Gauss Energia selects SMA Inverters to power up 3 MW Mexican Solar project

SMA announced that Gauss Energía has selected SMA inverters to power up 3 MW of destroyed section of the Aura Solar I project in Mexico.

Aura Solar I is a 30 MW solar plant developed by Gauss Energia. It is currently the largest solar plant in Mexico, delivering solar power directly to a local utility since last year. After suffering damage from a hurricane, a significant portion of Aura Solar I was out of commission. The project rebuild uses 50 Sunny Tripower 60-US inverters, which will be responsible for producing energy for 10% of the total Aura Solar I project. To mitigate any future hurricane-related threats or similar obstacle, the project is being constructed as a fixed structure, rather than using trackers as done previously.

SMA America VP, Andrew Mears said that they are extremely proud to be selected for the rebuilding effort of this facility. Gauss Energía has set the gold standard for utility-scale solar in Mexico and throughout Latin America.

Gauss Energía Business Development Director, David Briseno said that in such a significant project, they can’t afford failure. SMA’s string inverters maximize operational efficiency and provide reliable performance. They are glad to partner with SMA to ensure stability as we rebuild this important section of Aura Solar I.
