Trina Solar, a global provider of photovoltaic modules, solutions and services, signed an EPC contract with Fresh Fruits Co., a food storage and logistics company in Amman, Jordan, for a 2 MW rooftop solar power plant on the company’s stores and warehouses.
Under the contract, Trina Solar is responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the project. The project will use Trina Solar TSM-PC05A Honey 260 Wp, high efficiency modules that adapt well to dry and high temperature conditions prevalent in the Middle East.
This will be the first mega-scale rooftop solar power project in Jordan. The construction is scheduled to start in March this year and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2014. The 2 MW rooftop solar power project is estimated to produce 3,200 MWh every year. The use of this solar power project will prevent emissions of approximately 38,400 tons of CO2.
Following this EPC contract and a previous supply contract for 1 MW of Trina Honey photovoltaic modules (also in Jordan), the company will continue to actively pursue new opportunities in this emerging market.
“The rooftop solar power project will be of great benefit to our business,” said. Omar Hashlmon, general manager of Fresh Fruits Co. “Our business of operating cold stores is an energy intensive operation. This project will significantly contribute to a reduction in our annual electricity expenditure. It will also be a sound investment for our company because of the expected quick recovery of the initial investment thanks to favorable renewable energy policies enacted by the local government.”
