Saturday, August 24, 2013: Sungrow Power Supply, a PV supplier based in China has recently announced that it will supply over 150 pieces of its featured string inverter SG30KTL to a PV project in Rajasthan, India. The move is significant, given the fact that there have been dissensions in the power lobby about acquiring equipment from Chinese manufacturers which have been seen as being sub-standard.
Sungrow is the world’s third largest and Asia’s largest PV inverter manufacturer. This project will be the first movement that the company makes in India.
The company has claimed that India is the ideal ground for its products given the fact that the country is blessed with ample solar resources.
Also, the company claims that its SG 30KTL, the largest capacity of wall-mounted inverter in the PV market, was specially designed for harsh environmental conditions with its protection class IP65 and full power-output up to 50 degrees Celsius ambient temperature. The 65kg inverter can be easily handled by two workers during installation without any lifting machines. Because of different advantages, it has been widely installed in Germany, Spain, Malaysia, Australia and many other countries.
“Besides Sungrow’s reliable factory warranty, the after-sales service covered by our local service partner and local inverter exchange pool is also a key factor for the Indian customers’ decision. The Indian PV industry has huge growth potential; it’s the first step to India, a solid milestone for our international cooperation and expansion based on the proven performance of the product and mutual trust from partners for years,” says Raymond Wong, VP of Sungrow, commented, “After 16 years of development, Sungrow now has successfully created its high reputation worldwide and we’re utterly confident in the future expansion of our business opportunities in India, and other developing PV markets as well.”
