The solar equipment manufacturer completed a project rescue on a PV module line in South Africa that previously faced integration challenges. The newly-operational 200 MW line produces modules primarily for the local market.
Italian PV equipment manufacturer Ecoprogetti has upgraded an existing PV module manufacturing line in South Africa.
The company explained its upgrade follows an initial installation carried out by a different supplier which had left the production line with integration challenges and unable to reach expected output levels.
A spokesperson for Ecoprogetti told pv magazine the upgraded manufacturing facility has an increased nominal annual production capacity reaching approximately 200 MW.
“The line is designed to manufacture different module formats depending on the intended application,” the spokesperson said. “This includes high-power PV modules of up to 650 W, mainly for larger-scale installations and solar parks, as well as modules of around 500 W for off-grid and stand-alone applications.”
