Overview
- At its Sydney PV & ESS Summit, Sungrow introduced PowerTitan 3.0 for utility storage alongside a single‑platform PV‑plus‑battery design built for large solar plants in high‑renewables markets.
- PowerTitan 3.0 pairs a 1.78 MW power conversion system with 7.14 MWh per 20‑foot container and can scale blocks to 7.2 MW/28.5 MWh, with grid‑forming controls for weak grids and a factory‑built AC block that the company says speeds commissioning.
- Sungrow’s Hybrid PV‑ESS uses DC coupling to tie batteries to the solar side of the plant, removing a separate PCS and MV station, cutting conversion steps from six to four, and delivering a reported 3–5% efficiency gain with up to 8 hours of discharge and a DC/AC ratio up to 2.0.
- Sungrow and TÜV Rheinland released a joint white paper that lays out a full‑lifecycle storage safety framework from cell design through decommissioning, with TÜV providing independent endorsement of the approach.
- Sungrow signed a 1 GWh storage portfolio with Romania’s ENEVO Group, including a 440 MWh first phase due before December 2026, and expanded its Africa footprint with a 1,155 MWh C&I partnership in South Africa and a solutions showcase in Johannesburg.
