Ingeteam has provided photovoltaic inverters for Parliament Solar, a 640 MWdc project in Waller County, near Houston, Texas.
The development, led by Parliament Energy, represents the company’s largest inverter installation in the United States to date.
The site is expected to generate around 1,100 GWh of electricity annually, equivalent to the consumption of approximately 140,000 Texan households.
For the project, Ingeteam supplied 149 INGECON® SUN 3Power Series C liquid-cooled central photovoltaic inverters.
These were integrated into 80 UL-certified transformer stations and delivered as a turnkey solution. The company also carried out commissioning work from its Milwaukee production facility.
Ingeteam said the use of grid-forming technology enabled faster commissioning than originally anticipated.
Nohra Nasr, Vice President & General Manager for Solar PV & BESS in the United States at Ingeteam, said:
“Our experience in the market and the fact that we have a consolidated subsidiary on US soil have been key factors when awarding and executing the project. We hope it will be the first in a long list with this client.”
To date, Ingeteam has supplied more than 6 GW of solar inverters and energy storage solutions across the US. The company views the market as one with strong prospects for further renewable energy deployment.
Figures from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) underline this outlook. According to the regulator, utility-scale solar capacity overtook nuclear generation in January 2024.
Solar accounted for 81.5% of all new generating capacity brought online that year, with additions almost nine times greater than the combined total for natural gas and nuclear.
