Owned by Gentari, the Maryvale solar project is expected to commence operations in Q2 2027.
The project incorporates Ingeteam’s solution, which includes 32 power stations with 61 central PV inverters, 488 units of 430kW DC-DC storage converters, and a plant controller managing around 400,000 PV panels and 122 battery containers. The system connects PV panels directly to batteries in DC mode, avoiding losses from AC-to-DC conversion. This enables storage of surplus daytime solar energy for use during peak evening demand, improving grid reliability and energy efficiency.
Ingeteam’s solar PV and BESS business director, Ana Goyén, stated: “We are delighted to continue contributing our technology to decarbonising the energy mix of the Australian National Electricity Market.” The project’s design ensures efficient delivery of clean electricity during high-demand periods.
Gentari has contracted PCL Construction’s Solar District (PCL Solar) for the project’s engineering, procurement, and construction. Maryvale will have a maximum export capacity of 172MW to Australia’s National Electricity Market and an import capacity of 91MW, supported by a long-term energy storage agreement with AEMO Services. The project is projected to produce over 520 gigawatt hours (GWh) of clean energy annually, enough to power approximately 82,000 Australian households and reduce carbon emissions by up to 412,000 tons.
In April 2025, Ingeteam secured contracts with European Energy for two additional solar projects in Australia, set to commence operations by 2026 and generate 255 GWh annually. The Maryvale project bolsters Australia’s renewable energy infrastructure, driving economic growth through job creation and sustainable energy production. By integrating cutting-edge solar and storage technologies, it supports the nation’s commitment to a cleaner energy future.
