U.S.A.'s FTC Solar to Supply Solar Tracker Solution to Australia's Hybrid Project

• Project expected to be biggest DC-coupled solar and also battery project in Australia,
• This project represents FTC's 23rd project in Australia, as well as its biggest single-project in Australia to date.

USA-based FTC Solar has actually announced that it has actually been selected to provide its Voyager solar tracker modern technology for the 128 MW Cunderdin Hybrid PV Solar as well as Energy Storage Project in Western Australia. FTC Solar asserts to be a leading global service provider of solar tracker systems, software, and engineering services.

The hybrid solar project is possessed by Global Power Generation (GPG). It is located approximately 90 miles east of Perth. FTC Solar said that the project will certainly be the largest DC-coupled solar PV and also battery project in Australia. The assimilation of a Battery Energy Storage System with a massive photovoltaic (PV) nuclear power plant will make it possible for added flexibility in plant procedure, permitting the center to also support the Wholesale Energy Market during peak need periods.

Pedro Serrano, Chief Business Development Officer for GPG, claimed, "We delight in to be making use of FTC Solar's tracker innovation on this essential project. The Cunderdin project will be the largest of its kind in Australia, and also the high energy density and highly constructible style of FTC's 2P Voyager solution will certainly offer itself well in this development."

Patrick Cook, Chief Commercial Officer for FTC Solar, mentioned, "Over the past 18 months, we have remained to broaden our visibility in Australia with orders as well as distributions of greater than 240 megawatts of trackers. This project represents our 23rd project in Australia, as well as our biggest single-project in the nation to date, with one more impressive consumer."

The project will make use of 2P Voyager+ tracker solution of FTC Solar. The company stated that the tracker solution offers setup speeds, high slope resistance, minimized part matter, high energy density, as well as a DC collections advantage. The building of the solar project is anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022 with commercial procedure prepared for to commence in the first quarter of 2024.
