It has existing offices in Frankfurt Germany, Los Angeles California and in mainland China.
The company wants to assist the CNMI with its alternative “green” energy needs through the company’s extensive experience in the manufacturing, installations as well as operations of solar power.
Sunlan Solar will 100 percent finance, built and operate solar photovoltaic power plants throughout the CNMI to include the islands of Tinian and Rota.
With the developments of solar power plants, the CNMI will experience lower power rates for the benefit of all consumers to include households, schools, institutions, as well as most private businesses in the islands.
Sunlan Solar has recently signed a memorandum of agreement with the CNMI government to begin a pilot solar power plant project, starting with 1MW power plant for the purpose of conducting a feasibility study, with the intent to expand up to 20MW, once the certification and confirmation of the feasibility study has been completed.
The company intends, during phase-one, to distribute the 20MW project into 5MW power plant each at four different major locations throughout Saipan, to provide affordable power to the community and businesses alike.
All solar power plants, based on the MOA, will be built on leased public lands, and with the MOA signed, the company will immediately begin investing in the CNMI with the target of creating the first 5MW power plant by the end of this year.
Sunlan Solar overall goals and objective, is to create an immediate savings to the end users in as much as 50 percent or close to it.
Other than providing affordable power rates in the islands, the company project will also create job opportunities to include future donations of various lighting solar products, and other benefits to the community.
Currently, the company has an ongoing solar power plant project with U.S. company South California Edison Power Company in California and a PV solar project with the Frankfurt municipal government in Germany.
The fact is, with the never ending rising cost of fuel globally, the CNMI energy needs will eventually have to be stabilized using the various alternative energy or power source currently available in the global market, such as the solar power, wind turbine, waste to energy, and geothermal system,…etc.
The CNMI welcomes this great news with Sunlan Solar Company, its owner and President, Zhang, and its endeavor to provide the people of the commonwealth with a much more affordable and cleaner alternative power through green solar energy.
Since Saipan is much closer to his main home town in China, the president of the company is planning to make the island a second home for his family, aside from his home in California, where his family usually vacations.
