Solar photovoltaic power plant of Dongmaozhou completed

With the solar photovoltaic power station officially put into use on the island prior to the Army Day which falls on August 1, the officers and men of the Dongmaozhou coastal defense company under the Hainan Provincial Military Command (PMC) of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have gained access to clean and environmental-friendly electricity, thus ending the history of receiving power supply within prescribed time for over 50 years.

The station of the Dongmaozhou coastal defense company enjoys sufficient sunshine and the installed capacity of the power station is 50 kilowatts, which can meet the needs of training and living power consumption of the officers and men on the island.

A conversion device is also specially equipped to the set of equipment in case of inadequate power supply of storage batteries in overcast and rainy days. The device links the solar photovoltaic power station with the existing diesel generators of the company and makes it possible to switch between them for 24-hour power supply.
