One Thailand solar developer has ordered 67,000 American-made PV modules for two solar projects.  Phoenix Solar Singapore has been building just north of Bangkok since June. The two sites will achieve peak output of 9.7 and 6.2 MW. From December 2011 on, they are expected to supply an annual yield of around 25,000 MWh of environmentally friendly solar electricity to as many as 10,000 Thai households.

The two installations are expected to go into operation by the end of the year. SCHOTT Solar will be supplying polycrystalline modules from the SCHOTT PERFORM POLY 2xx series to Thailand between June and September for use in this project. These products are known for their high resistance to weathering and easy installation.

“We have signed contracts to supply modules with a capacity in excess of 50 MW peak for large international projects over the last few months,” said Dr. Martin Heming, CEO of SCHOTT Solar AG. “Our local presence in the international markets and previous experience in managing large projects were both crucial factors in convincing our partner to choose us.” Dr. Heming expects solar power plants to play an important role in the future, particularly in the new Asian markets and the United States.
