Sungrow's strong performance in South Africa and Kenya is rooted in deep market understanding, reliable technology, and commitment to local engagement. In the utility-scale sector, Sungrow supplied South Africa's first wind-solar-storage integrated virtual power plant, featuring 264MWh PowerTitan liquid-cooled energy storage system. Additionally, major solar-plus-storage projects — including a 150MW PV + 92MW/242MWh ESS installation — deploying 1+X modular inverters and PowerTitan ESS product, engineered to enhance grid stability and alleviate load-shedding. For the standalone PV project, the company also supplied 256MW of utility-scale inverters in partnership with the SOLA Group, further reinforcing its leadership in large-scale deployments.
Beyond utility-scale projects, Sungrow has executed numerous high-impact commercial, industrial, and residential installations, showcasing its versatility and commitment to accelerating clean energy adoption across all segments.
"These awards validate Sungrow's ability to provide high-performance, climate-resilient inverters and storage systems tailored for Africa. With local training, warehousing, and technical support, we're not just selling products but building capacity and long-term partnerships," adds Eric Song.
Sungrow's growth in Africa aligns with its broader regional strategy: to expand its footprint, foster decentralized energy adoption, and drive collaborative innovation. The company is actively pursuing new partnerships, scaling operations in key Pan-African regions, and collaborating with governments and stakeholders to fast-track solar-plus-storage solutions.
"This milestone underscores our long-term commitment to Africa's energy transition. We are proud to support governments, businesses, and communities in building a cleaner, more resilient future. We welcome partners across the continent to join us in delivering sustainable, bankable energy solutions that meet Africa's growing demand," concludes Eric Song.
