JA Solar Holdings Co. has announced that it is supplying 404 MW of its high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) modules to a solar power station located in Puerto Libertad, Mexico, being developed by ACCIONA Energy in a joint venture with Tuto Energy.
The 404 MW plant is one of the largest utility-scale solar projects in the region. It is expected to produce 963 GWh per year and offset the emission of 925,443 metric tons of carbon dioxide emission.
Located in the Sonoran Desert in Mexico, the project is under the extreme environmental conditions of high temperature, ultraviolet radiation and sandstorms. As a result, there is a stringent requirement for the high reliability of solar modules deployed in the region. JA Solar's products have passed various endurance and environmental tests, including drought and sand tests, dry heat and damp heat tests, and are able to perform well in those extreme conditions, providing a strong guarantee for increasing power generation.
