The project, which will consist of 61,000 JinkoSolar high-efficiency PID-free modules, is located in Chile's Atacama Desert region.

The PV supplier does not give details of the project's developer or  schedule.

The Chinese company has over 160MW of contracts signed in Chile, said Alberto Cuter, Jinko's sales director for emerging markets.

"The increase in demand for renewable energy has turned Chile into one of the region's principal solar markets," he said.
