The local company Sungrow, is developing in Gaoan, central province of Jiangxi, in China, the largest rooftop photovoltaic project in the world. A facility that will occupy 665,000 square meters with 120 MW installed, enough to supply the energy needs of some 70,000 homes.
It will be located on the roof of a ceramics factory for the construction industry, and where annual production is expected to reach 120 GW/h. Something that, according to its promoters, will mean saving some 96,000 tons of carbon dioxide and also making the factory self-sufficient from an energy point of view, even exporting part of its surplus.
In addition, the inverters used in this project are pre-assembled with a storage interface, so the facility owner can easily add battery backup without system modifications.
Something that will allow, among other things, to guarantee significant savings in time and costs for the project stakeholders when a demand for energy storage arises in an attempt to obtain profitability by offering photovoltaic installation services in sectors such as the reduction of demand peaks, voltage regulation or auxiliary services.
