Sungrow, China and China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC) signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement and the inverter equipment procurement agreement for UAE’s 2.1GW Al Dhafra Solar PV power plant .

The project all adopts Sungrow’s string inverter of model SG250HX and the supporting medium voltage system. This solution has ultra-high protection level, power density and integration level, excellently coping with harsh environments, and further reducing the cost of electricity.

Al Dhafra Solar PV IPP will be the world’s largest single-site solar power plant, using approximately 4 million solar panels to generate enough electricity for approximately 160,000 homes across the UAE.

The project will be located approximately 35 kilometers from Abu Dhabi city.
