Case Details


 TECHNICAL CHALLENGES

Customized double-glass components (3.2mm+2mm ultra-white glass) are made by adding UV-resistant additives, which can withstand strong ultraviolet radiation at an altitude of 4,300 meters (with a radiation intensity 30% higher than that on the plain). The component degradation rate is controlled within 2% per year. This achievement reflects our engineering services company capability to deliver quality engineering services and engineering consulting services for challenging environments, ensuring long-term stability and reliability of the solar system project.

TRANSPORTATION INNOVATION
Due to the site's location in the Andes mountainous region, 70% of the equipment is transported by road, while 30% of the light equipment (such as inverters and cables) is transported by mule train (35 kilometers one way, taking 2 days), reducing the damage to mountain vegetation. This solution demonstrates how project management services and construction project management services can integrate custom engineering solutions with environmental protection practices, reflecting our commitment as a professional solar engineering company.

Project details and effectiveness
• Energy output: Under high altitude and strong irradiance, the annual power generation of the power station reaches 120 million kWh, which is 18% higher than the same capacity plain project. The generated power is connected to the main grid of Huhui Province through a 30 kilometer transmission line, alleviating the local dependence on natural gas power generation. This demonstrates power engineering solutions and integrated project solutions designed to expand clean energy while reducing fossil fuel reliance.

• Community support: Employ 150 local residents (including 30 indigenous people) during the construction period to build a photovoltaic microgrid (with a total capacity of 500kW) for two villages around the site, solving their long-term electricity shortage problem. Due to stable power supply, the medical station has added equipment such as electrocardiogram machines and vaccine refrigerators, which has increased its basic medical service capacity by 60%. This highlights the role of project development services, integrated engineering, and construction project management solutions in creating real social value. Our approach combines service engineering, electrical engineering, and architectural engineering expertise, making it a benchmark case for sustainable real estate development and resilient engineering service delivery.
