According to the British "Guardian" reported that, Africa's largest solar power plant will be located in Ghana. The the Project Fang Yingguo renewable energy company Blue Energy12 March 4, 155 MW total installed capacity of power plants in the planning.

Ghana is the world's leading cocoa exporter, in recent years, the rapid development of the oil industry. Renewable energy is expected to become a new economic growth point in this small African country. Allegedly, the largest solar panels power station to be built in Africa not only create hundreds of jobs for the local, can also help Ghana to 6% increase in power generation capacity and reduce carbon emissions.

Blue Energy said, this giant 155 MW PV power plant is located in the western region of Ghana, will start by the end of 2013, is expected to install 630,000 photovoltaic modules, will be able to put into operation in October 2015.

It is understood that, Nzema size of the photovoltaic power plant in the world ranked fourth, will Ghana the first application for feed-in tariff major new energy projects. The Government of Ghana in 2011 to the introduction of the feed-in tariff mechanism. Ghana plans to the utilization of renewable energy by 2020 from the current 1% to 10%.

Blue Energy CEO Chris? Chretien said: "Ghana determined to promote renewable energy development in sub-Saharan Africa is very prominent the Nzema power plant is the best example of the government to release the potential of solar module energy in Africa this power plant will not only contribute to Ghana's economic growth and electricity supply also for the local train relevant personnel. "

Nzema project manager Douglas? Kellerman said Ghana photovoltaic technology, while not common in North Africa and the Middle East, a trough power generation technology, Anyway sun of photovoltaic power generation can meet the requirements of trough direct sunlight. Kohler further pointed out, which means that even if cloudy frequency than Ghana even higher hundredfold, Nzema power station will still be able uninterrupted power generation.

The analysis pointed out that the of Ghana the Nzema photovoltaic power station will inject a shot in the arm to the development of solar panel price energy in Africa. The EU had previously ambitious in North Africa to promote the Desertec large-scale solar power projects, with the EU economic crisis continue to simmer, and electrical giant Siemens and Bosch launched the project was facing a huge funding gap, or the mortality.

It is reported that Ghana is the fastest growing economies in sub-Saharan Africa, last year, its gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of 14.3% due to increased oil production. In March of this year, Tullow, UK, 2011, Ghana's new found a huge offshore oil reserves.

Chinese manufacturer Yingli Green solar farm in Queen Creek, Arizona 90000 components, contract was established in November. 72 uwi responsible for the construction of the 25 MW direct current (DC) power plant, its owners for the PSEG solar energy company, which is a subsidiary of the U.S. Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG), purchase Yingli battery components for uniaxial solar tracking system.

The power plant also purchased 48 400kW solar inverter, each custom component 6 67kW extracted. Said that this project is in the local dry and arid conditions, so far, only use the components of Yingli Yingli.
