Montpellier, France, December 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the global leading inverter solution supplier for renewables, showcased the Company’s state-of-the-art PV and energy storage portfolio at this year’s EnerGaia European Renewable Energy Forum on 18-19 December in France, furthering its commitment to renewable energy and expanding its presence in this Western European solar market.
Due to its sunny climate, France harbors strong potential to produce this carbon-free energy source. The French Multi-Annual Energy Program seeks to double renewable capacity to 113 GW out to 2028, expected to fulfill the ultimate aim of achieving climate neutrality out to 2050, while also ensuring that France upholds its energy independence.
The utility-scale segment is a major driver in the French solar market. Sungrow’s newly-launched 1500V string inverter SG350HX tailored to the utility-scale sector made local industry headlines as it unlocked a new era of string inverters surpassing 300 kW. It features a maximum output power of 352 kW and is highly compatible with 182mm/210mm large-format high-efficiency bifacial modules. In addition, it supports a single big block design and supports a high DC/AC ratio of up to 1.8, an ideal solution for higher yields. With rich features and unparalleled innovation, it guarantees an incomparable return on investment for stakeholders while ensuring compatibility and safety. Other displayed utility-scale solutions include Sungrow’s SG125HX and the classic SG250HX.
Optimized for commercial & industrial space, Sungrow showcased the 33-110kW string inverters. They’re resilient to harsh conditions of different rooftops armed with IP66 and C5 corrosion class protection. Reportedly they are accessible via the Company’s broader distribution channels.
Storage has also become a regular component in the French government’s calls for tenders, as it’s an ideal solution to address the rapid transition to utilizing renewables. Accordingly, Sungrow introduced the latest liquid cooled energy storage system solution which slashes capital and operating expenses due to its pre-assembled and easy installation design. Further, its more effective cell working environment substantially decreases capacity loss. Given the modular DC/DC converter, the battery rack can be fully charged and discharged. Moreover, the system is optimized in safety performance due to its anti-leakage design and an integrated liquid fire extinguishing system.
The Company made its first entry into the French market in 2018 and has built a professional local team offering responsive service. “France is a vital market for Sungrow to expand the global business and Sungrow is boosting efforts to prop up local decarbonization ambitions and growing demands,” commented Eric Magistrello, General Manager of Sungrow France. “Technical innovations are the core of Sungrow, we will continue to work pragmatically to build the product solutions of the future – be it in solar or storage,” he added.
