Sungrow inverters to equip 814-MW solar project in Qatar

Chinese solar inverter maker Sungrow Power Supply Co Ltd (SHE:300274) today said it will supply inverters for an 814-MW alternating current (AC) photovoltaic (PV) project in Qatar.

The company was awarded the contract by Samsung C&T Corp’s (KRX: 028260) Engineering and Construction Group. The deal was signed recently and will see Sungrow deliver its MV-integrated 1500V string inverter SG320HX for the project, which is expected to be completed by 2024.

The project will be Qatar’s second solar power plant. According to the announcement, it will generate 1,800 GWh a year, offsetting 900,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

"Qatar has become an important country in the global solar energy development and an important part of Sungrow's business in the Middle East,” commented Sungrow senior vice president James Wu.

Qatar inaugurated its first large-scale solar park, the 800-MWp Al Kharsaah complex, in October 2022.

In August 2022, state-owned petroleum company QatarEnergy selected Samsung C&T to build an 875-MW solar duo in two industrial cities in the Gulf state.
