Sungrow, an inverter and energy-storage-solution supplier and Enlight Renewable Energy, an Israeli-traded developer and IPP with global operations across the United States, Europe and Israel, announced a joint agreement in which Sungrow will supply Enlight with 430 megawatt hours of its flagship liquid cooled energy storage system (ESS). The contract is the largest ESS agreement signed in Israel, bolstering the country's energy transition and marking a massive scale-up in installations for the newly launched system.
Last year the Israeli government introduced its goal of generating 30 percent of its electricity needs via renewables by 2030. Solar PV is expected to contribute to most of it, corresponding to 26 percent of Israel's renewable electricity in 2030, indicating 12 gigawatts to 15 gigawatts of new photovoltaic (PV) installations in the coming decade. To reach that percentage of solar usage, Israel aims to develop an advanced solar-plus-storage system
