1600kVA PV Step-Up Compact Substation

Henan GNEE Electric Co., Ltd. is one of the most reliable manufacturers and suppliers of 1600kva pv step-up compact substation in China. If you're going to buy customized 1600kva pv step-up compact substation made in China, welcome to get quotation from our factory. Quality products and reasonable price are available.

 

As industrial and commercial photovoltaic power generation continues to expand globally, reliable and cost-effective grid connection equipment becomes essential for solar power plants.

 

The 1600kVA PV Step-Up Compact Substation developed by GNEE Electric is specifically designed for modern photovoltaic energy systems requiring safe voltage transformation, stable grid connection, and fast onsite deployment.

This integrated box-type photovoltaic substation combines:

• Medium-voltage switchgear
• Step-up transformer
• Low-voltage distribution system
• Protection & monitoring devices

inside a compact modular enclosure, making it ideal for commercial solar plants, rooftop PV systems, and distributed renewable energy projects.

 

It replaces traditional on-site built masonry substations, greatly shortening construction cycle, cutting civil engineering investment, adapting to harsh outdoor operating conditions and enabling intelligent grid connection.

 

 

Expanding PV capacity is one thing – but connecting it to the grid reliably and within budget is where many EPC projects stumble. Tight schedules, soaring civil works costs, and the headache of coordinating multiple suppliers often delay your COD and eat into your ROI.

What if your step‑up substation arrived fully assembled, factory‑tested, and ready to plug in – cutting installation work by over 40%, slashing concrete foundations, and eliminating interface risks – all from a single certified supplier?

Rapid Deployment to Shorten Project Timeline

The whole unit is fully assembled, wired and tested in factory. On-site installation & commissioning workload can be reduced by over 40%. It helps EPC contractors shorten project schedule, accelerate grid connection progress and cut field labor cost, ideal for tight-schedule overseas solar EPC projects.

Minimal Civil Work to Lower Total Investment

Traditional masonry substations require concrete buildings, dedicated cable trenches and complicated field electrical installation. Our compact substation simplifies infrastructure demands significantly, saving large amounts of civil construction budget for solar developers.

 

All-in-One Integration to Reduce Project Interface Risks

Primary power system, secondary protection control system and auxiliary facilities are supplied by one single manufacturer. Unstable connection risks caused by multi-supplier coordination are eliminated, improving overall reliability of the photovoltaic power station.

 

Strong Environmental Adaptability for Global Outdoor Application

Equipped with multi-level anti-corrosion treatment and high IP protection rating. Stable operation supported under high temperature, high humidity, coastal salt fog, desert and other extreme working conditions, matching renewable energy projects across worldwide regions.

 

Intelligent Grid Connection & Low Operation Cost

Support seamless SCADA integration, remote data monitoring and control via IEC 61850 & Modbus protocol. Built-in internal arc protection and intelligent thermal management system ensure safe operation and reduce long-term maintenance expenditure.

 

Compliance with International Electrical Standards

Designed and manufactured following global recognized standards IEC, IEEE and ANSI. Available with CE certification, ISO quality management certificate and SGS factory inspection support, compatible with most international renewable energy grid codes.

 

 

The price of a complete 1600kVA PV Step-Up Compact Substation varies significantly, mainly determined by key internal components and customized specifications.

• Transformer: Oil-immersed transformer offers competitive cost; cast resin dry-type transformer brings higher investment for fire-critical sites.
• Medium voltage switchgear: Economical load break switch solution, or upgraded vacuum circuit breaker / GIS gas-insulated switchgear for enhanced protection.
• Secondary control system: Basic protection unit vs full set SCADA, remote monitoring and multi-protocol communication modules.
• Enclosure & environmental treatment: Standard carbon steel enclosure, or upgraded anti-corrosion stainless steel structure for coastal, desert and high-humidity locations.

 

Based on the 2026 factory market quotation of GNEE Electric, the FOB price of a standard 1600kVA 10.5kV/0.8kV PV Step-Up Compact Substation generally falls within USD 13,800 – USD 32,500. The final quotation of PV compact substation depends on the following factors:

• Single-line electrical diagram
• Voltage and capacity configuration
• Transformer technical requirements
• Protection scheme configuration
• SCADA and communication system demands
• Environmental protection & anti-corrosion grade

 

If detailed engineering drawings are not ready, we can offer preliminary budget quotation based on your basic project parameters. We accept customization of substation capacity, voltage level, internal configuration to match different PV plant requirements.
