A 585 MW solar photovoltaic power plant with integrated battery storage in the Municipality of Cheshinovo-Obleshevo, North Macedonia.
Balkan Solar Group is a North Macedonian energy company established to develop, build and operate one of the largest renewable energy projects in Southeast Europe. Headquartered in Kochani, the company's sole registered activity is electricity production (NACE 35.11).
The company was purpose-formed for the Sokolarci photovoltaic power plant and battery energy storage system. The land is privately owned and designated for surface solar and photovoltaic plants under national legislation.
Balkan Solar Group operates with a commitment to verified data, engineering rigour and international standards — positioning the project as a bankable, world-class renewable development.
A grid-tied solar + storage development engineered to international standards, combining bifacial N-type modules with utility-scale lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries.
The plant is designed around proven, high-efficiency technology from leading global manufacturers, selected for performance, longevity and bankability.
Trina Solar Vertex N bifacial, N-type TOPCon monocrystalline modules — high yield and excellent low-light performance.
Sungrow SG350HX multi-MPPT string inverters for 1500 Vdc systems, delivering up to 99% peak efficiency across the array.
CATL TENER LFP battery containers paired with Sungrow power conversion systems — enabling arbitrage and ancillary grid services.
A 400/110/35 kV substation provides strong grid evacuation and headroom for future expansion, with preliminary connection consent from transmission operator MEPSO.
The project is located near the village of Sokolarci, about 10 km from the city of Kochani, within the Municipality of Cheshinovo-Obleshevo. The site benefits from high solar irradiation and favourable, gently sloping terrain — ideal conditions for utility-scale photovoltaics.
At full output, Sokolarci will deliver renewable electricity at a scale that meaningfully supports the region's energy transition and grid stability.
