- 58.5MW floating solar plant connected to Thailand’s Grid.
- Sungrow supplied the inverters and floating body for the plant.
- The floating system covers an area of 121 hectares
A 58.5MW floating solar PV plant has been connected to the grid in Thailand. The system covers 121 hectares on the surface of a hydro reservoir in the northeast province of Ubon Ratchathani. The solar plant,, which is being called the largest floating solar plant in the country, was connected earlier this month and announced by EPC contractor, Chinese solar inverter maker Sungrow Power Supply Co.
Sungrow, which claims to be the number one market share leader in floating PV systems, supplied its SG3400HV PV inverters and a floating solution which it says “guarantees a minimal negative effect on the lake’s flora and fauna due to a removable small construction platform.”
Sungrow has previously deployed a a12.5MW floating solar plant on the industrial reservoir in the Rayong province and four floating solar systems with a total capacity of 15MW in the Suphanburi province.
