Sungrow has successfully delivered its cutting-edge 1+X modular inverters to Comerc Renew’s expansive 267MW solar PV plant in the Minas Gerais region of Brazil. The São João Paracatu project, situated in eastern Brazil, employs a versatile combination of central and string inverters, featuring a minimum capacity of 1.1MW per single unit, expandable to 8.8MW with the integration of eight units. This modular approach allows for flexible design adaptations to accommodate different block sizes.
Sungrow’s contribution to the project comprises 21 units of 8.8MW inverters, along with seven units of 6.6MW inverters and 1,050 combiner boxes equipped with 20 inputs each. Notably, each module incorporates independent maximum power point tracking (MPPT) capabilities, enhancing overall efficiency.
This collaboration marks another significant stride for Sungrow in Brazil, reinforcing its foothold in one of the world’s largest solar markets. As of September this year, Sungrow had already shipped over 10GW of cumulated inverters to Brazil. The company’s commitment to the region is underscored by its participation in key projects, including the Helio Valgas 662 MWp and Varzea da Palma 118 MWp initiatives with Comerc Renew.
Rafael Ribeiro, President of Sungrow Brazil, expressed enthusiasm about the continued partnership, stating, “As an industry leader in the solar market, Sungrow welcomes the opportunity to work with Comerc Renew on another essential project for Brazil. We look forward to collaborating further with Comerc Renew.”
Globally recognized as a leading inverter supplier, Sungrow achieved a remarkable 56% growth in shipments in 2022 compared to the previous year. Alongside Huawei, Sungrow collectively accounted for more than half of the market share last year.
