GE Power has been chosen by EPC Construtora Quebec, a Brazilian engineering company, to provide its 4.4 MW and 2.2-MW LV5 1,500-volt inverters and skids for the 14 MW Verde Vale III solar project, located in Guanambi, Brazil. This project is owned by Vientos Solutions, an owner and operator of energy infrastructure assets in emerging markets.
Compared to its 1,000-volt peers, GE’s LV5 1,500-volt inverter technology has a higher voltage, enabling a simpler and more efficient solar farm infrastructure layout given the same target of energy output. This technology can also deliver reduced system cost as well as operating expenses. More importantly, it has obtained accreditation of the Brazil’s Bank of Economic and Social Development, meaning that it meets the local content requirement.
GE will manage the assembling, commissioning and maintenance needed to guarantee the optimal performance and durability of the full electrical balance of plant, including inverters’ stations, high-voltage transformers and substations and connection bay, for EPC Construtora Quebec.
