The Region’s Most Ambitious Solar Project—Delivered on Time

Together with Gulf Energy, Sungrow has successfully delivered a 531.82 MW solar-plus-storage project with an energy storage capacity of 209.15 MWh. This project further demonstrates Sungrow’s proven expertise in delivering large-scale PV inverters and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The first phase, spanning five project sites, represents one of Southeast Asia’s most ambitious integrated renewable energy deployments to date. It sets a new benchmark for clean energy management in the region, supporting Gulf Energy’s long-term vision for sustainable development.

Teamwork That Made the Dream Work

To ensure timely delivery, Sungrow swiftly assembled a cross-border team of experts from Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan, India, Myanmar, and its headquarters. Despite time zone differences and geographic challenges, the team worked around the clock for 30 days, completing both cold and hot commissioning on the first attempt. The project was delivered on schedule and entered commercial operation by December 31, 2024—demonstrating the ETS team’s customer-first mindset and strong end-to-end project execution capabilities.

A Smart Solution: Technology Met Tradition

Fortunately, Sungrow’s microinverters offered a cutting-edge solution. Designed with a high-performance Wi-Fi module, they feature superior signal penetration, wide coverage, and strong anti-interference performance. On-site testing proved the system could transmit through two layers of thick stone walls without compromising signal stability, maintaining a signal strength of -70 dB. The transmission radius also extended beyond 11.5 meters, allowing the system to ensure seamless connectivity throughout the project site. This meant that one of the project’s primary aims—to inject new solar technology into the mill without affecting its historical aesthetics—was fulfilled. Preserving the past while powering the future.

Committed to the Cause

This milestone reflects Sungrow’s ongoing commitment to delivering excellence and lays a strong foundation for future project execution in 2025 and beyond. Looking ahead, Sungrow will continue its long-term partnership with Gulf Energy, supplying 3.5 GWp of PV inverters and liquid-cooled energy storage systems over the next seven years—supporting the expansion of clean energy and contributing to a more sustainable future.
