GE Power is to supply Scatec Solar with photovoltaic (PV) skids for a 162MW solar farm in the state of Ceara in Brazil.
The skids feature GE’s 1500-volt 1.1-MWac LV5 solar inverters, which will be manufactured at the company’s factory in Brazil.
GE said the skids require less cables, string boxes and associated infrastructure for installation at inverter stations.
Scatec Solar Brazil country manager Marcelo Taulois said: “GE has a proven track record in the solar industry, and its 1500-volt converter solution presents visible value levers for the plant development.”
GE Power Conversion business chief executive Patrick Fetzer said: “Brazil is one of our core countries to grow the solar business footprint. Winning this order will further strengthen our position in the utility-scale solar market in the country.”
