China Singyes Solar uses new power for Dong’ao island
China Singyes Solar Technologies Holdings Ltd. completed construction and switched on a smart grid project that combines wind and solar power generation with diesel fuel power production and energy storage on the Dong’ao island in Zhuhai, southern China. The project will boost the share of green energy in the island’s energy mix to 70% from 30%. At the beginning of December, Singyes Solar received a US$13 million contract to deliver 1,300 solar-powered houses in Nigeria, to which it now plans to apply the combined technology.
