Spanish inverter manufacturer Ingeteam has provided 149 of its INGECON SUN 3Power Series C liquid-cooled central PV inverters for the 640 MWdc Parliament Solar project in Waller County, near Houston, Texas.
These inverters were integrated into 80 UL-certified transformer stations, providing a complete turnkey solution for the plant’s energy conversion needs. The project, managed by Parliament Energy, is expected to produce around 1,100GWh of clean electricity annually.

Commissioning of the inverters was conducted from Ingeteam’s Milwaukee facility, highlighting the company’s technical expertise in supporting large-scale solar installations.
The 640MW Parliament Solar Project in Texas, announced in 2023, is backed by venture capital firm EnCap Investments and Swiss multinational Mercuria Energy. German-based solar tracker manufacturer Ideematec joined the project to supply its Horizon L:TEC 1P tracking systems for the site.
“Our market experience, combined with a well-established US subsidiary, has been crucial in securing and executing this project. We hope it marks the first of many collaborations with this client,” said Nohra Nasr, vice president and general manager for Solar PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) in the US, Ingeteam.
To date, Ingeteam has supplied over 6GW of solar inverters and energy storage in the US, a market with strong growth prospects. According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as of January 2024, utility-scale solar surpassed nuclear capacity, accounting for 81.5% of new generation – nearly nine times the combined additions from natural gas and nuclear.
According to SEIA, Texas currently ranks second in US states for total installed solar capacity, with 43,563 MW deployed. Over the next five years, the state is expected to add an additional 40,863 MW, positioning it to overtake California as the nation’s top solar market.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 7-8 October 2025 is our third PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The events in 2023 and 2024 were a sell out success and 2025 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
Returning for its 12th edition, Solar and Storage Finance USA Summit remains the annual event where decision-makers at the forefront of solar and storage projects across the United States and capital converge. Featuring the most active solar and storage transactors, join us for a packed two-days of deal-making, learning and networking.
PV Tech has been running PV ModuleTech Conferences since 2017. PV ModuleTech USA, on 16-17 June 2026, will be our fifth PV ModulelTech conference dedicated to the U.S. utility scale solar sector. The event will gather the key stakeholders from solar developers, solar asset owners and investors, PV manufacturing, policy-making and and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out the PV module supply channels to the U.S. out to 2027 and beyond.
