About Sungrow
Sungrow was founded in 1997 in Hefei, Anhui, China, and is one of the best-known names in solar inverters. Its products range from compact inverters to utility-scale equipment, and it also makes battery energy storage systems.
Beyond solar inverters, the company makes wind-power converters, electric-vehicle drive systems and floating solar systems, and sells its equipment in many countries around the world.
What a inverter does
Panels make direct current (DC) power, but your appliances run on alternating current (AC). The inverter does that conversion, and watches the system so it runs safely and efficiently.
A grid-tied (string) inverter works with the grid. A hybrid inverter adds a battery: it charges the battery from the panels, uses that stored power when the sun is down, and can keep key circuits running during an outage. An off-grid inverter runs a system that has no grid connection at all.
What we look at when choosing
- Whether you want battery backup now, or want to be able to add it later
- Single-phase or three-phase supply at your property
- The size of your loads, and whether the inverter can run them during an outage
- That the inverter and battery are compatible, which we confirm from the manufacturer's documents
- Monitoring, so you can see what your system produces
Final brands, models and specifications are confirmed in your written proposal, based on your site and needs.
