On November 21, the flexible support part of the Yingjiang Agricultural Photovoltaic Power Generation Project of China Energy Group Yunnan Company entered the component installation stage.

The project is one of the key new energy development projects in Yunnan Province in 2022. It is located in Yingjiang County, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province, with a total installed capacity of 150 MW and an area of 3427 mu. A mixed arrangement of fixed brackets and flexible brackets is adopted, among which the square array of flexible brackets exceeds 100 MW, which is the largest single-scale project among solar panel projects constructed with flexible brackets in Southwest China.

The flexible support is to install solar panels on rows of steel cables, and the two ends of the steel cables are supported by rigid structures. Compared with the traditional fixed support, the flexible support can span complex terrain such as gullies, steep slopes, streams, etc., and can effectively improve the land utilization rate. It has the advantages of large span, high headroom, and good crack resistance. It meets the needs of agriculture and light complementarity. The successful practice of the project provides experience accumulation and technical reference for the later complex terrain photovoltaic projects to adopt flexible support construction.
