121 photovoltaic sub-arrays with a 400MW AC-side rated capacity and a 539.3274MW designed DC-side installation capacity. It features Grand Sunergy’s Seapower Series 210-132 double-sided, double-glass high-efficiency HJT solar modules, designed specifically to withstand the harsh marine environment.
Enhanced Durability for Marine Conditions
Grand Sunergy has tailored its Seapower Series to meet the unique challenges of offshore settings, including high humidity, salt spray, corrosion, and extreme weather conditions. The modules incorporate 210mm large-size HJT cells, UV-resistant films, and high-resistance water-sealing butyl rubber edge sealing, which offers 99.9% reduced water permeability compared to industry standards.
Technological Advancements and Industry Impact
The project not only demonstrates Grand Sunergy’s commitment to advancing solar technology but also sets a significant precedent for the offshore solar industry in China. The use of innovative materials and processes significantly enhances the modules’ resistance to environmental factors, ensuring reliability and efficiency in power generation.
Future Prospects and Industry Influence
The success of the Yantai Zhaoyuan project is expected to have a strong demonstrative effect on the offshore solar industry, potentially leading to more large-scale developments in challenging environments. Grand Sunergy continues to push the boundaries of photovoltaic technology, promising a brighter future for renewable energy initiatives.
