Sungrow, a leading inverter solution supplier for renewables, recently closed a 213 MW contract with Ibitu Energia, a Brazilian company that generates and sells 100% renewable energy. The contract aims to supply its 1500Vdc central inverter solutions for the construction of the solar complex, Caldeirao Grande 2 Solar in Piaui state, facilitating the local economy’s decarbonization and boosting the development of the entire country.
Ibitu Energia will invest an estimated R$ 800 million for the construction of this project. The project will turn the state into a national power hub in renewable energy generation and social development. In addition to supplying clean energy, the complex will contribute to infrastructure improvements, tax collection in the state of Piaui, and create 900 jobs by the end of its construction – scheduled for 2023. Occupying an area of 430 hectares in Serra da Batinga, the project will have an installed capacity equivalent to the consumption of more than 280,000 Brazilian homes.
Sungrow’s 6.25 MW turnkey central inverter solution for 1500Vdc systems, featuring an unmatched efficiency of 99% is ideal for utility-scale applications. The solution highly integrates a medium voltage transformer, switchgear, and all automation into a 40-ft container; thus significantly streamlining transportation and O&M. Compatible with bifacial modules and tracking systems, the solution allows considerable yields.
As Sungrow has supplied approximately 3 GW in Brazil since 2017, Sungrow maintains its focus on the local market with a portfolio of more than 20 products and a strong local team offering comprehensive sales, technical support, and after-sale service.
