The first, a 2.1MW installation consisting of about 14,580 UNI-SOLAR laminates, is located at the Gwang Yang Port Distribution Complex.

About 2.6 million kWh of electricity is expected to be generated by the laminates, that will reduce 1,678 tons of carbon dioxide annually.

The second, a 1.35MW project located at the Dang Jin Waste Management Facility, consists of 9,375 UNI-SOLAR laminates installed over 365,111sq ft.

Annual electricity generation expected is about 1.4 million kWh.

Korea East West Power Company, in cooperation with United Solar’s distribution partner KC Energia Co, developed both the solar PV projects.

United Solar Sales vice president Salama Naguib said UNI-SOLAR PV laminates are the most lightweight solar PV product available in the Korean market, and approved by Korea Energy Management Corporation KEMCO.
