The project involves installing 19,000 monocrystalline PV panels over a total area of 100,000 square meters. It employs a 10 kilovolt high-voltage grid connection mode, with all the generated green electricity consumed on-site in the plant, contributing to the production of high-quality silicon steel.
The project is expected to generate an average of 11.5 million kilowatt-hours annually, saving about 2.2 million yuan in electricity costs. It will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10,63 metric tons and save 3,508 tons of standard coal, achieving a win-win for both economic and environmental benefits.
