London, the UK – March 31, 2025 – Sungrow, a global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, proudly announces the launch at the Solar & Storage Live London (2nd & 3rd of April, ExCel), of its latest Commercial & Industrial (C&I) PV inverter range, now fully compatible with optimizers. This new product line further enhances the performance and safety of PV projects, ensuring maximum efficiency and full compliance with UK safety regulations.
Maximizing Performance and Safety with Module-Level Optimization
The newly introduced C&I PV inverters feature module-level optimization, ensuring that PV modules operate at their peak performance under varying environmental conditions. By utilizing optimizers, energy yield is maximized, even in cases of shading or mismatched modules, significantly improving overall system efficiency. As safety remains a top priority for Sungrow, the new C&I inverters comply with the highest industry safety requirements, including NEC 2017 and 2020 standards for module-level rapid shutdown. This feature ensures that, in case of an emergency, PV systems can be swiftly de-energized, reducing potential hazards and enhancing overall system safety.
This feature further enhance the high level of safety that Sungrow’s C&I inverters provide, as they are coming equipped with integrated Type I+II DC and Type II AC Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), offering comprehensive defense against excessive electrical voltages and impulse currents. These surges, often caused by lightning strikes or grid-switching operations, can lead to costly system failures. By incorporating high-quality SPDs, Sungrow’s inverters provide superior protection, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Sungrow ensures that all its C&I inverters comply with the most rigorous safety regulations, including BS EN 61643-11 and 61643-31 standards for Type I+II DC SPDs. This unwavering commitment to safety guarantees that PV installations are fully protected against electrical surges and system malfunctions.
Cost and Time Savings for Installers
The integration of SPDs within Sungrow’s inverters eliminates the need for external surge protection devices and complex wiring, simplifying the installation process and reducing overall project costs. The dual protection on the DC side ensures that additional external surge protection is unnecessary, delivering both financial and logistical advantages to PV project developers and installers. At the same time, Sungrow’s optimizers our designed to provide easy and trouble free installation and commissioning, further reducing installers’ effort.
Supporting the Growth of the UK C&I Solar Market
The UK’s C&I solar sector continues to experience strong growth, driven by businesses seeking energy independence, reduced electricity costs, and a commitment to sustainability. C&I solar installations play a vital role in the country’s renewable energy transition, contributing significantly to the UK’s net-zero ambitions. Sungrow’s latest range of C&I PV inverters directly supports this movement by providing businesses with efficient, high-performance, and safety-compliant solutions tailored to the UK market’s specific needs.
