GCL SI supplies 1.23 GW of modules for desert PV project
Solar module manufacturer GCL System Integration (GCL SI) has announced that it has delivered 1.23 GW of its NT12R/66GDF high-efficiency modules for Shenergy’s 2 GW PV project in Hami, Xinjiang. Located in Tacheng, Xinjiang, this project is being built with a total investment of about RMB 5 billion ($697 million), covering roughly 11.85 million m2. It adopts a ‘PV + ecological restoration’ model, utilizing desertified land resources for green energy development, with an expected cumulative power generation of 32.59 billion kWh over a 25-year period.
The modules supplied to this project feature resistance to wind and sand, corrosion, and UV, along with enhanced durability. According to the company, these products have passed IEC 61215-2:2021 testing, with thermal cycle tests increased to 600 and power degradation controlled within 2%.
