Applied Materials, Inc. and China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (CECEP), a leading new energy company in China, announced they have agreed to explore projects for solar photovoltaic (PV) technology.

CECEP plans to build a 5 MW utility-scale PV power plant in Inner Mongolia using silicon-based thin film solar modules. ENN Solar Energy Co., Ltd. will supply modules for this project and use 5.7 m2 tandem junction, thin film, solar modules supplied by Applied Materials.

Dr. Mark Pinto, executive vice president and corporate technology officer at Applied Materials says, “We believe our film is a solution for utility-scale solar farms, offering easier installation, lower balance of system costs, and superior field performance. Working with our partners and customers, we will continue to help drive down the installed cost per watt of solar PV electricity to make it more affordable and accessible for everyone.”

CECEP has specialized in energy conservation and environmental protection since its establishment in 1988. The company has a long term commitment to urban energy conservation and the construction of an environmental protection infrastructure, industrial energy-conservation and emission reduction, clean technology and new energy.
