Our goal is to offer our customers complete solar panel solutions that would help customers reduce their electricity bills and increase their independence from the energy market.
In April 2025, the 45 MW Raba solar power plant constructed by Smartecon for Sunly and connected to Estonia’s 110 kV network, received a Final Acceptance Certificate from transmission system operator Elering. The document confirms that Raba has passed every mandatory grid code compliance test, ranging from power quality to Fault-Ride-Through and is now fully cleared for commercial operation.
The first quarter of 2025 delivered a major disturbance to the Baltic power system.
When pellet producer Ardor switched on its new one-container battery in early February, just days after Estonia left the IPS/UPS grid, the first aim was simply to keep factory operations stable through a turbulent period for the Baltic power system. Since then, the company’s on-site solar park and storage unit have already earned well over 80 000 € in market revenue by combining frequency-restoration services for Elering with carefully timed charge–discharge cycles on Nord Pool.
Metsagrupp OÜ, a forest management company operating across Estonia, is expanding its renewable energy portfolio by upgrading 21 solar parks with battery storage solutions. As part of the project, the existing 50 kW inverters will be replaced with hybrid models, and a two-hour energy storage capability will be added. This will make renewable energy production more stable and controllable, contributing to the strengthening of Estonia’s energy security.
January 2025’s Swedish primary grid report reveals a record low average price for FCR—the fastest, automatically activated frequency market product—at just 6.02 EUR/MW.
On February 15, 2025, the 34 MW Heina PV power plant, constructed by Smartecon and connected to a 110 kV network, made history as the first solar park in Estonia—and potentially the Baltic region—to pass a real-life Fault Ride Through (FRT) test with the transmission system operator (TSO) on its very first attempt. This milestone underscores Smartecon’s exceptional equipment selection and engineering competence, setting a new benchmark in renewable energy.
Sunly, the developer of the Raba solar park, signed a construction contract with Smartecon, as a result of which one of the most powerful solar parks in Estonia will be built in Pärnu County. The capacity of the park will be 45 megawatts.
A power plant of this size is the first time in Estonia where we are testing a type-B connection to the grid from the plant.
This year has been more successful and hard-working for Smartecon than expected. We have installed more than 6,000 solar panels and, in addition to private houses and business solutions, supplemented the portfolio with larger land parks, all on a turnkey basis.
We are ready to engineer the best solution for your business needs!
