The product, entirely engineered and designed by Iranian engineers and local experts, simplifies the design and installation of solar power plant equipment and represents a significant step forward in the localization of renewable energy technologies in the country.
Solar power plants require various systems for optimal performance, including energy conversion, protection, control, and power transmission systems. The separate design and installation of these components have added complexity to project execution and increased overall costs.
The integrated solar system (solar power substation) introduced by Iran Transfo addresses these challenges by combining all necessary equipment into a standardized, compact, and pre-engineered structure.
The system is designed to streamline the installation process, reduce project execution time, enhance energy efficiency, and optimize space usage. Key components include an inverter, low-voltage switchgear, transformer, medium-voltage switchgear, and protective equipment. The all-in-one substations are engineered either to connect directly to the medium-voltage grid or to interconnect with each other or a central substation in a modular fashion, allowing their combined capacity to be injected into the power grid.
Mehdi Sadeghi, CEO of Iran Transfo Industrial Group, unveiled the first domestically produced all-in-one transformer system, which converts solar energy into electrical energy for the country’s power grid, and described it as a significant step toward the realization of clean energy and the prevention of foreign currency outflow from the country.
Referring to Iran Transfo’s 58-year history, he said, “This group, which was initially established with foreign investment, has now fully localized all its products.”
He identified the entry into renewable energy and deepening the copper production chain as the two main axes of Iran Transfo Industrial Group’s development.
Sadeghi emphasized, “Iran Transfo, with its design, production, installation, and commissioning of renewable power plants, accounts for 33% of the domestic capacity of this industry.”
He added “Currently, about 10,000 megawatts of renewable power plants are under construction in the country, which will require about 6,000 MVA distribution transformers and 5,000 MVA extra-high voltage transformers annually.”
He announced the company’s readiness to supply the substation for a 1,000 MW power plant and added, “Iran Transfo, in the distribution transformer segment up to 2,500 kVA, has achieved up to 70% foreign currency savings, and in the production of substations and DC boxes, up to 95%.”
According to him, the all-in-one solar system has been introduced for the first time in the country and has an annual production capacity of 250 MW, a move that will eliminate the foreign currency costs associated with purchasing separate imported equipment.
He pointed out the group’s structure and its three specialized companies active in the field of renewable energy, saying that developing this industry alongside meeting a major portion of the domestic market’s demand is a key objective.
Sadeghi invited investors to take advantage of Iran Transfo’s consulting capacity and to trust domestic capabilities by participating in renewable power plant construction projects.
