Under the agreements, e-STORAGE, Canadian Solar's subsidiary specializing in the design, manufacturing, and integration of battery energy storage systems, will deliver 188 MWh DC to the Gaia project, located in Navarro County, and the 127 MWh DC Midpoint project in Hill County. Commissioning is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025 for both projects.
Collectively, the two Texas energy storage projects will leverage over 60 SolBank 3.0 battery containers. SolBank 3.0 is e-STORAGE's latest proprietary energy storage solution, featuring high-density lithium-iron-phosphate cells, advanced battery management systems, and innovative liquid cooling thermal management systems. The design of the durable Solbank solution ensures the reliability and security required for large-scale projects in the demanding Texas environment.
Sunraycer's various upcoming projects will deploy up to 2 GWp of Canadian Solar's latest high-efficiency solar modules, with power outputs of up to 725 Wp. These modules offer up to 85% bifaciality and 23.3% module efficiency, along with low power degradation and high energy yield, effectively reducing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and system cost.
David Lillefloren, CEO of Sunraycer, commented, "As Sunraycer continues to grow and evolve its portfolio and pipeline, we are thrilled to be working with Canadian Solar as its preferred solar panel supplier for Sunraycer's entire current portfolio and with e-STORAGE on Sunraycer's initial tranche of energy storage projects.
“Canadian Solar is a proven market leader in renewable energy, and their equipment will help ensure Sunraycer is executing on its mission of delivering solar and battery projects that meet or exceed their performance goals while providing sustainable, clean, and affordable electricity to the grid."
