Global energy solutions company Mingyang is planning to deepen its presence in the Indian renewable energy market with the launch of its new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The Chinese firm, which has so far been supplying static var generator (SVG) solutions in India, is now broadening its product portfolio with this new offering.

The company entered the Indian market two years ago with its SVG systems. “We started our journey in India around two years ago with our SVG solutions. As of now, we have commissioned around 3.5 GW of SVG for the Indian market, which is used for grid stabilization,” said Sagar Kale, Country Manager of Guangdong Mingyang Unlimitedpower Co. Ltd.

Customised Solutions 

Mingyang’s BESS technology is energy-source neutral and can be deployed across wind, solar, rooftop, C&I, and utility-scale projects. We offer PCS solutions from 100 kW to 3.4 MW, which can be used by anyone. We can customise the solution based on the project’s needs,” Kale said. The company showcased its BESS solutions at the recently held REI Expo at Greater Noida.

Highlighting the company’s technological edge, he added, “Our USP is that without using a transformer, we can deliver output at the 33 kV voltage level. This is the latest ground-level technology, and we are the only ones who can offer it in the Indian solar market.”

Global Experience 

Globally, Mingyang has deployed 3 GWh of conventional BESS storage. Kale said customers choosing a storage provider should prioritise firms with a strong global footprint. “For after-sales, we have a dedicated team for both BESS and SVG solutions. We are very focused on this,” he noted.

The company began its India operations primarily with solar PV equipment and now has an 8 GW SPV project pipeline. “We have also secured 15 PCS orders so far from various users,” Kale added.

With its new offerings for India, Mingyang is seeking collaborations to scale up adoption. “We are open to tie-ups and looking for deeper penetration into the market,” he said.
