Guangzhou Anern Energy Technology Co., Ltd.

Deployment of 80 Sets of 10.2kW EVO Solar Inverters in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Project Overview

This project involved the procurement and deployment of 80 units of 10.2kW EVO solar inverters for a local power operator in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, aiming to improve system efficiency and long-term operational stability.


Project Location: Democratic Republic of the Congo

Project Type: Utility-scale solar power system upgrade

Date: 23 January 2024

Product Configuration: 80 sets of 10.2kW EVO solar inverters

80 Sets of Hybrid Inverters in Democratic Republic of the Congo


Project Background & Requirements

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has one of the lowest electrification rates globally. In recent years, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has placed increasing emphasis on clean and renewable energy development to address power supply stability and rising energy demand,. As part of this transition, a local power company initiated a solar power system upgrade project focused on improving conversion efficiency and reducing ongoing maintenance costs.

Before selecting solar PV equipment, the technical team conducted a structured and detailed evaluation of available solar inverter solutions on the market to understand the performance and price of solar inverters of different brands and models. Key assessment criteria included:

  • Rated power capacity and system compatibility

  • Operational stability under local environmental conditions

  • Long-term maintenance requirements

  • Delivery schedule and supply reliability

  • Brand Awareness & Credibility

Product Evaluation and Procurement Process

During the market research phase, the client compared multiple inverter brands and models. Anern entered the evaluation list based on prior performance data and technical documentation related to the EVO inverter series.

Initial communication was carried out through email and follow-up phone discussions. The client requested detailed information covering:

  • Technical specifications of the 10.2kW EVO inverter

  • System configuration recommendations

  • Price

  • Lead time and logistics arrangements


After technical clarification and internal review, the client confirmed the procurement of 80 sets of 10.2kW EVO solar inverters for this project.

Installation and Commissioning

Upon arrival of the equipment at the project site in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the local engineering team began installation and commissioning without delay.

The installation process was carried out in accordance with the official solar inverter installation guide, including:

  1. Safety Requirements Before Installation

  2. Initial Inspection

  3. Mechanical mounting and grounding

  4. AC input and AC output wiring

  5. PV (solar panel) and battery connection

  6. Communication and monitoring setup

  7. Final Inspection Before Power ON


Commissioning was completed step by step to ensure that all inverters operated within specified electrical and safety parameters.

Operational Performance and Results

After a period of regular operation, the EVO inverters showed stable performance within the solar power generation system.

According to feedback from the project's technical team, the system achieved:

  • Improved overall power generation efficiency

  • Reduced frequency of maintenance

  • Help local power companies get significant economic benefits 


From an operational perspective, the combination of system stability and predictable performance contributed to lower long-term operating costs and improved reliability for the power operator.

Project Significance

Following a period of frequent operation, Anern's EVO series solar inverter met the project objectives. The client praised the system performance and the practical benefits during daily operation.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of solar project was this inverter used for?

This project was part of a utility-oriented solar power system upgrade managed by a local power operator in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.


Q: Why was a 10.2kW inverter selected for this project?

The 10.2kW EVO inverter was selected to match the system's capacity planning and existing PV configuration. 


Q: How many inverters were installed, and were they deployed as a single system?

A total of 80 inverters were procured and installed. The inverters were deployed as part of a coordinated solar generation system rather than as standalone units.


Q: Who carried out the installation and commissioning?

Installation and commissioning were completed by the local engineering team. The team followed the standard installation and commissioning procedures provided with the inverter documentation.


Q: What performance results were observed after installation?

After entering operation, the system showed:

  • Stable inverter operation

  • Improved power conversion efficiency

  • Lower maintenance frequency compared with previous equipment


Q: Is this type of inverter suitable for similar projects in other regions?

Projects with similar requirements—such as utility-scale or commercial solar systems seeking stable operation and predictable maintenance—can reference this case and Anern's EVO series solar inverter as technical example, though site-specific evaluation is always required.
