TÜV Rheinland testing included the containerised inverter’s ability to effectively operate in both high-and-low temperature environments as well as in harsh humid and desert conditions.
“The product has been launched on the market since the second half of 2013 and used widely in the desert land and the distributed power stations all over the country with good market response, making it become the new benchmark for the industry, ” said Guibiao Zheng, VP of Sungrow Power Supply. “Passing the Rheinland TÜV Certification means that international authorities recognise the design and technology of SG1000TS. It plays a positive role in overseas market development and domestic market status consolidation of our PV system solutions which [are] based on [our] core inverter products.”
According to the company the 1MW containerised central inverter integrates two sets of 500kW inverters as well as power distribution, monitoring and security features and has a footprint of 7 square metres.
