The 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative | Sungrow string inverters help Azerbaijan's first large-scale new energy photovoltaic power station to connect to the grid for power generation!

Recently, Azerbaijan's first 308MWp large-scale new energy photovoltaic power station was officially connected to the grid for power generation. Sungrow provided it with industry-leading photovoltaic solutions. After the power station is connected to the grid, the annual power generation will reach 500 million kWh, which can meet the electricity needs of 110,000 households. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the successful completion of the project is an important milestone in the green energy cooperation between China and Azerbaijan, injecting strong impetus into the local green and low-carbon development.

Azerbaijan is one of the first countries to support the Belt and Road Initiative and has cooperated with China in transportation, logistics, infrastructure and other fields. Against the backdrop of global carbon neutrality, the Azerbaijan Ministry of Energy expects to increase the proportion of renewable energy installed capacity to 30% by 2030, and has begun to actively seek cooperation with Chinese new energy companies to accelerate economic diversification and reduce dependence on oil and gas.

As the first large-scale renewable energy power station in Azerbaijan, the project is located in the Gobustan district, about 60 kilometers southwest of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and covers an area of ​​about 5.5 million square meters. The power station uses all Sungrow SG320HX string inverters and adopts an innovative 8.85MW large sub-array design to further increase power generation, reduce investment costs, and ensure safe and efficient power generation. In addition, relying on the SG320HX inverter SCR=1.16 weak grid stable operation capability, it can effectively support the power grid.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev speaks at the grid connection ceremony

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at the grid connection ceremony: "Last year we participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the photovoltaic power plant. Today, we are very proud to see that in a relatively short period of time, this empty area of ​​​​Gobustan has become a source of green energy. This is a remarkable achievement."

Over the past decade, Chinese companies have used their products, technologies and services to inject vitality into the energy transformation of many countries and promote local economic growth. As a leading Chinese renewable energy company, Sungrow has also contributed to the Belt and Road Initiative by providing cutting-edge renewable energy solutions and services. It is believed that more and more renewable energy projects will be implemented under this initiative in the future, and global carbon neutrality will move on to a fast track.
