Apple to build first solar project in SW China
In the first of its kind project outside the US, Apple will help China to build a 40-megawatt solar power project as part of the company's environmental and climate commitments.
Solar panel maker SunPower Corp would partner with Apple Inc to build solar power projects in China's southwestern plateau.

"The project, which will be able to power 61,000 homes a year, will add 80 million kilowatt hours of clean energy to the grid annually," said Lisa Jackson, vice president for environmental initiatives at Apple.
The world's most populous nation is now the biggest market for Apple's iPhone surpassing the US for the total number of smart devices in operation.
"We are excited about the amount because it will generate far more energy than is being used by all of our offices and retail stores in China," Jackson told state-run Xinhua news agency.
Currently, Apple has 19 corporate offices in China, including 17 in the mainland and two in Hong Kong, as well as 21 retail stores in the country.

The project will contain two arrays of solar panels, which will be installed 85 miles apart in Hongyuan County and Zoige County of Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, Jackson said.
"We will put the clean energy onto the local grid in Sichuan and buy the power wherever the stores and offices are," she said.
In the United States, solar farms are often built near Apple's facilities. The project, the first of its kind Apple has launched outside the United States, will add China to the list of countries that power Apple's facilities entirely with renewable energy.

Those already on the list include the United States, Germany, the UK, Australia, Spain and Italy. To develop the new project, Apple has worked closely with both its old and new partners, including SunPower, a US-based company that Apple has cooperated with regularly, and four Chinese companies, Jackson said.
According to Jackson, two of the four Chinese companies are based in Tianjin, a port city in north China. Another two are based in Sichuan Province.
