Huawei’s inverters will be routed in large quantities to European solar projects via the network of a German partner, who will manage the supply of 5 GW over the next two years under the terms of a new agreement.
In a recent statement, the Chinese group said that its Hanover-based wholesaler partner, Wattkraft Solar, will distribute the String Solar Smart PV inverters, a product line updated about five months ago.
Launched at All-Energy Australia last October, the FusionSolar 6.0 Smart PV solution incorporates a 1500 V inverter with a monitoring system and various other functions.
The product can, according to Huawei, support intelligent PV management functionality capable of performing full load remote analyzes for a 100 MW photovoltaic plant in 15 minutes.
The 5 GW of inverters that the agreement will see supplied in 2020 and 2021 will be added to the 1.6 GWac of inverters that the wholesaler Wattkraft distributed last year.
Ulf Hermenau, director of sales for Huawei’s DACH channel, said the company is looking forward to “further strengthening its partnerships” in the residential and C&I segments.
Huawei’s new targeting of Europe comes five months after its inverters were the first to comply with the new grid codes in Spain, currently the fastest growing photovoltaic market on the continent.
The prospect of an increase in UPS inflows to Europe is emerging as new data suggests that the continent will have the greatest commercial opportunity for UPS substitution.
In a report released this week, researchers at IHS Markit predicted that replacing inverters would increase by 20% to become an 8.7 GW market this year, with Europe being identified as the most in need.
The last few days have seen the emergence of another competitor from the European giant of inverters.
The Italian group FIMER plans more than 7 GW of deliveries this year after taking over the business of troubled inverters from ABB, while the transaction makes it the fourth largest supplier in the world.
