Hubei's first grid-connected photovoltaic power plant, currently under construction in Optics Valley in Wuhan, Hubei Province, has recently been approved by experts and is expected to be operational next May.
Different from common energy-efficient buildings, the four buildings located in the Wuhan Rixin Technology Company's Photovoltaic Industrial Park all have their screen walls, ceilings, doors and windows built with photovoltaic structuring.
They will be able to produce 1.8 million kilowatt-hours of electricity upon completion. The project, with an installed capacity of 1.2 megawatts, involves a total investment of 66.05 million yuan. The annual electricity-generating capacity will reach 1.6-1.8 million kilowatt-hours.
The grid-connected photovoltaic power plant, currently China's largest grid-connected BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) power project, has been classified as a project financed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Finance.
The grid-connected BIPV electricity-generating technology can be applied in public buildings such as industrial factories, urban residences and new buildings in rural areas. An official from the energy section of the Hubei Development and Reform Commission disclosed that Hubei will spearhead the testing of grid-connected photovoltaic electricity generation after the project is completed.
