JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. has successfully commissioned 21.6 MWh of energy storage systems supplied to Distributed Energy Infrastructure (DEI). This milestone advances clean, reliable, and dispatchable energy in Massachusetts under the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) program.
The three energy storage systems, developed and built by DEI, are now fully operational and delivering key grid services while enhancing the performance and resilience of solar assets across the state. Each installation incorporates a combination of DC and AC coupled configurations, designed to optimize operational flexibility and system performance.
JinkoSolar’s U.S.-based energy storage engineering team played a critical role in system design and integration, ensuring compatibility with a variety of Power Conditioning Systems (PCS) and Energy Management Systems (EMS). The collaboration highlights JinkoSolar’s commitment to delivering high-performance, market-adaptive storage solutions that meet the demands of a transitioning energy landscape.
“Collaborating with DEI on these projects has been a great opportunity to showcase the value of JinkoSolar’s U.S. energy storage solutions and our local engineering expertise,” said Jeff Juger, Deputy General Manager and Head of ESS at JinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc. “We are proud to support DEI’s fully integrated project delivery model and shared vision of accelerating the transition to a cleaner grid.”
“These projects represent a key milestone in DEI’s mission to bring resilient, clean energy solutions to the communities we serve,” said Sean Harrington, CEO and Founder of Distributed Energy Infrastructure. “We chose JinkoSolar to supply the batteries for this portfolio due to their strong U.S.-based service team, more than 15 years of experience supporting similar projects, and their proven, robust technology. Working directly with JinkoSolar’s U.S.commissioning team helped us streamline system integration and accelerate time to operation — ensuring our clients received the full benefit of a tightly managed, end-to-end solution.”
DEI led the project execution end-to-end, including development support, procurement, system design, construction, and commissioning. This integrated approach enabled efficient deployment and minimized typical risks and delays, particularly during the construction and commissioning phases.
