Global renewable energy company Sungrow has signed a major agreement with clean energy leader Masdar to supply advanced energy storage and solar inverter solutions for Abu Dhabi’s massive round-the-clock renewable energy project. The project is being developed alongside Emirates Water and Electricity Company and is expected to become one of the world’s largest renewable energy infrastructure developments.
The large-scale RTC project will combine 5.2GW of solar photovoltaic generation capacity with a 19GWh battery energy storage system to provide continuous clean electricity throughout the day and night. Under the agreement, Sungrow will deliver 7.5GWh of its PowerTitan 3.0 energy storage systems along with 2.6GW of PV inverter technology to improve operational reliability and energy efficiency.
The project is designed to support growing electricity demand across industrial facilities, commercial operations, residential communities, and digital infrastructure in the UAE. By integrating large-scale solar power with advanced battery storage, the initiative aims to provide uninterrupted renewable energy while reducing dependence on traditional fossil-fuel-based power generation.
According to the companies, the project will deploy more than 1,000 liquid-cooled PowerTitan 3.0 battery systems capable of delivering stable and flexible renewable energy. The storage systems are engineered to operate on an optimized cycle involving eight hours of charging and sixteen hours of discharge, helping ensure continuous power delivery and stronger grid stability.
Sungrow’s latest energy storage platform also features a fully liquid-cooled Silicon Carbide Power Conversion System with a reported efficiency of up to 99.3 percent and a system round-trip efficiency of 90 percent. The technology has been specifically designed for harsh climate conditions and can operate at temperatures reaching 55 degrees Celsius without performance reduction, making it suitable for the UAE’s desert environment.
The Abu Dhabi RTC project is expected to become operational in 2027 and is being positioned as a global benchmark for 24/7 renewable energy delivery. Industry experts believe the project could redefine large-scale renewable power generation by demonstrating how solar and battery storage can together provide reliable baseload electricity on a gigawatt scale.
