Sungrow has forged the contract to supply equipment to juwi for the 36 MW off-grid solar farm and a 7.5 MW battery energy storage system at Sukari gold mine operated by Centamin in Egypt.
The project is located near the Red Sea, facing the challenge of scorching heat and high corrosion. Sungrow offers the 1,500V 6.25 MW PV inverter solution and the highly integrated energy storage system with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.
The scheme is scheduled to be commissioned in the first half of 2022. It will cut the mine’s diesel consumption by approximately 22 million liters per year and thus offset 60,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
