Chinese solar PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow, which has installed over 120 GW worldwide since June 2020, has announced that its cumulative deliveries to India will exceed 7 GW by the end of 2020. Of the accumulated 7 GW, at least 3 GW were sold in 2020 alone.
This year, the manufacturer secured some large orders in the highly competitive Indian market as a number of tenders and reverse auctions were held at regular intervals to keep the solar project's pipeline robust for years to come.
“Despite many challenges this year, we were able to deliver more than 3 GW inverters in one calendar year. With this resounding number, we have consolidated our position in both the utility and roofing markets in 2020 ”, said Sunil Badesra, Business Head of Sungrow India.
Sunil also emphasized that Sungrow's nationwide service network provides timely and comprehensive support to all customers.
Sungrow attributes the surge in shipments to its latest offerings for both central and string inverters for large utility projects.
Sungrow's deliveries included the 1500 V central inverter solution with 3.125 MW and the 1500 V string inverter SG250HX-IN. The latest commercial series also saw tremendous demand in the thriving distributed roofing market, which resulted in a healthy market share in this price sensitive segment.
Sungrow has a central inverter factory in Bengaluru, Karnataka, to meet local and international demand.
“From the beginning we have produced more than 5 GW PV inverters to serve both the global and local markets and we are seeing increasing growth,” commented Sunil Badesra.
