Q CELLS has supplied solar modules to two large rooftop projects in Thailand to help strengthen the Company's growing presence in this and other Southeast Asian solar markets. The project is a 114.66 kWp system completed in November using 294 Q CELLS Q.PEAK DUO L-G5 390 W modules. The project comprises a number of rooftop installations clustered in a rural part of Chiang Mai Province, a famous tourist area in the north of Thailand. The project has been funded by the Mae Fah Luang Foundation, which is a non-profit organization set up by Princess Srinagarindra, the late mother of former Thai King, Bhumibol Adulyadej. The Foundation's chief aim is to provide underprivileged people with a brighter future by offering much-needed access to better healthcare, educational opportunities and livelihood development. Despite its growing global reputation as a popular tourist location, Chiang Mai is beset by social, environmental and economic concerns. Its popularity has heaped strain on the local electricity network, and roads in the major conurbations of the province are regularly congested - a situation exacerbated by often poor air quality. The installation of a Q CELLS-powered solar system will help to mitigate some of these effects for local communities, helping to deliver clean and green solar electricity to the grid. The involvement of the Mae Fah Luang Foundation - which has financed and owns the system - is expected to be seen as an encouraging development for the region. Another project that Q CELLS has been involved in is located in Lopburi in the heart of Thailand, some 150 km from Bangkok. It is here where a 100.32 kWp solar system has been installed at the Thepsatri Rajabhat University using 304 Q.POWER L-G5 330 Wp solar modules from Q CELLS. The University is one of Thailand's most respected higher education establishments, and has benefited greatly from the income generated from the solar system since its connection to the grid earlier this year.
