Description:

The 60MWac plant Located in the Qinghai province in the northwest of the Peoples Republic of

China. The solar park is located on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau and sits above 9,000ft in altitude.

This plant was developed and is owned and operated by Suncore Photovoltaic Technology Co. Ltd.

Upon commissioning this plant was the largest CPV installation worldwide.




The latest Suncore CPV solar system for utility-scale projects has a rated power of 2.336kW. The

system was designed for ease of installation and inexpensive operation and maintenance. Modules

can be installed on low profile pedestal 2 axis tracking system which minimize foundation and

installation requirement and allows for optimization of filed packing density with little shadowing.

Modules and motors are easily accessed from the ground, or with a short step ladder, facilitating

easy and cost effective cleaning and maintenance. Each system can be remotely operated and

controlled to ensure maximum availability and perfect tracking.

LTM�Specifications

Chart 1

The LTM low profile modules are Suncore’s most cost effective and efficient module to

date. LTM modules have an efficiency of 30.5% maximizing the ability to convert

sunlight to electricity, making it the ideal choice for the sunniest locations around the

world. The light and thin design allows for increased packing density and reduced

shipping cost. Modules are easily installed by hand, eliminating the need for large

installation equipment such as cranes and forklifts.
