The 21.1MW order comes from Nan Xin Solar, a subsidiary of China Southern Power Grid, the largest provincial grid operator in China – and one of the country’s largest companies.

Delivery of the modules – which will be installed on rooftops in an industrial zone in Guangdong province, China’s most populous – will commence in May.

China, which has surged to become the world’s largest PV market by far, is attempting to pivot development away from utility-scale installations and towards rooftops, sparking a number of recent rooftop deals among the country’s top PV manufacturers.
