YORK, England, March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the
global leading inverter solution supplier for renewables, announced
that it is supplying PV inverters and energy storage systems for
the United Kingdom's largest
unsubsidized solar-plus-storage project, comprising of a 34.7 MW PV
park including a 27 MW/30MWh energy storage system.
This hybrid project has been developed and is being built by
GRIDSERVE on 198 acres of low-grade agricultural land in
Yorkshire, and is expected to be
operational in October 2019. After
completion, Warrington Borough Council will purchase the plant,
demonstrating that solar and storage combined can deliver
unsubsidized green and clean electricity to communities.
The Sungrow equipment supplied includes 1500 Volt turnkey
inverter stations, SG3125HV-MV. Along with the PV project, a
27MW/30MWh storage system is based on the Sungrow standard '2.5
MW-1 Hour ESS system', designed for utility-scale applications.
With its compact design and resilient performance, the storage
segment will maximize yield from the solar PV system through peak
shifting. Furthermore, the flexibility of the storage system
enables the provision of a range of grid services such as frequency
response, grid balancing and reserve capacity which enhances the
overall solar-plus-storage project benefits.
"We are very proud to partner up with GRIDSERVE on these two
milestone projects supplying our world-class solar PV and energy
storage solutions. We will keep pursuing technical
innovations to provide higher yields and offer state-of-the-art
product portfolios together with establishing ourselves as the best
service platform in the sector", said Lewis
Li, General Manager of Sungrow UK.
"We value Sungrow's proven 22-year track record in the PV
industry. The company has already demonstrated its commitment to
the UK market by continuing to grow its presence here. Furthermore,
the flexibility and professionalism Sungrow have shown is paramount
to support our business in this venture. We look forward to
collaborating on more projects in the future", said Mr. Toddington
Harper, CEO of GRIDSERVE.
Meanwhile, another 25.7 MW project again by GRIDSERVE, applied
with Sungrow solutions, is to be built in Hull soon after, which
will offer excellent value for consumers whilst providing clean
renewable energy for years to come.
Since opening its Milton Keynes
branch in 2014, Sungrow has realized significant traction in the
United Kingdom with projects
exceeding 1 GW of volume and tens of energy storage
applications.
