The Chinese Solar Inverter Manufacturer Sungrow Will Supply Inverters and MV Stations for the Futura I 852 MWp Photovoltaic Solar Power Project in Brazil
The solar inverter company received the order, and recently a notice to proceed, from the Brazilian energy company Focus Energia regarding the Futura I solar power project. Sungrow will deliver more than 100 units of its MVS6300-LV transformer stations and over 3,000 solar inverters of the SG250HX model. The company will also provide commissioning and startup services, it said in a statement yesterday (03/09/20).

The Spanish solar tracker manufacturer Soltec Power Holdings recently announced that it will also supply its equipment for the Futura I solar power project alongside the Chinese solar inverter manufacturer. The deployment of Futura I is expected to start in April 2021, while the project’s commercial operation is anticipated for the first half of 2022.
With 22 photovoltaic parks, each with a capacity of 38.73 MWp, Futura I represents the first phase of what is planned to become the Futura solar complex of 3 GW. Focus Energia selected an area of 2,000 hectares (4,942 acres) outside the city of Juazeiro in the state of Bahia to install the Futura I plants.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.
The 852 MWp stage will require investments exceeding R$ 2.2 billion, according to Sungrow.
Futura I Solar Power Project
According to the company’s previous plan, the Futura I solar project consists of 45 parks divided between Futura 1, Futura 2, and Futura 3/Apia. All these solar power projects together will have a generating capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MWa) of average solar energy.
Focus Energia may also utilize any surplus from the Futura projects to create parallel projects that benefit the Brazilian population.
