Parity Solar installs BIPV system in Zhenjiang, China

Parity Solar has installed a built-in photovoltaics system at the New Area Court House complex in Zhenjiang, China. The crystalline and thin-film modules are being installed over the skylight on the complex’s roof and will have a power generation capacity of 200kW.

“China continues to be a promising, but challenging, market for PV but Parity Solar has invested to create a complete EPC and development team. We are making great progress and are preparing to emerge as a leading systems company in China as the market develops”, remarked Scott Burton, CEO of Parity Solar.

The rooftop array was connected to the grid in December 2010 – meeting the deadline for Jiangsu’s 2010 feed-in tariff of 3.0 RMB per kWh – and is fitted with Satcon Solstice inverter technology.
