Sungrow Delivers Rooftop Solar for COP27 Convention Center

Global leading inverter and energy storage supplier for renewables, Sungrow, declares that it contributes its due share to COP27 occasions with the delivery of a rooftop solar project at the International Convention Center Sharm El-Sheikh, in which COP27 events are taking place.

In cooperation with ACO (Arab Consulting Office), Solarize EGYPT and Amarenco group, the solar project at International Convention Center Sharm El-Sheikh is the flagship one to power COP27 events directly. The solar project will produce around 1.6GWh of clean electricity and 1042 ton of CO2 per year.

Together with other solar projects in Sharm El-Sheikh which are powering business, transport, and tourism facilities related to COP27, Sungrow said that it’s honoring its promise to help the Egyptian government turn in Sharm El-Sheikh into a green and smart city and advance its national sustainability goals.

Eyes On Africa

Sungrow said that COP27 serves as a chance for Africa to voice its needs for inclusive and sustainable development. In this regard, Sungrow also expands its footprint across the entire African continent. It achieves a total of 1.5GW shipments there, building a major driving force for the adoption of renewable energy, and tackling the negative impacts of climate change. The company supplied Egypt’s largest solar-plus-storage plant located at a mine site, a significant facilitator for the MENA region’s energy transition for minerals.

Sungrow also delivered the Golomoti project, Malawi’s first-ever commercial solar-plus-storage park. It recently secured Africa’s Largest Private IPP PV Project of SOLA Group which can generate 540 GWh of clean electricity per year, satisfying local demands for electricity greatly.

As of June 2022, Sungrow installed more than 269 GW of inverter equipment worldwide, altogether generating 371.3 billion kWh of clean electricity and reducing carbon emissions by 297 million tons per year. Besides, Sungrow also joined RE100 and EP100 to reinforce its commitment to use 100% renewable energy across the whole value chain and improve energy productivity by 35% by 2028.
