Recently, China Power Construction Group Co., LTD. (referred to as “Power China”) and South Africa’s African Solar Energy Company officially signed the EPC contract of the Dea Center photovoltaic power station in South Africa.

It is reported that the project is located in Dea town, Northern Cape Province, South Africa, with a total installed capacity of 342MW, which is the largest single photovoltaic power plant project(include Solar Panel Mount) in South Africa. After the completion of the project, it will provide stable and reliable clean electricity for large data centers and other businesses in South Africa, and effectively promote the green transformation of South Africa’s energy structure.

This signing not only further consolidated PowerChina’s leading position in South Africa’s new energy project contracting market, but also an important achievement of PowerChina’s in-depth implementation of the “Belt and Road” Initiative and the spirit of the FOCAC Beijing Summit.

Powerchina said that it will continue to give play to its professional advantages in new energy construction and work with all walks of life in South Africa to jointly promote green development and sustainable development in South Africa and even the African region. The successful signing of the Dea Center photovoltaic power station project has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the further expansion of Power Construction in South Africa and even Africa.

*Knowledge card*

Photovoltaic power plant usually include the flowing main part: Modules, Inveter, pv mounting  system(like ground solar mount),Solar Panel Mounting Accessories, Mounting Fastener System,Combiner Box,Cabinet,Cable, Monitering systems, Trasformer. Those type of PV plant also is called Centralized Photovoltaic Power Generation which refers to the construction of large-scale photovoltaic power stations in open areas where solar energy resources are abundant. The electric energy generated by photovoltaic power generation system is directly transmitted to ‌ public grid through ‌ high-voltage transmission lines, and the grid uniformly allocates power to users.Centralized photovoltaic power plants are usually installed in remote desert, Gobi or desert areas, which are sparsely populated and have low land costs. The scale of centralized photovoltaic power plants is huge, and the installed capacity can reach hundreds of megawatts or even gigawatts.
