SULZEMOOS (dpa-AFX) - Phoenix Solar Pte Ltd, the Singapore-based subsidiary of Phoenix Solar AG, has been awarded the construction of 1.96 MWp of rooftop PV systems at the Tuas and Gali Batu train depots in Singapore.
In August 2014, the Land Transport Authority or LTA, responsible for planning and development of Singapore's land transport infrastructure, called for a competitive tender to design, supply and install 1.96MWp of grid-tie PV capacity on two new train depots - Tuas and Gali Batu.
The project was awarded to Phoenix Solar after evaluating tenderers according to their quality proposals as well as pricing.
Upon completion, the PV system, consisting of 7'536 REC solar modules and 4 central inverters from SMA, are expected to generate over 2.2 million kWh of solar electricity annually. This is enough to offset over 1'100 metric tonnes per year of CO2 from gas fired power plants.
As part of the contract, Phoenix Solar will also perform operations and maintenance and monitor the performance of the PV system for an initial period of one year.
