Trina Solar Limited (NYSE:TSL) ("Trina Solar" or "the
Company"), a global leader in photovoltaic modules, solutions and
services, has supplied PV modules totaling 61MW for the
Green
Tower
project in the German federal state of
Brandenburg
.
More
than 252,000 multi-crystalline Trina Solar modules, each with an average output
of more than 240Wp, have been installed on the former Preschen airfield in
Jocksdorf
,
Brandenburg
. Following
a land conversion process, the compound was developed into a giant solar farm
with rows of modules extending for more than a kilometre. The PV park that now
covers the former military field has been fully commissioned and is considered
to be one of the most efficient plants in the world. It provides clean solar
power covering the annual energy needs of approximately 17,000 households.
"Selecting Trina Solar as our main module provider was a very good
choice," said Alfred Behrens, CEO at AB Unternehmensberatung &
Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, who initiated the project. "Because
construction advanced well ahead of schedule, we ordered an additional 5.5MW of
modules, which Trina Solar was able to provide and deliver to the site in just
three days. Delivery capacity like that is hard to beat. And in terms of
product quality, Trina Solar is top-class."
"We are glad to have contributed to the success of this solar farm as the
main module provider," said Ben Hill, Head of Europe at Trina Solar. "Their
decision to work with Trina Solar clearly endorses our corporate strategy and
priorities: high quality and adherence to schedules, and being flexible when
parameters change -- these are the ingredients you need to make large-scale
projects like this successful."
