Zhejiang Jinlei powers up 7.48MW BIPV plant to set green benchmark in refractories industry

2026-01-07

Jan. 7, 2026 - Zhejiang Jinlei Refractories Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Jinlei), a leading Chinese producer of magnesia-calcium refractories, has officially connected its 7.48MW distributed solar power plant to the grid. Developed in partnership with Longi Center Int, the project marks a significant transition toward "Green Electricity + Intelligent Manufacturing" for the traditional refractories sector.

Key Project Highlights:

Infrastructure: The project utilizes approximately 53,000 square meters of factory roof space, featuring the BIPV system specifically engineered for industrial durability, including superior wind and corrosion resistance.

Energy Output: The plant is expected to generate approximately 7 million kWh annually under a "self-consumption with excess to grid" model.

Environmental Impact: Annual carbon emissions will be reduced by 5,768 tons, equivalent to saving 2,105 tons of standard coal per year.

Smart Operations: The facility integrates an AI-driven monitoring system to ensure real-time optimization of power efficiency and structural safety over its 25-year lifespan.

As a pioneer in the magnesia-calcium refractory supply chain, Zhejiang Jinlei’s successful grid connection establishes a new path for energy-intensive industries to achieve "decarbonization and efficiency" goals, aligning with China’s national "Dual Carbon" strategy.
