Sungrow supplied the PV inverters and the battery systems for the plant. The hybrid park was developed by Solarwork Sverige and Powerworks Energy and is expected to generate over 7,000 MWh of clean electricity annually, as well as increasing the supply of electricity in line with demand. The plant is owned by the company Sperlingsholms Gods.
Sustainable energy with high efficiency
„We have invested in the solar park because we are convinced that society needs sustainable ways to generate electricity“, says Carl Kuylenstierna, CEO of Sperlingsholms Gods. „We produce electricity exactly when it is most needed – in the middle of the day and at low marginal costs.“

The 6.6 MW PV installation consists of almost 12,000 bifacial PV modules mounted on a ground structure. The majority of the solar power is converted by 20 units of Sungrow's SG250HX string inverters.
Energy storage to support the grid
To further optimise energy efficiency and support the grid, the hybrid system also includes a 4 MW battery energy storage system from Sungrow's PowerTitan 1.0. The PV system and the battery system can operate independently of each other to ensure flexibility and reliability.

„PowerTitan 1.0 with its 1C system enables us to charge and discharge within an hour – perfect for the markets in which we operate. In addition, the liquid cooling significantly reduces operating costs and ensures long-term system stability“, Fredrik Lyckvind, CSO at Powerworks Energy said.
Rapid and flexible installation
The project was able to meet its tight schedule thanks to the efficient installation of the inverters and PowerTitan units. „The 20 SG250HX inverters installed were selected to handle large amounts of energy while providing a flexible installation“, Fredrik Liljehov, Head of Utility at Solarwork Sverige, emphasised.

Setting new standards
„Hybrid projects currently enable the most efficient use of renewable energy. Raphael Henkel, Regional Manager Sweden and Finland at Sungrow, said: „We are pleased to be working with Solarwork Sverige and Powerworks Energy. The successful completion of one of the first hybrid solar projects in Sweden demonstrates the growing demand for integrated PV and ESS solutions“.
