Core Viewpoint - The installation of photovoltaic (PV) systems in wastewater treatment plants is becoming an inevitable trend, with safety concerns being the primary anxiety for plant owners [2][3]. Group 1: Industry Trends - The National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have issued guidelines promoting the "photovoltaic+" model in areas with abundant sunlight, encouraging the use of idle spaces in wastewater treatment facilities for renewable energy generation [2]. - In 2024, at least one-third of the 45 selected "green low-carbon benchmark plants" had already installed PV systems, indicating a significant shift towards renewable energy in the industry [2]. - Over 60 wastewater treatment plants in China are expected to install PV systems in 2024, with a total capacity of approximately 1 GW, generating over 1.5 billion kWh of clean electricity annually [2]. Group 2: Product Features - Longi's Hi-MO X10 water-specific components have been introduced, featuring "tear resistance, fire prevention, and shading prevention" capabilities, making them ideal for installation in wastewater treatment plants [4][6][7][8]. - The Hi-MO X10 components have been tested to withstand typhoons, with a design that can resist wind loads and vibrations, ensuring stability and safety in harsh weather conditions [6]. - The components significantly reduce the risk of fire by lowering the temperature of shaded areas, with tests showing a temperature of over 80°C under leaf cover compared to over 180°C for conventional components [7]. Group 3: Successful Applications - The Hi-MO X10 components have been successfully implemented in several key wastewater treatment projects across Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Shaanxi, with one project in Shanghai achieving a total capacity of 34.16 MW [9]. - A distributed PV station in Jiaxing, with a capacity of 17 MW, has been integrated into the wastewater treatment plant, significantly reducing operational costs and enhancing land utilization [10]. - The Jiaxing project is expected to generate 18.76 million kWh annually, meeting 28% of the plant's electricity needs and saving over 5,600 tons of standard coal, thereby reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 15,000 tons [11].
