REPOWERING
WHAT IS REPOWERING?
Repowering involves the strategic replacement and upgrading of critical infrastructure on a solar farm to significantly enhance its long-term performance and energy output. This process can include the renewal of solar modules, inverters, switchgear, and transformers—depending on the condition of the existing equipment and the recommendations made by our experienced engineering team.
At the heart of many repowering projects lies the solar inverter station, a vital component in any solar power installation. These stations play a crucial role in converting energy efficiently and consistently, directly influencing the overall energy yield and financial viability of the solar asset.
However, as time progresses, the performance of inverter stations tends to decline. Factors such as aging hardware, technological obsolescence, and the growing unavailability of spare parts contribute to reduced efficiency and increased operational risk. Recognising the opportunity to revitalise these systems partway through a solar park’s lifecycle, asset owners are increasingly turning to repowering as a means to future-proof their investments and optimise returns.
Brighter Green Engineering’s repowering services are designed to meet this growing demand. By replacing aging or underperforming inverter stations with state-of-the-art equipment, we deliver improved reliability, higher energy output, and extended operational lifespans for solar assets across diverse portfolios.
BENEFITS OF REPOWERING
OUR REPOWERING EXPERIENCE
With experience in all aspects of solution design, procurement and installation, we provide custom, end-to-end service to replace any inverter on site. We harvest the removed inverters for any re-usable parts.
Currently BGE is involved in a large repowering project across 6 different sites totalling 46MW, of which 4 sites have already been completed.
The work BGE completed involved, but was not limited to:
- Stripping the old existing inverter stations of spares for storage as specified by the client.
- Removal and recycling of the old station.
- Installation of platform extension for the new system, including handrail.
- Installation, testing, and commissioning of the new inverter stations including integration of the SCADA.
- Removal of old auxiliary components, and installation of a new GRP bridging panel.
- G99 commissioning and installation of new meters.
- Full design, and Health & Safety pack.
The result was enhanced efficiency, minimised downtime, extended lifespan of the equipment, and the generation of inverter spares for the rest of the portfolio.
