JinkoSolar

JinkoSolar announced that it has completed delivery on 140 MWdc of PV modules for the North Star project located in Chisago County, Minnesota, approximately 50 miles north of Minneapolis.

The North Star Solar project will utilize over 440,000 of JinkoSolar’s high-efficiency 72-cell polycrystalline modules and is expected to generate enough clean energy to power over 20,000 homes annually.

Once completed, it will become the largest single solar facility in the Midwest, spanning 1000 acres of agricultural land, JinkoSolar said.

Swinerton Renewable Energy (SRE) served as the project’s EPC contractor, providing employment to over 300 local workers during peak construction. An affiliate of D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments, (DESRI) acquired the project, which is expected to connect to the grid in December 2016.
