Spanning across land larger than a football field, the 99.8MW/99.8MWh Minety project was installed with Sungrow’s NCM and LFP battery energy storage system (ESS) solution featuring high integration, minimizing the footprint and slashing the commissioning time which significantly reduces the system cost.
