From 26th to 27th October, Sungrow, the global leading inverter and energy storage solution supplier for renewables, has signed contracts for the supply of PV inverters totalling 3GW and over 600MWh Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with several renowned renewable energy companies in Australia. Through these contracts, Sungrow will supply its industry-leading residential and commercial inverters to local customers, and more importantly through these contracts, will help deliver several significant BESS plants in Australia, advancing its transformation to a zero-carbon electricity grid.
3GW PV Inverter Order of New Residential and C&I Series
At All Energy Australia 2022, Sungrow showcased its new generation residential and commercial PV and BESS solutions, which offer a higher yield and boast enhanced safety protection. Simplified operation and intelligent post-O&M also bring residential customers a convenient and smooth using experience. This series has proved to be a popular choice in Australia, confirmed through distribution contracts totalling 3GW. This includes a 2GW long-term distribution agreement with OSW, and a 1GW/Year distribution agreement with AC Solar. Sungrow will keep working in partnership with its Australian residential and commercial and industrial (C&I) distributors and looks to build on this success and increase its share of the Australian renewable energy market in the coming years.
600MWh Contract Signing for C&I and Utility-Scale BESS Projects
Australia is experiencing an increased demand for C&I and utility-scale BESS. At the expo, Sungrow presented PowerTitan and PowerStack, the Liquid-Cooled Energy Storage System for the utility-scale and C&I market as well as the flagship air-cooled storage system ST129CP-50HV. The newest Liquid-Cooled ESS series safeguards the BESS plant’s safety with advanced liquid-cooled technologies and AI monitoring of the battery cell. Cluster-level energy management can refine the energy charging and discharge, hence, bringing higher yield. These flagship products also secured big orders this year.
Significantly, Sungrow signed over 600MWh worth BESS contracts with distinguished renewable energy companies. The largest of the contracts includes the 360MW/292MWh Solar River Project, which is South Australia’s largest DC-Coupled solar plus storage project. This utility-scale battery will provide significant services to the Australian energy grid, increasing total grid stability and helping to enable more renewable energy generation. Besides, Sungrow will also cooperate with Mondo to develop C&I BESS plants in the coming 2023 years. The first batch will be 50 projects which have the equivalent volume of 10 MWh.
“It is really impressive that we accomplished so many significant agreements with important partners in Australia, which fully demonstrate the local market’s strong confidence in us. Sungrow Australia has once again proved its capability and strengthened its industry-dominating position in the market. We offer a comprehensive product portfolio from residential, and C&I, to utility-scale solutions and own an excellent local team that is ready to reach and serve our customers here. These incomparable advantages will create more achievements for both Sungrow and the industry, and help realize Australia’s energy transition in the future”, said Shawn Shi, General Manager of Sungrow APAC Region.
