Conergy said it had selected Sungrow after a “rigorous” competitive evaluation process, with factors such as transmission efficiency and quick installation time prompting the choice of Sungrow’s inverters, the company said.
The first project under this partnership will be a 5MW PV solar ground-mount system situated in the centre of the United Kingdom. The project will be equipped with Sungrow’s SG60KTL inverters.
“As one of the world’s leading downstream solar companies, with an over 3.4GW pipeline, our target is to work with best-in-class global suppliers to ensure the sustainability and quality of our solar systems,” said Oliver Schweininger, Conergy’s vice president for global purchasing and supply chain. “Sungrow meets our criteria with regard to quality, global customer service, and product diversity to support our global growth in all major PV market segments.”
Sungrow’s CEO, Professor Renxian Cao, said: “With our nearly two decade track record and a service structure that enables quick response times, Sungrow is an ideal partner for Conergy through its global expansion.”
Earlier this week Sungrow said it had seen continued growth in sales of its inverters in markets outside of China.
