\"SMA<\/p>\n

2020 saw Germany’s SMA sign contracts for around 1.6 gigawatts of central inverter capacity for use in large-scale solar installations across Australia.<\/p>\n

SMA claims to have captured market share of approximately 65 percent of the total 6.5 gigawatts of central inverter capacity committed locally by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n

“Despite all the challenges we faced this year due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has been a highly successful year for SMA Australia,” said<\/a> Michael Rutt, Managing Director.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The contracts signed during 2020 include supply of SMA central inverter products for 15 large-scale projects scattered throughout Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory<\/p>\n

Among the bigger projects where SMA inverters will be used is the 162MW Columboola Solar Farm in Queensland. 39 Medium Voltage Power Stations – equipped with Sunny Central inverters, a medium voltage transformer and switchgear –<\/span> and an SMA Power Plant Controller will be supplied for Columboola Solar Farm.<\/p>\n

In May this year, SMA also scored a contract to supply the 460MW Western Downs Green Power Hub solar farm in Queensland with 90 SMA MVPS 6000-S-AU power stations. Here’s what one of the beasties looks like:<\/p>\n

\"Western<\/p>\n

SMA says the Western Downs project is be one of the biggest the company has undertaken globally.<\/p>\n

SMA inverters<\/a> have been a popular choice for home solar and commercial PV installations in Australia for more than a decade (the company has had a local presence for over 20 years), but apparently it was only five years ago when the company supplied its first central inverters here.<\/p>\n

According to SMA, more than 750,000 SMA inverters been installed across Australia, involved with producing more than 35% of all solar electricity in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming Up – Esperance Power Project<\/h2>\n

Among the projects to have Sunny Central UP inverters delivered next year will be WA’s Horizon Power’s Esperance Power<\/a>; a hybrid plant currently under construction featuring wind, solar, gas and battery storage that will slash the carbon footprint of power supply to Esperance by almost 50% per annum.<\/p>\n

Two new wind turbines with a combined capacity of 9MW will generate 58% more electricity than the current six wind turbines located at nearby Ten Mile Lagoon and Nine Mile Beach combined. The solar power aspect will be a 4MW PV facility comprised of more than 8,900 solar panels\u00a0 – the largest solar farm in Horizon Power’s portfolio to date.<\/p>\n

The other elements of Esperance Power are a new gas-fired power station and a 5.5MW \/ 1.9 MWh battery system. When completed and operational, solar and wind power will provide up to 46% of Esperance\u2019s electricity.<\/p>\n

As well as a successful year in Australia, SMA looks set for a very good 2020 overall. In November the company reported it had sold 10.65 GW of inverter capacity<\/a> between January and the end of September 2020, compared to 7.49 GW for the same period last year and representing a 34% increase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
