Sinopec's 2025 Centralised Procurement Announcement for Inverters: Huawei, TBEA, Kehua, Sungrow, and Yingli

Published: May 20, 2025 10:15

Recently, the bid evaluation results for PV inverters in 2025 were announced. The project is divided into three power segments, including:

Centralized PV power generation medium- and low-power inverters (5-150kW): Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd., TBEA Xinjiang New Energy Co., Ltd.;

Centralized PV power generation large-power inverters (>150KW): Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd., Kehua Data Co., Ltd., Sineng Electric Co., Ltd., Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.;

Distributed PV power generation medium- and low-power inverters (5-150kW): TBEA Xinjiang New Energy Co., Ltd., Sineng Electric Co., Ltd.

According to public documents, the prequalification announcement for centralized PV power generation large-power inverters (>150KW) and centralized PV power generation medium- and low-power inverters (5-150kW) indicates that bidders must be PV inverter manufacturers (with the capability to research, develop, produce, and assemble the entire equipment, and OEM is not allowed). Bidders must have an average annual shipment of string inverters of no less than 2GW in the past three years (referring to the three years preceding the first release date of this tender announcement) and provide relevant proof of sales performance.

In addition, for the (5-150kW) power segment, the tender requires bidders to provide sales performance of inverters for small-scale PV power generation systems in fueling, gas filling, and hydrogen refueling stations or sales performance of inverters for small- and medium-sized industrial and commercial PV power generation projects in the past three years (referring to the three years preceding the first release date of this tender announcement), with a cumulative number of stations of no less than 50.

It is understood that the National Energy Administration has officially approved the power source allocation plan for the "Qaidam Desert Base (East Golmud) Base". The planned construction scale of the power source projects at this base is 17.44 million kilowatts, including 10 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power, 5 million kilowatts of wind power, 2.64 million kilowatts of coal-fired power, 0.1 million kilowatts of solar thermal power, and 1.5 million kilowatts (for 4 hours) of electrochemical energy storage. The total investment in the projects is about 86 billion yuan. The new energy will be transmitted to Guangxi through the "Qinghai-Guangxi DC" UHV power transmission project. Currently, significant progress has been made in the preliminary work of the "Qinghai-Guangxi DC" project, w

[SMM PV News] Armenia Hits 1.1 GW Solar Capacity,
Armenia’s cumulative solar capacity has surged to 1.1 GW following the addition of approximately 615 MW in 2025. This rapid expansion has pushed solar's share of electricity generation to around 15%, effectively meeting the country's 2030 target years ahead of schedule. The growth is heavily driven by a net-metering scheme supporting over 50,000 autonomous producers (totaling 650 MW), though the government ended loan subsidies for rooftop solar in July to shift focus toward battery storage.
