CEME1 480MW Single Largest Ground PV Project in Chile

December 9, 2022

Owner: EDF Renovables EPC: PowerChina Huadong Engineering Corporation Limited

Solution Highlights: Single-column racking system plated with magnesium-aluminum-zinc, which can minimize the number of pile foundations and improve installation efficiency to the largest extent and help customers reduce installation costs (efficiency increased by at least 15% compared with the general design)

Project Highlights: Situated in deserts and gobi, the environmental conditions are rather tense and harsh. With high altitude and multiple days of strong wind and sand throughout the year, the air is extremely dry. As the “backbone system” protecting the entire PV power plant, PV modules are essential in dealing with the complicated and volatile natural environment. How to make that happen is the first test we have to undertake.
