Shanghai’s First Distributed Solar Power Plant Generates 4.85 Million kWh of Electricity per Year, Saving 1,600 Tons of Coal – China Radio Network, March 8, 2017, 11:15:00. According to a report from China Radio Network in Shanghai on March 8 (reporter: Wu Shanyang; correspondent: Zhang Huaping), the city’s first distributed solar photovoltaic power plant that operates on a full grid-connected basis – the 4.8-megawatt distributed rooftop photovoltaic plant in the Lingang Fengxian Industrial Park, funded by the Complete Equipment Group under Shanghai Construction Engineering Group and operated by the Complete Equipment Import and Export Company – has generated 4.85 million kWh of electricity after one year of operation, which is 5% more than the estimated output； It saves 1,600 tons of standard coal per year, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 4,100 tons. As the world’s second-largest importer and consumer of energy, China has, by placing emphasis on and vigorously developing solar photovoltaic technologies and products, become a major global manufacturer of such technologies and products. Since 2008, in order to address the challenges related to photoelectric lighting in remote regions such as Tibet and Inner Mongolia, Shanghai Complete Set Group Import and Export Company has successfully promoted solar photovoltaic technologies and products in those areas, earning high praise for its efforts ； It also collaborated with the Shanghai Solar Photovoltaic Technology Center to successfully supply Finnish photovoltaic manufacturers with a complete set of photovoltaic technology production lines. As the first distributed solar photovoltaic power plant in Shanghai to operate on a full grid-connected model during the city’s 12th Five-Year Plan period, it was also the first project undertaken by Shanghai Complete Set Group Import and Export Company to keep up with market trends, accelerate its transformation in the field of new energy trade, and engage in the development of physical solar photovoltaic power plant projects. To ensure absolute reliability, the entire development, construction, and operation team started from scratch. After receiving systematic training on the construction processes, quality control, and risk management related to solar photovoltaic power plants, they focused on establishing sound management systems and implementing detailed supervision measures. They conducted on-site inspections of suppliers of solar panels, transformers, and other equipment, while also strengthening oversight over the production process of these devices. By paying close attention to project quality, equipment quality, and installation quality, they managed to complete the installation of solar panels on a roof covering over 70,000 square meters in just 3 months. With the commissioning of the solar photovoltaic power plants, the project team took prompt action to establish a complete set of management regulations for such plants. At present, Shanghai Complete Set Group Import and Export Company is actively seeking new partnerships. It has reached a preliminary agreement with Guangming Group to jointly develop high-quality distributed solar photovoltaic power stations. It has also partnered with GCL Group, the world’s second-largest company in the new energy sector, to carry out photovoltaic export and domestic trade activities through Shanghai Complete Set Group and its Singapore-based subsidiary, in an effort to create opportunities for the accelerated development of the energy-saving and environmental protection industry in Shanghai during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.
