Romania's Greatest PV Project To Run With Sungrow Inverters
China-headquartered PV inverter as well as energy storage space system service supplier Sungrow Energy has introduced its' contract with Romania's PV plant project called Ratesti PV plant. Under this contract, Sungrow will provide PV inverter to this Ratesti PV plant's EPC company INTEC Energy Solutions. The complete capacity of this solar project is 154 MW. According to Romania & Sungrow Energy, this is the largest project of its sort in this country, helping Southeast Europe's energy transition and also cultivating nationwide energy independence.
The plant will be set up in Arges County in southern Romania. Based on the project's EPC supplier (INTEC Energy Solutions), this solar plant will certainly generate 124 GWh of electricity annually.
This substantial project in Romania used Sungrow's 6.25 MWA turnkey main inverter solution. Sungrow claims that these PV inverters have the unequaled 99% performance which is perfect for utility-scale applications. Shipping and O&M are made easier by the limited assimilation of a medium voltage transformer, switchgear, and total automation right into the remedy in a 40-ft container.
According to the national energy and climate strategy, Romania anticipates to install regarding 7 GW of new renewables capacity, of which about 3.7 GW is estimated to be solar project, to achieve its 2030 renewables target of 30.7 percent.
The country's solar PV market is anticipated to be driven by this. "Sungrow is recognized to have actually added to the 154 MW Ratesti project, which will certainly help the country meet even more of its energy needs through renewable resources. As a dedicated individual with a 25-year history in the sector, we have extensive local groups in Europe to provide prompt and competent solutions. Lewis Li, General Manager from Sungrow Europe, stated, "We anticipate supplying ingenious, significant, scalable, and also affordable solutions for extra companions as well as customers.
In a recent yearly report from IHS Markit, Sungrow delivered 47.1 GW of goods in 2021 to take the leading area internationally. China is home to six of the leading 10 inverter business.

China’s $7bn polysilicon plan tests Beijing’s solar overcapacity ambitions
China’s push to tame industrial overcapacity has zeroed in on the solar sector’s upstream chokepoint: polysilicon. Leading producers are discussing a 50 billion yuan (about USD 7 billion) restructuring vehicle to purchase and permanently close older, loss-making plants—paired with coordinated output limits meant to stop a ruinous price war. If implemented, the plan could sideline roughly a third of national capacity and stabilize a market where supply has been running at roughly double global demand.
Backers frame the idea as a necessary reset after a breakneck buildout left factories competing on volume at wafer-thin margins. But it faces thorny politics and execution risk: deciding who gets included, convincing local governments to accept closures that hit tax bases and jobs, and maintaining discipline if prices rebound and members are tempted to ramp. Analysts warn that even with cuts, 2025 utilization might hover near 35–40%, leaving the system saturated unless downstream demand meaningfully accelerates.
For buyers outside China, the implications are mixed. A credible curtailment could lift polysilicon—and eventually module—prices from today’s depressed levels, complicating budgets for projects counting on continued cost declines. Conversely, a more orderly supply side may reduce the whiplash of boom-bust cycles, improve quality consistency, and create room for non-Chinese investments in wafers and cells to gain a foothold. How the mechanism is governed—who funds it, how quotas are set, and what enforcement looks like—will determine whether it’s true reform or a brief ceasefire.
What to watch next: formal announcements on fund capitalization and governance; any ministry guidance that blesses (or conditions) coordinated output limits; signals from provincial authorities on plant retirements; and early price movements in polysilicon spot markets. A durable framework in solar could offer a template for Beijing’s broader overcapacity clean-up—while failure here would hint at harder fights ahead in sectors like EVs and shipbuilding.
