Sungrow FPV’s 10MW Thailand Project Successfully Grid-Connected, Defying Strong Winds!
Recently, the 10MW floating solar project in Saraburi Province, Thailand, was successfully connected to the grid. Built on an industrial lake within Cargill’s integrated poultry processing plant, the floating PV plant utilizes Sungrow FPV’s comprehensive system solutions. Over its lifecycle, the project is expected to generate approximately 285 million kWh of clean electricity, reducing CO₂ emissions by around 132,000 tons.

Despite previous strong wind incidents in the area, the floating PV system remained unaffected, earning customer recognition for its high stability and reliability. Based on wind tunnel tests and on-site meteorological mast data, Sungrow FPV optimized wind load calculations, conducting comprehensive structural strength and anchoring stability assessments to ensure long-term resilience in extreme conditions.
Robust System Structure: High-strength Zn-Al-Mg supports withstand winds up to 180 km/h. The floaters passed the industry’s most stringent bending, tensile fatigue, and diagonal pull tests. Reinforced connection points provide exceptional resistance, ensuring zero component damage, joint stability, and floater integrity under strong winds.
Scientific Mooring Design: Wind-wave-current coupling analysis determined dynamic responses, optimizing 237 anchor points with custom cable lengths.
An adaptive elastic mooring system accommodates 9m water-level fluctuations. High-capacity anchor blocks were rigorously tested for tensile, anti-tipping, and anti-deflection performance, ensuring slip-resistant stability.

Mr. Sanjay Gupta, CEO of Cleantech Solar, stated that it was an honor to deploy Sungrow's advanced FPV system for the project, which delivers stable green power to the park. He confirmed continued partnership with Sungrow FPV to support Thailand's 2037 energy target of sourcing 51% of total electricity generation from renewables.
