Sungrow Signs 66 MW/253 MWh Energy Storage Contract with Doral Renewable Energy

Sungrow, the global leading inverter and energy storage solution supplier, signed a 66 MW/253 MWh energy storage contract with the Doral Renewable Energy Resources Group, an Israel-based renewable energy and environmental infrastructure developer.

This is Israel's first DC-coupled liquid cooled energy storage project and will further enhance the stability and reliability of Israel's electricity grid in view of the increasing market growth of PV-based plants.

As the Israeli government races to meet the goal of producing 30% of its electricity from renewables by 2030, solar-plus-storage solutions are becoming the future-proof and sustainable trend to ensure the reliability of the power grid.

Solar is expected to be the major contributor, accounting for 26% of this goal. Sungrow will supply the latest DC-coupled liquid cooled energy storage system (ESS) solutions to Doral Energy's solar-plus-storage projects.

The 4-hour liquid cooled ESS slashes capital and operating expenses due to its pre-assembled and easy installation design as well as a more effective cell working environment which substantially slows down the capacity loss rate.

Meanwhile, the DC-coupled design is streamlined and doesn't need an additional power conversion system (PCS) and a medium-voltage station, which is cost-saving for the project.

Doral Energy is the largest ESS developer in Israel and its total pipeline in both Solar Storage I & II government tenders reaches 1.44 GWh. Yaki Noyman, CEO of Doral Energy commented, "With Sungrow's solution we finalized our procurement needs for PV + Storage Tender number 1 and made a first step working with Sungrow to allow our global storage effort to rely on key suppliers."
