The Beijing-based company — China’s leading turbine supplier — describes the project as its first commercially proven, megawatt-scale micro-grid system.

It did not reveal the PV module supplier.

It says the installation, which features solar panels mounted on a dual-axis tracking system, has “laid a solid foundation” for its smart-grid business.

It tells Recharge that its micro-grid systems are ideally suited for use in industrial parks, as well as for applications in remote locations.

Etechwin, a wholly owned group unit that has been developing smart-grid systems for more than five years, started building the project in an an industrial park in the city of Wuzhong, in China’s Ningxia Hui region, in July.
