Russian solar manufacturer and developer Hevel Group has commissioned 100 MW Nura solar power plant (SPP) in Kazakhstan. The plant is one of the largest SPP in the CIS region. Nura is the first SPP project commissioned by Hevel outside Russia. The construction and implementation of the SPP were financed with the support of the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB).
The PV plant covers an area of 300 hectares and is comprised of 268 thousand solar modules. Hevel’s own heterojunction (HJT) bifacial PV modules were employed in the project. This module range features the best temperature coefficient (-0.31%/degC) and bifaciality factor (up to 90%) among the commercial PV technologies currently presented in the market. The bifacial gain combined with the intrinsic features of HJT technology will allow to achieve better output, especially in the hot climate conditions.
