Ingeteam is contributing its advanced technology to the Maryvale solar and energy storage project in eastern Australia, contributing to the nation’s decarbonisation efforts.
Owned by Gentari, the project is expected to commence operations in the second quarter (Q2) of 2027.

The hybrid project will feature 243 megawatts peak (MWp) of photovoltaic (PV) direct current (DC) paired with a 172MW/2.4h lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage system (BESS).
Ingeteam’s solution for the project includes central inverters integrated with modular DC-DC storage converters that enhance energy availability via battery management at the rack level.
The company will supply 32 power stations, comprising 61 central PV inverters and 488 units of 430kW DC-DC storage converters, along with a plant controller, which can manage 400,000 PV panels and the 122 battery containers distributed across the site.
The PV panels are connected via DC mode to the batteries and are charged directly from solar panels without alternating current (AC) to DC conversion losses. This enables storing excess daytime energy for use during high-demand evening hours.

Ingeteam 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.”
Gentari has issued a notice to proceed to PCL Construction’s Solar District (PCL Solar) to begin engineering, procurement and construction works for the project.
Maryvale will produce more than 520 gigawatt hours (GWh) of clean energy annually, sufficient for 82,000 Australian households, and will decrease carbon emissions by up to 412,000t.
The project will include a maximum export capacity of up to 172MW into Australia’s National Electricity Market and import capabilities of 91MW. It has secured a long-term energy storage agreement from AEMO Services.
In April, 2025 Ingeteam secured two contracts with European Energy to provide its technology for solar projects in Australia. Both projects are anticipated to begin operations by 2026, generating 255GWh annually.
