Thornova Solar has successfully supplied photovoltaic modules for a pioneering 10 MW PV plant in Suzhou City, China, which features innovative polyurethane composite structures. This marks the first installation globally to utilize such composite materials, aiming to enhance durability, reduce weight, and improve installation efficiency. The project, developed by Suzhou Freeneep Technology, showcases these advanced materials’ potential for better corrosion resistance and lower maintenance needs, promising stable long-term operational performance in challenging environmental conditions.
The PV system integrates polyurethane composite frames and mounting structures, offering advantages over traditional metal designs. These materials are believed to ensure improved durability and longevity, which is crucial for maintaining the plant’s efficiency. With their high mechanical strength and good insulation properties, the composite structures contribute significantly to system safety and operational effectiveness. Thornova emphasizes that these characteristics are particularly beneficial in demanding conditions, supporting the claim that this installation could set a new standard for similar projects in the future.
