Huawei brought in operations and maintenance partners and European customers to share their experience of working with the company’s inverters. German Developer Greencells claimed that it had achieved a higher than expected return on investment as a result of reduced maintenance costs.

Singapore-based installer Sunseap signed a 300MW order on the side-lines of the event.

According to GTM Research, Huawei is now the largest inverter supplier by shipments (second on revenue). Speaking at the time of the March report, Scott Moskowitz, an analyst with GTM Research said: “Huawei has upended the notion that string inverters would be used in place of central inverters in small and progressively larger utility projects. The company has committed to a fully string inverter portfolio, employing their devices in some of the largest solar power plants in the world.”

A recent report by PV Tech’s sister company, Solar Intelligence, found that Huawei is now the largest supplier of inverters for ground mount projects in the UK.
