As the global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, Sungrow successfully hosted an exclusive conference in Madrid on April 2, bringing together industry experts and business leaders to discuss the opportunities for Spain to achieve its ambitious climate and energy targets. The event provided a vital platform to explore the country’s renewable energy opportunities, emphasizing the crucial role of the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) sector and the growing importance of hybrid solutions combining photovoltaic (PV) systems with Energy Storage Systems (ESS). At the same time, as mobility enters a new era with the electrification of vehicles, EV Charging become an increasingly critical topic on the road towards a sustainable future.
Spain’s Renewable Energy Vision and the Role of C&I Projects
Spain has set an ambitious target of reaching 81% renewable electricity generation by 2030, as outlined in its National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC)1. With solar energy playing a pivotal role in this transition, the integration of battery storage is becoming increasingly essential to ensure grid stability, maximize self-consumption, and enhance energy independence.
During the conference, experts highlighted the potential of the C&I sector to accelerate the deployment of clean energy solutions. Businesses are increasingly recognizing the economic and environmental advantages of integrating solar power with storage, reducing dependency on fossil fuels and fluctuating energy prices. Sungrow reaffirmed its commitment to supporting this sector with cutting-edge technology, providing tailored solutions that enhance efficiency, reliability, and long-term savings. As its latest ESS for C&I projects, the PowerStack 200CS, clearly showcases, energy storage can lead to significant ecological and financial benefits, as long as cutting-edge technology, high efficiency, and undisputed safety are combined with a strong team of experts supporting all the phases of such a complex operation, from the design phase and delivery phase, up to the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of the project.
Hybrid Solutions: The Key to a Resilient Energy Future
A major theme of the conference was the critical role of hybrid systems in achieving Spain’s energy transition. Combining PV with ESS allows businesses and energy producers to store excess solar energy, ensuring uninterrupted supply and mitigating grid congestion challenges. This approach not only optimizes energy usage but also supports Spain’s goal of a more decentralized and resilient energy network. Sungrow showcased its comprehensive portfolio of solutions designed to empower businesses and energy developers to implement hybrid energy projects seamlessly and great flexibility. These include PV inverters like the SG350HX-20 string inverter, the SHT range oh hybrid inverters and a range of storage solutions, characterised also for the ease of expandability. At the same time, as part of a fully sustainable ecosystem, Sungrow offers a complete range of AC and DC, EV Chargers, for private, semi-public and public use, as the latest IDC480E, an ultra-fast charger capable of charging up to 8 vehicles at once, making it an ideal solution for fleet operators.
