PowerChina has completed the Cirata floating photovoltaic power plant, a pioneering project in Indonesia that now supplies a quarter of the country's renewable energy production.
POWERCHINA recently completed the installation of photovoltaic (PV) components for the Cirata Floating PV Power Plant in Indonesia, marking the start of the final debugging and grid connection phase. The plant is the largest floating PV power plant in Southeast Asia and the first of its kind to be built by a Chinese company in Indonesia.
PowerChina has completed the construction of the Cirata floating photovoltaic power plant in Indonesia. This marks the commissioning of the largest facility of its kind in Southeast Asia. The plant, with a capacity of 192 megawatts, is located on the Cirata Reservoir in West Java Province.
(Executive editor: Zhu Zeya) Indonesia’s largest land-based photovoltaic plant, designed and constructed by Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina), has been put into operation.
The plant, with a capacity of 192 megawatts, is located on the Cirata Reservoir in West Java Province. It has been supplying power to the national grid since November 2023. The project is a joint venture between Indonesian state-owned utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) and Emirati firm Masdar.

The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
