GoodWe to install 164 inverters and 6 electrical MV Transformer Station at the Prosolia Energy photovoltaic power station in Boidobra, Portugal

Madrid, 22 March 2023.- GoodWe, the multinational manufacturer of photovoltaic solutions, will supply 164 250K-HT inverters and 6 sub-stations for the Boidobra solar plant, a 43MW Prosolia Energy facility located in Covilha, Portugal. GoodWe has signed an agreement to become a supplier for Lantania, an infrastructure, water and energy company in charge of executing the works for Prosolia.

As David Sánchez, EMEA Utility and Large-Scale Sales Director, states: “This project is a great boost for the GoodWe’s commitments in the Iberian Peninsula and encourages us to continue working hard in the Portuguese and Spanish markets, where, due to the unique characteristics and advantages in terms of LCOE with our GW250HT inverter, we hope to continue growing with great projects. In addition, it is a further example of the good relationship and trust that exists between Prosolia Energy, Lantania and our company”.

For his part, Pedro Pereira da Silva, Prosolia Energy Country Manager in Portugal, has stated that “This project, together with other projects for photovoltaic plants and industrial facilities in Portugal and throughout the Iberian Peninsula, strengthens our position in Portugal as an independent company producing clean energy. When they are all operational, we will have an installed capacity of over 580 MW of photovoltaic energy and in this way we will take a big step forward in our objective of contributing to the change of the current energy model of the country towards a more sustainable one”.

“We are delighted to count on GoodWe, a solid and trustworthy partner, as a supplier of this renewable energy installation in Portugal”, states Lantania Renewable Energy Manager, Rafael Alcón, “a project in which 78,820 solar panels will be installed over 28.5 hectares and which will be capable of supplying around 70,000 MWh/year”.

The Boidobra project was awarded in the 2019 Portugal auction to Prosolia Energy, in a process in which all the sector’s leading players participated highly. Over 30 million euros will be invested in its development. Similarly, the independent energy producer, Prosolia Energy, tasked Lantania with its construction as an EPC contractor.

Technological innovations to achieve the highest performance

The unique technological innovations of GoodWe, such as its not derating up to 40 degrees, 12 MPPTs and DC-DC Booster, have had a major impact on the decision to choose GoodWe as the inverter manufacturer that delivered the best LCOE for this project. The non derating of its inverters enables them to work at maximum power (250kW) with a temperature of up to 40º, while other solutions on the market reduce their performance with lower temperatures.

GoodWe’s 12 MPPTs (Maximum Power Point Tracker) in Boidobra will ensure that the maximum power of the solar panels is reached, making them always work at the point of maximum power. With the installation of twelve MPPTs, there will be many trackers which will work to find the optimum point of power. In this way, more energy is obtained with the same investment, therefore obtaining a greater economic benefit.

Furthermore, GoodWe offers an efficient service for operation and maintenance, so that when an inverter breaks down, it is replaced by another, instead of repairing it with the resulting delay and lack of availability. In short, there is constant energy production with all available resources.

GoodWe has been chosen by Prosolia Energy to work in Boidobra due to its commitment to quality and reliability

GoodWe has positioned itself in the market as the most bankable inverter manufacture of 2021, with the best Altman-Z score of the inverter manufacturers listed on the stock exchange, according to BloombergNEF. “Our high bankability index makes us worthy of the trust placed in us by large companies in the photovoltaic sector, as they regard us as synonymous of reliability and return on investment.” states Álvaro Zanón, GoodWe’s EMEA Utility and Large Scale Technical Director and project technical team manager.

With over 35 GW installed in over 100 countries throughout the world, GoodWe inverters are amongst the most popular due to both their residential, commercial, and industrial use and suitability for large (utility-scale) plants with a wide range between 0.7kW and 250kW.
