Canadian Solar, in partnership with Ningxia Electric Power Group, has now completed the construction and grid connection of a 10MW ground-mounted solar project in north west China.

The project – delivered through an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis – is part of a 50MW solar plant located in Hongsibao, Ningxia. This 10MW project consists of an 8MW fixed system and a 2MW tracking system. The development is expected to generate 13.5 million kWh and will reduce CO2 emissions by 18,900 tonnes a year, the equivalent of saving 5,200 tonnes of coal.
