TBEA is Enlisted as SPIC Qualified Inverter Supplier

The State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) recently issued the review list of qualified solar inverter suppliers and TBEA New Energy concentrated and series solar inverters were both enlisted.

This review of SPIC is told to have begun in June 2019 and is conducted based on the principles of “openness, fairness and prioritization” and by putting the performance, enterprise scale and productivity as primary index while giving comprehensive consideration of enterprises’ production and management, performance of contract and after-sale services. Prioritized suppliers will be enlisted in the List of SPIC Qualified Suppliers which will be used as the evaluation result of qualification for bidding and purchase.

TBEA New Energy’s inverter business has covered more than 20 countries in 4 continents, serving over 1,000 solar plants of concentrated or distributed manners and the product features “super high configuration and high efficiency”, providing client with the optimal solution.

Since 2019, power plant development has been putting more emphasis on LCOE, which is levelized cost of energy. Compared with previous practice, efficient equipment combination, while improving generation, usually increases BOS costs of the system. The year 2020 marks the implementation of parity. Parity project proposes higher requirements for system design, equipment selection, product performance and intelligent operation & maintenance, and the success of a project needs a LCOE-oriented comprehensive evaluation of the entire system.

From the system perspective of power station, the technical development of inverter is consistent with the target of system LCOE. Both integrated and series inverter solution are pursuing higher voltage, bigger unit power, higher power-capacity ratio, stronger output overload ability and active and safe technology, all centered on lowering LCOE.

Based on the features of system technical development under the background of parity, TBEA Xi’an Electrics Technology Co., Ltd., the wholly-owned company of TBEA New Energy, launched the system solution based on 1,500V brand new large power series inverter, which reduces overall LCOE by more than 7% utilizing higher voltage, larger power, higher power-capacity ratio, larger array and technology in active safety. This brand new series inverter with large power, rated at 228kW, is one of the industry’s high-level series inverters and the “best solution” for parity.

Inevitable industrial development trend requires solar enterprises to think from the perspective of entire industrial chain and only with scales will the future be filled with adequate strategic imaginations and development spaces. We must become “stronger” while growing scales, which requires solar enterprises to not only have the strongest team for execution, best management, most advanced core technology, optimal cost control and most powerful fund support, but also improve by much more in consistent optimization of technology and cost reduce of product. TBEA New Energy will follow the industrial trend and continue achieving higher scores in scale development and speedy project implementation in the solar area.
