Artus Solar Power Group released a news release on March 14, 2018 that the company’s 6 MW photovoltaic power generation project in Keetmanshoop, Namibia, Namibia, was successfully completed and put into commercial operation. This is a Tes first photovoltaic power station held in Africa.
A total of 18,480 Altec MaxPower series CS6U high-efficiency polycrystalline modules have been installed and used in this project. This module has a power of up to 350 watts and an efficiency of up to 18%. It is the national 'leader' base in 2018 out of technical products. Each year, local residents in Africa are provided 14.6 million kWh of clean, safe solar power. Namibia Power Corporation Ltd. has signed a 25-year renewable energy feed-in tariff (REFIT) contract at Electricity 1.37 Namibia Dollars (approximately RMB 0.64) Purchase clean power from the power station.
Dr. Xiaoxiao Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Arte Solar Power Group stated: 'Africa is an important part of the global market development strategy of Artes. We are pleased that our first photovoltaic power plant in Africa has been officially put into operation. It is sunny, and it is one of the regions that are most conducive to the development of solar energy in the world. Artes is pleased to participate in the construction of renewable energy systems in the African continent. In the future, Artes will continue to develop more high-quality photovoltaic power generation projects in Africa. , While providing Africa with cleaner, safer, and cheaper green electricity, African people will be able to connect more extensively with the outside world, promote local economic development, help them create more jobs, and increase Africa’s overall economic strength! '
Artes contributes more to the development of clean energy in Africa! At the beginning of 2017, Artes was selected to supply 1,960 pieces of Als efficient solar modules to Robben Island Solar Park in Robben Island, Africa. Lithium battery energy storage systems not only greatly reduce the cost of locally purchasing and transporting diesel, but also significantly reduce the local carbon dioxide emissions (about 820 tons/year) due to the use of diesel fuel each year.
