SMA supplies System Technology for the first utility-scale PV power plant in Myanmar

“SMA Sunny Central inverters with their proven technology and high power density are successfully in operation in numerous PV power plants worldwide. The robust central inverters undergo several demanding stress tests and are perfectly suited for all challenging climatic conditions. In the northern region of Myanmar where the PV project is located, the performance of the inverter capacity under extremely high temperatures is of fundamental importance. Our Sunny Central inverters can address the demand with full nominal power in continuous operation at ambient temperature up to 40 °C”, said John Susa, Executive Vice President of SMA Sales North America and APAC. “SMA has achieved great success in the South East Asia region in 2018 and this project is definitely one of the milestones,” John Susa continued, “we are very proud of working with CTIEC (China Triumph International Engineering Group Co., Ltd.). The EPC has rich experience with large-scale power plant projects in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America.”

“Minbu Solar Park is the first large scale solar project in Myanmar, we need to work with reliable partners to ensure its success in performance,” said Ray Liu, Director of New Energy Department at CTIEC. “We know that SMA has the global experience and reliability which is necessary to minimize the risks, we chose SMA’s system technology because we were impressed by its product testing procedure and high degree of design flexibility. SMA also made a vital contribution to deliver the products within a tight construction schedule.”
