Sungrow, a global leader in photovoltaic (PV) inverter and energy storage system (ESS) solutions, has supplied 180 units of its SG350HX string inverters to a 70 MWp solar power plant in Simo, Lapland. The project, developed by Solarigo Systems Oy and supported by distributor PVO International, is one of the largest in Finland and the world's northernmost large-scale PV installations.

Project Details

The 95-ha site will host approximately 120,000 solar panels and is located just 100 km below the Arctic Circle. The project will be connected to already existing wind turbines, forming a hybrid power plant that supports Finland's carbon neutrality goals. Sungrow's SG350HX inverters were selected for their performance in cold, wet, and demanding environments.

Inverter Capabilities

The SG350HX inverters feature up to 16 maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) with a maximum efficiency of 99%, enabling high energy yields under variable conditions. They include smart safety features such as a reactive power response time of less than 30 ms and stable operation in extremely weak grids.

Collaboration and Support

The project is a collaboration between EPC Solarigo and PVO International, which supplied the solar panels and Sungrow's inverters. Solarigo brings extensive experience in building PV infrastructure in northern conditions. Sungrow's technical support and long-term warranty terms are essential for projects in remote and demanding locations. With this project, Sungrow demonstrates its commitment to supporting the energy transition, even in remote parts of Europe, and the viability of large-scale PV in Arctic conditions.
