SUNROVER Powers Up Landmark 11.18MW Rooftop Solar Project in Anhui

Clean energy innovator SUNROVER has achieved a milestone in China's renewable energy landscape with the official grid connection of its 11.18MW distributed rooftop Photovoltaic System in Anhui Province. This landmark project – among the largest commercial-industrial (C&I) rooftop installations in East China – underscores the accelerating adoption of advanced solar technologies to support national carbon neutrality targets while addressing industrial energy demands.

Technical Excellence Meets Sustainable Design
Spanning 83,000㎡ across logistics hubs and manufacturing facilities, the system leverages SUNROVER's proprietary N-type TOPCon bifacial modules. These 550W panels combine three critical advantages: a record 22.8% conversion efficiency, ultra-low 0.29% annual degradation (35% better than industry average), and 10-25% bifacial energy gain from rear-side light capture. Paired with Solis 1500V inverters featuring 99%+ conversion efficiency, the configuration delivers a 15% higher yield compared to conventional PERC systems – translating to an annual output of 12.83 million kWh.

The environmental impact is transformative, offsetting 12,790 tonnes of CO₂ annually – equivalent to removing 2,780 gasoline-powered vehicles from roads or powering 3,200 households. For host facilities, the system provides 18-22% reductions in electricity costs through solar self-consumption models, with excess power fed into the grid under Anhui's preferential feed-in tariff scheme.

Smart Energy Ecosystem
Beyond hardware, SUNROVER's proprietary platform enables real-time monitoring of all 20,324 modules through IoT sensors, detecting micro-level performance deviations within 2 minutes. The system complies with China's GB/T 19964-2022 grid standards, incorporating reactive power compensation and low-voltage ride-through capabilities essential for stable grid integration.

"This isn't just about panels on roofs," explained Dr. Liang Wei, SUNROVER's CTO. "We've created an intelligent energy network that synchronizes with industrial load patterns. Our machine learning algorithms predict energy demand peaks, enabling clients to optimize operational schedules for maximum cost savings."

Market Implications
The project arrives as China's C&I distributed PV sector surges, with the National Energy Administration reporting 15.6GW of new installations in Q1 2024 – a 62% YoY increase. SUNROVER now commands 17% market share in premium N-type solutions, having deployed over 800MW across 23 provinces. Industry analysts note the company's TOPCon modules currently achieve $0.018/W production cost advantages over rivals, supported by vertically integrated manufacturing from wafer to panel.

Local authorities highlight the project's replicability for urban industrial clusters, aligning with China's "14th Five-Year Plan" target of 50GW annual distributed PV additions. With 1.2 billion㎡ of viable C&I rooftops remaining untapped nationwide, SUNROVER plans to commission 2GW of similar projects by 2025, potentially displacing 2.3 million tonnes of coal consumption annually.

As global corporations intensify ESG commitments, such high-efficiency distributed solutions are redefining how industries approach energy infrastructure – transforming idle rooftops into strategic assets for both profitability and planetary stewardship.
