KS-certified Commercial PV Inverters

The commercial PV inverter solutions covering SG33CX,SG50CX,SG110CX,made local industry headlines as the full range of the portfolio received KS certificates this June which is the world's first-ever achievement. Equipped with multiple MPPTs,the 1000Vdc solutions are compatible with bi-facial modules and enableoptimal yields in complex terrains. They're also resilient toharsh conditions armed with an IP66 and C5 corrosion class protection. Given the high performance,over 2.5 GW of Sungrow commercial inverters were shipped across the globe and the amount is expected to mount in 2020.

SG250HX,The World's Most Powerful 1500Vdc String Inverter

The show highlights the world's most powerful 1500Vdc string inverter SG250HX,KS-certified as well,which is ideal for small- and medium-scale solar plants. The SG250HX features 12 MPPTs with maximum efficiency of 99% and enables flexible block design. Compatible with bi-facial modules and tracking systems,the solution can significantly maximize ROI for a PV project. Particularly with IP66 and C5 protection together with the smart forced air-cooling technology,the inverter can operate without derating even when the temperature is surging to 50 degrees Celsius.

SG3125HV-30,A Latest 1500Vdc Outdoor Central Inverter

The latest 1500Vdc outdoor central inverter SG3125HV-30 on display features three-level topology technology and the maximum inverter efficiency reaching 99%. It is designed with DC/AC ratio up to 1.8,enabling cost-saving on Balance of System (BoS) at large. The inverter relies on temperature-controlled forced air-cooling technology,integrated zone monitoringfor online analysis and troubleshooting.It is compatible with the DC-coupling energy storage system,enabling 60% of the rated power charge from grid.
