ABB India has surpassed the 5-GW milestone for the supply of solar inverters in India, the company said in a release. The inverter was flagged off from ABB India’s Bengaluru plant recently.
ABB’s end-to-end portfolio for solar energy including solar inverters, powers about 50 percent of the various solar projects in the country. Plant management solutions including environmental management, software tools and lifetime support are also part of ABB’s solar portfolio in India.
Having crossed the 5 GW-milestone, ABB India has to its credit the fact that 40 per cent of India’s total solar capacity of 13 GW is equipped with solar inverters from ABB India. Including other products in the solar portfolio of ABB India, the company’s products have found application in about 50 per cent of various solar projects in the country, the release observed.
ABB started inverter production in India in 2012. Last year, ABB India doubled its solar inverter manufacturing capacity in India. In a span of just five months during 2015, ABB India had doubled its solar inverter manufacturing facility to 2 GW.
ABB is a prominent global supplier of solar photovoltaic (PV) inverters. ABB’s solar inverter product portfolio ranges from 2 kW to 2 MW. String inverters with capacity ranging from 2kW to 120kW are optimized for residential rooftop usage and those from 250 kW to 2 mw are central inverters, ideal for cost-efficient multi-megawatt power plants.
