Sungrow commissions 1.4 MWp solar plant for Egypt’s desert oil facility

Sungrow, a China-based PV inverter and energy storage systems supplier, has commissioned a 1.4 MWp solar plant at the Esh El Mallaha petroleum facility in Hurghada, Egypt. The project was delivered with Arab Consulting Office as the authorized distributor and Korra Energi as the EPC partner. The installation uses nine SG150CX string inverters with multi-MPPT technology to optimize solar output for remote desert operations. The facility’s digital monitoring platform enables real-time performance tracking and condition-based maintenance of the plant, helping limit downtime under demanding desert conditions. The installation is anticipated to generate 125 MWh of electricity every year and avoid approximately 125 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The project replaces part of diesel-based generation with onsite PV power, reducing fuel logistics requirements and strengthening reliability for critical oilfield operations.
