Ingeteam will be present at South Africa's largest solar energy trade fair

Ingeteam will be present at Stand G8 at the Power & Electricity World Africa fair to be held in South Africa on the 11th and 12th of March at the Sandton conventions centre in Johannesburg. The company opened a subsidiary in 2011 and has already reached the figure of 160 MW installed in three PV plants in this country. The Ingeteam inverters were selected for 38% of the total power awarded (417 MW) in the second round of tenders for PV plants. South Africa has already awarded 1,048 MW of the 1,450 MW approved by the country's Department of Energy for PV solar projects.

At this edition of Power & Electricity World Africa, Ingeteam is to present its 1MW Ingecon Sun Power Max inverter, which is the one installed in the three South African plants equipped by Ingeteam. The new Ingecon Sun 1Play and 3Play, intended for the domestic and commercial sectors respectively, are also to be showcased. In the area of hybrid systems, Ingeteam will present its Ingecon Hybrid AC Link inverter for stand-alone systems and micro-grids, and its Diesel-PV solution directed at reducing fuel consumption in diesel grids. Finally, Ingeteam will also exhibit its Ingerev City electric vehicle charging station, the same as the one installed outside its office door in South Africa, for public use.

Although Ingeteam's South African subsidiary is basically dedicated to the sale, operation and maintenance of power converters for the renewable energy sector (photovoltaic and wind power), the company also operates in the area of railway traction and the automation of the electricity grid. The subsidiary, located in Midrand, close to the capital city of Johannesburg, occupies a surface area of 540 m2 distributed between offices, showrooms and test benches.
