Global inverter and energy storage system provider Sungrow, is partnering with South African construction group WBHO in sub-Saharan Africa’s largest renewable-energy project.

Sungrow says its advanced technology will drive environmental and socioeconomic progress across the region.

Located in Welkom, in the Free State, this landmark initiative comprises two solar PV wheeling projects totalling 500 MW.

Owned by integrated renewable energy utility NOA Group and powered by Sungrow’s 1+X Modular Inverter and string combiner box, the installation features 712 000 bifacial solar modules mounted on single-axis trackers at the Khauta West and South sites. 

As NOA Group’s first utility-scale solar venture, Sungrow says this project marks a major milestone in Africa’s sustainable energy transition and solidifies NOA’s role as an energy aggregator capable of generating, wheeling and supplying clean electricity nationwide to decarbonise corporate operations.

"Sungrow is honoured to partner with WBHO in advancing Africa’s renewable-energy revolution.

"Our 1+X Modular Inverter and PVS-16MH solutions ensure seamless integration and peak performance, making this transformative project a reality,” says Sungrow sub-Saharan Africa director Eric Song.
