TOKYO, March 17, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Sungrow, the global leading inverter and energy storage system solution

supplier, announced that the Company signed the Memorandum of Understanding

(MOU) with Amp Co., Ltd., one of Japan's largest renewable energy Independent

Power Producers (IPP) at PV Expo in Japan during March 15-17. The Company

displayed diversified solar and storage applications tailored to various

Japanese applications; thus, fueling the transition to a low carbon economy and

overshooting Japan's 2050 carbon neutrality target.

Cutting-edge inverter solutions for solar projects

Japan sees a large number of utility-scale solar plants being built in

mountainous areas. Sungrow offers the 1+X Modular Inverter tailored to this

application, which is an innovation combining the advantages of both central

and string inverters. The product can be configured up to 8.8 MW with 1.1 MW

modular capacity and one MPPT for each unit, making the plant design

unprecedentedly flexible and easier for operation and maintenance (O&M),

especially for hilly terrains.

Optimized to address the Japanese growing demands for distributed PV plants,

Sungrow offers a broad product portfolio including the 1500V string inverter

SG125HX-JP(https://ja.sungrowpower.com/productDetail/727). The product which is

rated at 125 kW streamlines the configuration and maximizes the LCOE

significantly.

A comprehensive ESS portfolio for diversified installations

The energy storage system (ESS) is an ideal solution to tackle the issue of the

current rising electricity price and power failure in Japan. Sungrow offers a

comprehensive ESS portfolio for utility-scale, commercial & industrial, and

residential energy storage applications in Japan.

Japan's utility-scale energy storage market holds great potential, especially

for the demand for frequency regulation. Sungrow offers its liquid cooled ESS

PowerTitan tailored to this market. Through liquid cooled thermal management,

the system has a superior lifespan. The DC-DC controller can charge and

discharge battery racks individually, increasing the overall system

performance. Thus far, Sungrow already signed nine gigawatt hours of orders

with PowerTitan globally.

Japan has an economically beneficial environment and a relatively matured

residential solar-plus-storage market. Sungrow's residential Hybrid and Battery

Solution comprises the single-phase hybrid inverter SH5.5RS-JP and the high

voltage SBR battery, featuring higher yields, simplicity, enhanced safety, and

intelligent O&M. The solution enables seamless switch to the off-grid mode

during power outages due to natural disasters like typhoons and earthquakes.

All of the Sungrow's solutions can be monitored and managed via the Company's

iSolarCloud platform.

"We're ready to embrace increasing opportunities and challenges in the Japanese

market, expanding our presence and providing cutting-edge products and

localized services to facilitate the energy transition," said Michael Zhang,

Country Manager of Sungrow Japan. The company has spent years in Japan and was

involved in many local solar and energy storage projects, such as the 100 MWp

Azuma Kofuji solar project, and the 21 MWh DC-coupling solar-plus-storage in

Hokkaido, Japan.
