LONGi has supplied 19.2MWp of its high-efficiency modules for a project at Changi airport, designed and executed by Terrenus Energy, a leading solar IPP in Singapore, awarded phase 2 of the ‘SolarLand’ project (SL2) by JTC Corporation.
Operating near the airport, SL2 makes use of state-of-the-art RE technology, including a first-of-its-kind containerized mobile substation which unlocks the near-instantaneous redeployment of the substation unit.
The original capacity awarded was 12MWp. LONGi’s high efficiency Hi-MO 5 series modules, together with Terrenus Energy’s innovative project design, anchored by an advanced portable and compact mounting system, give SL2 one of the highest solar intensity profiles in the world. Terrenus Energy subsequently raised the total capacity to 19.2MWp, representing a 60% increase in energy density.
The project is expected to generate an annual 23.9GWh of clean energy, eliminating around 10,000 tons of carbon emissions.
Mr Charles Wong, Terrenus Energy’s CEO, commented: “Terrenus Energy is proud to complete such a landmark project – currently the largest ground-mounted solar energy site in Singapore. Its inventive design optimizes clean energy generation, resulting in steeper cost savings and project returns.”
“We are delighted to have cooperated with Terrenus Energy in achieving a remarkable solar intensity profile for SL2,” added Dennis She, LONGi Group Vice President. “LONGi aims to continue to develop the highest efficiency module technology, providing outstanding value for partners around the globe.”
