Smartersolar chose SMA inverters and JinkoSolar PV Modules for the 3MW system atop the PepsiCo bottling plant. The array is expected to generate approximately 4,250,000 kWh of solar power per year and offset 16% of the manufacturing facility’s energy consumption.
The rooftop PV system comprises 98 SMA Sunny Tripower 24000TL-US inverters and 11,702 JinkoSolar PV modules. (related post) It is owned and installed by Embotelladora de Sula, S.A. (EMSULA).
