At Sigenergy Day Europe 2026 which gathered nearly 400 global investors, EPCs and industry experts in Stuttgart, Sigenergy highlighted a landmark 11.6 MWp photovoltaic (PV) and 20 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Weissach im Tal, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Developed in strategic partnership with PV specialist Arausol GmbH and European distributor Memodo, Solarpark Pfaffenklinge combines decentralized battery architecture, natural DC coupling, and AI-driven energy management to maximize asset value.

The project deploys 1,660 Sigenergy battery modules, each with a 12 kilowatt-hour (kWh) capacity, establishing a highly flexible, decentralized storage footprint that replaces traditional containerized battery enclosures. 80 hybrid inverters, each with 100kW AC capacity, are installed alongside the battery modules. Sigenergy also provides 2 units of medium-voltage transformer (MVT) stations equipped with pre-installed low-voltage connections.

Rather than concentrating storage capacity into centralized, high-tonnage BESS containers, Sigenergy’s modular SigenStack units are installed right under the PV modules mounted on Arausol’s ground-mount racking system. This plug-and-play architecture minimizes heavy field wiring, eliminates crane requirements during placement, and reduces site civil engineering. Furthermore, the decentralized footprint avoids extensive concrete foundations, preventing soil sealing across the installation site.

The modular architecture enabled exceptionally fast execution, completing site construction in 20 days and grid commissioning in 2 hours. Supporting flexible back-of-string or side-of-string mounting, the system allows project developers to match storage capacity precisely to site specifications while reducing capital expenditure (CAPEX) and site complexity.

Multi-Layer Thermal Safety and AFCI Protection
As utility-scale storage facilities expand, comprehensive safety architecture remains central to asset engineering.
Article content
Sigenergy’s solution integrates multi-tiered hardware and software protection mechanisms. System safety features include the pack-level safety isolation, full-coverage thermal sensing, and dedicated internal fire suppression within each 12 kWh battery module. Each pack is further equipped with smoke sensors, decompression valves, aerogel heat isolation, and high-temperature insulation barriers to prevent thermal propagation across neighboring modules. Super AFCI arc-fault protection has also extended up to 600 meters, providing further safety to the whole project.
