The decision to use DC-coupled BESS in this project is driven by the desire to maximize the performance of the solar assets. By coupling the storage system directly to the DC side of the solar PV system, Jinko’s solution helps reduce energy conversion losses compared to traditional AC-coupled systems. This improves the overall efficiency and ensures that the solar energy generated is stored and utilized more effectively, offering a more cost-efficient and scalable solution for utility-scale projects.
The system will feature Jinko’s SunTera liquid-cooled BESS, known for its thermal stability and long cycle life. The advanced liquid-cooling technology ensures optimal performance, even in Australia’s extreme climate, and enhances the safety and lifespan of the batteries. Beyond hardware supply, Jinko offers end-to-end integration support, providing engineering, design, and long-term operational optimization to ensure seamless deployment and reliable performance over the course of the project.
“This project highlights Jinko’s commitment to delivering integrated energy storage solutions that enhance the performance of solar systems,” said Anita Li, Vice President of Jinko ESS. “Our DC-coupled technology helps maximize efficiency and supports Australia’s renewable energy goals by enabling more effective use of solar power.”
Jinko ESS continues to provide high-efficiency, reliable, and scalable energy storage solutions, helping to build a more resilient and sustainable energy network in Australia.
