Due to the recent rapid expansion of photovoltaic power generation, China's national development and reform commission has increased the planning for photovoltaic power generation, which could be expected to reach 40GW. Astronergy focuses on the business opportunities created by the need to upgrade and invest in western photovoltaic power station construction. Its total planning in 2012 is for 330MW on projects across multiple regions in China including Gansu, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and others.
Versolsolar won the bid in 2012 for Astronergy's western photovoltaic power station project, which was fully activated in July. Versolsolar beat out dozens of competing companies to win a 170MW of ground photovoltaic power station project mounting system supply contract.
In view of the complex geological and topographical features, such as karst, the Gobi landform and other issues, Versolsolar's technical service team carried out a series of exploration work on the surrounding environment, vegetation, wind conditions, water, a stratigraphic survey and more. Also, after taking account of the influence of the monsoon climate during the previous October to May and ground frost levels it was found that the wind and snow produced by it would block the progress of installation and construction. Therefore, Versolsolar's team optimized and integrated supply chain solutions to meet the demands of the client for quick delivery. The cooperation between Astonergy and Versolsolar marks the end of construction of the western power station project and the facility was turned on successfully.
