OSolar tracker in the world's highest area powering Tibet

A Solar tracking system engineered by OSolar has been grid-connected in the world's highest area to date.

Seoul, January 25, 2011 - A Solar tracking system engineered by OSolar has been grid-connected in the world's highest area to date.


OSolar Ltd., an international Solar Stakeholder and System Integrator, announced the completion of the company's utility-scale, single-axis tracking system in Lhasa, Tibet, commissioned by Longyuan (Beijing) Solar Engineering Technology Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of China Guodian Group.

The project is a 10MW PV power plant and OSolar provided 394kW of its world-class single-axis tracking system. According to the company, the single-axis tracking system at this site will deliver an estimated 20% more annual energy per kW than a fixed tilt PV system.

"This plant is located at an altitude of 4,300 meters which makes it the world's highest PV power plant and we are delighted to be a part of this initiative," said Jihun Kim, co-CEO of OSolar. "This is another historical record achieved by OSolar followed by our turnkey delivery of Asia's largest PV power plant (24MW with a tracker) and the world's largest PV parking-lot (2MW) projects."

Wang Yao, General Manager of Longyuan Solar commented, "Although Tibet is one of the world's famous areas due to the influence of highest altitude, OSolar's tracking system is operating powerfully and is extremely stable under harsh operating conditions and circumstances." Yao added, "Longyuan is proud to work with a reliable and market-leading partner."
