Solar power systems – Shell, Thailand<\/p><\/div>\n

CIS solar panel manufacturer Solar Frontier has announced the completion of a PV system installation project atop two buildings at Shell’s headquarters in Thailand.<\/p>\n

119.68 kW of CIS thin-film modules have been installed, which are expected to generate 179,479 kWh of clean electricity a year – all of which will be used by the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative follows from a similar programme last year where we had solar panels installed on the roofs of two of our Shell retail stations in Thailand,” said<\/a> Shell Companies’ Mr. Asada Harinsuit.<\/p>\n

“We see our efforts here as helping to contribute to Thailand\u2019s renewable energy goals as well as to reducing Shell\u2019s CO2 levels across our organisation.”<\/p>\n

Thailand has a target of 25% renewable energy generation by 2021; so while this isn’t huge contribution by any real measure, it’s always good to see purveyors of fossil fuels getting their solar on and raising awareness of PV.<\/p>\n

The two companies also have more than just a passing acquaintance.<\/p>\n

Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Solar Frontier is owned by Showa Shell Sekiyu Kabushiki Kaisha, the base of Royal Dutch Shell group in Japan.<\/p>\n

Solar Frontier panels<\/a> are based on CIS technology; utilising copper, indium and selenium. The company also throws in gallium in the semiconductor layer for good measure – so, CIGS<\/a>. This combination, it states, provides better results in hot temperatures, an enhanced “light soaking” effect and improved shadow tolerance and performance in low-light conditions.<\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/p>\n

The company says the thin film modules<\/a> require less energy and materials to produce than conventional crystalline silicon panels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Solar Frontier has several production facilities in Japan – Miyazaki (60 MW), Kunitomi (900 MW) and Tohoku (150 MW). The Kunitomi plant cranks out 15,000 solar modules a day.<\/p>\n

In other relatively recent news from the company, U.S. subsidiary Solar Frontier Americas sold its 40 MW Midway II solar power plant<\/a> to a subsidiary of Dominion Energy Inc. in April.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Solar Frontier announced in March it had entered into a 150 MW module supply agreement with Cypress Creek Renewables (CCR).<\/p>\n

In February, the company said<\/a> it had achieved 19.2% efficiency on a 30cm\u00d730cm CIS submodule and a world efficiency record of 19.8% on a 7cm\u00d75cm-sized CIS thin-film mini-module.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
