Sungrow supplies inverters for 475 MW solar project in Brazil

Sungrow, the global leading inverter solution supplier for renewables, will supply the SG3125HV central inverter solution for the implementation of the project Sol do Sertão Solar after an agreement with Essentia Energia. The projects will be implemented in Oliveira dos Brejinhos, a city in Bahia that is about 600 km from the capital and will have a total capacity of 475 MWp once completed.

There are eight solar PV plants that is generating more than 4,000 jobs (directly and indirectly) creations throughout its works. Sungrow will provide 122 units of SG3125HV inverters, which comprise a set of 61 blocks, in addition to the commissioning and training service of the team's O&M.

The project is in a region where the thermal feeling can exceed 40ºC, while Sungrow SG3125HV can work without derating even temperature reaches 50ºC. The inverter is equipped with a smart forced air-cooling system that in addition to increasing the life of the equipment, ensures that it does not lose productivity even in the most extreme conditions. The product is compatible with bifacial modules and tracking systems, enabling higher yields. It is prefabricated with inputs for DC-coupled storage solutions which could be added at a later stage.

The work on the Sol do Sertão Solar Complex is under construction and the complete commercial operation of the plant is scheduled for the second half of 2021.
