Sungrow to supply inverters for 852 MW solar plant in Brazil

After an agreement and the recent emission of NTP (“Notice To Proceed” or “Service Order”) with Focus Energia, an integrated energy business platform, Sungrow will supply inverters and MV stations for the implementation of the first phase of the Futura Project, an 852 MWp solar park in Latin America.

Considering the environmental authorizations already issued, approximately two thousand hectares will be destined for the implementation of the first phase of the Project.

In addition to the commissioning and start-up service, Sungrow plans to supply more than 100 MVS6300-LV transformation stations and more than 3,000 SG250HX inverters. The Futura I Project will be the largest photovoltaic plant under construction with bifacial modules, trackers, and string inverters in Latin America.

During the process of technical analysis of Sungrow's solution with Focus, it was clear to Sungrow that some factors were decisive to the contract, such as its high performing inverters, the flexibility of reactive energy production in both day and night, the reduction of the capacitor banks needed to meet the requirements of the study of connection to the concessionaire network, and the fact that the SG250HX which is compatible with bifacial modules of 600 Wp. Another fundamental differential was the high performance and low losses in the transformation of energy in MV station.

The installation work is scheduled to start in April of this year and the plant's commercial operation is scheduled to start in the first half of 2022.
