Jinko ESS has announced the signing of an agreement to deliver a 10 MWh DC-coupled Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Australia. The agreement, which incorporates a supply contract and a Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA), underlines the company’s ability to provide both cutting-edge storage technology and full engineering and integration support.
By coupling the storage system directly to the DC side of the solar PV system, the Jinko solution helps reduce energy conversion losses compared to traditional AC-coupled systems. This improves overall efficiency and ensures that the solar energy generated is stored and utilized more effectively, offering a cost-efficient and scalable solution for utility-scale projects.
The system will feature the SunTera liquid-cooled BESS, known for its thermal stability and long lifecycle. The advanced liquid-cooling technology ensures optimal performance, even in Australia’s extreme climate, and enhances the safety and lifespan of the batteries. Beyond hardware supply, Jinko offers end-to-end integration support, providing engineering, design, and long-term operational optimization to ensure seamless deployment and reliable performance over the course of the project.
“This project highlights Jinko’s commitment to delivering integrated energy storage solutions that enhance the performance of solar systems,” commented VP Anita Li. “Our DC-coupled technology helps maximize efficiency and supports Australia’s renewable energy goals by enabling more effective use of solar power.”
