Sungrow Presents Latest Innovations for the Caribbean Decarbonization

Energyear Caribe convened for its third time in the Dominican Republic. Sungrow, the summit's dedicated sponsor, shared insights on technical innovations applied to PV plants, offering a multiple of opportunities and approaches for Caribbean decarbonization.

Deep decarbonization to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions is one of the Caribbean region's major ambitions as this could have large economic, environmental, and social benefits.

As a leader in Caribbean energy growth, the Dominican Republic commits to a 27% greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction by 2030. 

Gonzalo Feito, Sungrow's Andean and Caribbean Regional Director, introduced some key PV inverter technologies which maximize the return on investments for stakeholders and presented a speech titled, 'New Technologies Applied to Photovoltaic Plant Development and Performance,' illustrating Sungrow's competitiveness in the PV sector.

"An experienced supplier like Sungrow, with 269 GW installations globally can offer customers reliable and resilient inverter solutions, delivering higher availability and lower LCOE," said Feito. Among its latest inverter portfolio, the 1+X Modular Inverter is the most innovative as it redefines both the "string" and "central" inverter with its modular design -- the product features a 1.1 MW single unit as the minimum, and the maximum capacity can be expanded to 8.8 MW by combining eight units. Customers can choose from 1.1 MW to 8.8 MW based on their specific project requirements. In addition, operation and maintenance (O&M) duration and costs are significantly decreased due to this modular design.
