Sungrow Powers Largest Middle East Solar Plant for NEOM Green Hydrogen Project
Sungrow, a leading global solar inverter manufacturer, has partnered with Larsen & Toubro to supply a cutting-edge inverter solution for a monumental 2.2-GWac solar power plant in Saudi Arabia. This project, part of the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project, aligns with Sungrow's commitment to 'Clean power for all' and supports Saudi Arabia's carbon neutrality goals.
The inverter solution, provided by Hitachi Energy, is a 1+X modular inverter skid with a 1.1 MW capacity per unit. It can be expanded up to 8.8 MW, demonstrating its flexibility and scalability. This design combines the benefits of central and string inverters, offering easier maintenance and improved efficiency. The solution includes smart string-level diagnosis and real-time parallel arc detection, enhancing safety.
The inverter is equipped to handle extreme climates, thanks to high-end smart forced air-cooling technology. Upon completion, the solar plant will become the largest single-site utility-scale solar plant in the Middle East. It aims to support the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project, targeting a daily capacity of 600 tonnes by the end of 2026. This project contributes to the growing momentum of green hydrogen initiatives worldwide.
