Solarpro/Hithium

Bulgaria: 55 MWh battery energy storage system deployed

The new facility officially went live in early June, with the delivery of Hithium’s 16 energy storage containers, each with a capacity of 3.44MWh, to Solarpro. Solarpro, in turn, managed the entire project lifecycle – from design, to implementation, and integration of the SCADA management system.

Hithium Block 3.44MWh container

The Hithium Block 3.44MWh container is a liquid-cooled battery storage system based on Hithium prismatic LFP BESS cells with a 280Ah capacity and a high cyclic lifetime. It is specially optimized for use in stationary battery storage systems regarding safety, reliability, and performance.

16 containers form the BESS installation.
