Jindo
County, South Korea: Samsung‘s ‘Sol-Luce Jindo’ Solar Plant Implements
Tracking Technology
Samsung
C&T Corporation recently dedicated the 3 Megawatt “Sol-Luce Jindo”
solar photovoltaic power plant in Jindo County, South Jeolla Province
in Korea. Sol-Luce Jindo will provide electricity to 1,500 families
in the region.
The
“Sol-Luce Jindo” Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant |
S-Energy
Co. Ltd. designed and built the system utilizing their solar modules
and the SunSeeker® Single-Axis Tracker System by Thompson Technology
Industries (TTI) The SunSeeker System allows for greater energy
production over traditional fixed-tilt mounting systems.
The single-axis tracking technology follows the path of the sun
daily, resulting in 10-20% production gain over fixed tilt systems
and up to 25% over flat mounted systems.
“We
looked at various solutions, and TTI gave us a true advantage
in large-scale solar system construction at a competitive price.
System installation was quick and efficient resulting in lowered
installation costs. The SunSeeker’s robust design and construction
combined with its low energy consumption ensures we are providing
our clients with the best return on investment possible,” said
Mr. Hong Sung-min, President and CEO of S-Energy.
Construction
of the project was completed in two phases and the entire 3 MW
system took less than 3 months to build.
The
system is comprised of 17,136 S-Energy 175-MQ modules spanning
86,000 square meters, using only 12 drive motors to actuate the
sections of the SunSeeker tracker.
“We
were happy for this opportunity to expand the installed base of
our Sunseeker tracker into international markets. Korea is clearly
a growth region for the solar industry and we are honored to have
partnered with Samsung and S-Energy on this project,” stated Kris
Jernstedt, Vice President, Sales and Marketing of TTI.
