The company from the USA will build the largest solar power station in the world in the Chilean desert

The California company SUNEDISON, the world leader in the development and supply of equipment for the use of solar energy, announced on Thursday the signing of the contract with the Chilean metallurgical and mining group CAP SA to build the world's largest photoelectric station. The design capacity of the new power station is estimated at the level of 100 MW. As experts note, starting devices of a new generation will be applied for the first time. Construction will begin in the Chilean desert of the attack this spring. It is assumed that the power plant will provide 15% of the entire needs of the CAP SA group in electricity.

Sundison's reputation and long -term obligations of the parties under the contract are key factors in the choice of this company as a partner," said Cap Jaymi President Jaymi Charles.

The power plant will be built using the latest Sundison developments. More than three hundred thousand photocells Silvantis tm consisting of non -toxic, environmentally friendly materials that can be processed after the expiration of the service life will be installed on the structural electricity. The main component of photocells will be a monocrystalline silicon.

The maintenance of the power plant, after its construction, will be carried out by the Sunedison Operational Center for the Renovated Energy.
