Sungrow, a global provider of solar and energy storage systems, announced it has secured a cumulative 25 gigawatts (GW) in contracted photovoltaic (PV) inverter orders and 10 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in energy storage systems across Latin America. The milestone was announced during the Intersolar South America exhibition held here from August 26-28.
The company's presence at the trade show highlighted several new products designed for the region, including next-generation microinverters, hybrid inverters, and utility-scale solutions. The introductions are aimed at meeting the rising demand for solar and battery storage technology in Latin America, particularly in Brazil's distributed generation market, where residential and commercial installations are expanding.
Among the new offerings is the S2500S-L microinverter, with a nominal power of 2.5 kilowatts (kW), designed to power up to twelve PV modules. The company also unveiled its new MGRL single-phase hybrid inverters, with power ranges from five to 10 kW, which are compatible with low-voltage batteries. For commercial and industrial (C&I) applications, Sungrow introduced the SG50CX-P2-LV string inverter, which operates on three-phase 220 volt (V) grids, a common standard in Brazil.
In addition to its new products, Sungrow showcased a rapid shutdown solution designed to meet a new Brazilian safety standard (ABNT NBR 17193:2025). This standard requires rooftop PV systems to reduce direct current (DC) voltage to below 35V within 30 seconds during emergencies. The company's system includes a rapid shutdown device and controller box that work with its inverters to quickly de-energize rooftop solar arrays.
For the utility-scale sector, Sungrow debuted its 1+X 2.0 Modular Inverter, featuring a scalable design ranging from 800 kW to 9.6 megawatts (MW). The product has a modular design intended to simplify maintenance and reduce repair times.
The company also highlighted its utility-scale and C&I energy storage systems, including the liquid-cooled PowerTitan 2.0 and PowerStack 255CS. According to the company, these systems are designed to address issues such as rising electricity prices and grid instability, and are suitable for applications ranging from large-scale projects to small businesses seeking to reduce electricity costs.
“Reaching the 25 GW PV and 10 GWh ESS milestone is a testament to Sungrow's deep engagement and strong partnerships in the region,” said Ada Li, vice president of Sungrow Americas.
The expansion of companies like Sungrow in Latin America reflects the broader trend of renewable energy adoption in the region, driven by supportive regulations and economic incentives. The demand for reliable power sources has also accelerated interest in energy storage, which can mitigate the impact of power outages and grid fluctuations.
