- Solis and Amara Power completed a 50kW solar + 50kWh storage system in Yangon, boosting commercial energy reliability and cost efficiency.
- The project features advanced hybrid inverter tech and seamless grid-off-grid transition, supporting energy arbitrage and VPP integration.
Global inverter manufacturer Solis has successfully commissioned a 50kW solar-plus-storage system in Myanmar’s Yangon Region, marking a significant milestone in the country’s shift toward commercial clean energy. Amara Power installed the system, which centres around the Solis S6-EH3P50K-H hybrid inverter, which delivers reliable performance, intelligent energy management, and scalability for commercial use.
This solar-plus-storage installation supports key operations at a commercial building, powering lighting, air conditioning, and essential IT and communication systems. By integrating solar and battery storage, the project demonstrates how hybrid inverter technology can help emerging markets achieve energy independence while reducing electricity costs.
The system features a 70.8 kWp solar array with a 50 kWh Longlast lithium battery. It operates with Solis’s advanced inverter, which includes commercial-grade features. With a transition time of less than 10 milliseconds from grid to off-grid, the system ensures seamless power continuity during outages. It also accommodates high energy input with a 20A string current and supports 2x PV oversizing to maximise solar harvesting. Additionally, dual backup ports prioritise critical loads, and the 1.6x overload capacity supports high-demand equipment. An integrated diesel generator control feature provides added reliability during extended periods of low solar output.
The system’s flexibility extends further, allowing parallel operation of up to six units, with the potential to scale up to ten. This modular design enables businesses to expand their energy capacity in line with future growth. Amara Power praised the installation’s performance, with a company spokesperson highlighting the smooth integration and the system’s impressive reliability and efficiency.
Beyond offering backup power, the system helps optimise energy use and reduce costs. It enables electricity price arbitrage by charging batteries during off-peak hours and discharging when tariffs are high. The setup is also compatible with Virtual Power Plant (VPP) networks and Energy Management Systems (EMS), allowing businesses to fully control their energy flow and participate in future energy markets.
This project represents a significant leap forward for solar adoption in Myanmar. It reduces reliance on diesel generators, strengthens energy reliability, and improves operational efficiency. The system sets a new standard for commercial clean energy solutions in a country where energy security and cost control are top business concerns.
