With global solar energy demand seen to rapidly grow this year, Sungrow, the global leading inverter, and energy storage system solution supplier, looks to be at the forefront of the Philippines’ drive toward a clean and renewable energy future.
A study from Bloomberg Intelligence revealed that global demand for solar energy will jump 20% to 30% this year. Furthermore, solar capacity in the Asia Pacific region is also expected to grow by as much as 240 gigawatts (GW).
The Philippines, with a population of 110 million, has been a star performer in Southeast Asia with an economic growth of 6-7 percent in recent years. However, problems such as electricity supply shortages and high prices have long restricted the development of the country’s manufacturing industry.
In addition to utility-scale PV projects, the demand for residential and C&I PV plant construction is rising in the Philippines. Sungrow looks to aid in unlocking the country’s clean energy resources’ full potential through its state-of-the-art inverter solutions.
Sungrow’s SG20RT-P2 residential inverter
For the residential scenario, Sungrow’s newest generation of residential solution SG20RT-P2 is an inverter compatible with higher-power photovoltaic (PV) modules, allowing more energy to be harvested from solar panels.
Furthermore, the inverter is equipped with a Smart IV Curve diagnosis and grid fault record function for reliable operation and maintenance of the solar facility.
As the country’s commercial and industrial market continues to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and at the same time, are looking for more sustainable ways to power their businesses, Sungrow also launched the SG125CX-P2, its newest C&I PV inverter solution. The product comes with a 30A per MPP, intelligent IV curve diagnostics, integrated Type 1+2 DC overvoltage protection, and AFCI arc detection – all of which are optimized for better function and safety of the solar PV system.
To further maximize the solar systems in the Philippines, Sungrow also launched its SP600S smart power optimizer, a module-level power electronics (MLPE) product that is designed to help increase the generation capacity of a solar facility or a rooftop installation with its intelligent shade-proof control technology, and, at the same time, improve PV system safety.
And the SP600S optimizer is perfectly compatible with the residential and C&I inverters from Sungrow, making it a recommended combination to future-proof a solar PV system in complex scenarios.
Under the original Philippine Energy Plan, the Philippine government aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the mix to 35% by 2030, and 50% by 2040. Sungrow is keen on supporting the country’s energy sector to help its renewable energy goal.
“We’ve been contributing to the Philippines market for 10 years. As a key industry pioneer, we embed technical innovation and sustainability at the heart of our business and continue to offer competitive solutions and services to lead the way toward a greener future for the Philippines,” Sungrow Southeast Asia Sales Director, Kevin Guo said.
Sungrow has been a key player in the Philippine energy industry since 2013, consistently offering competitive and innovative solutions that have significantly enhanced the country’s renewable energy portfolio.
“As the country looks to meet its climate targets and transition to a low-carbon economy, the need for innovative and reliable renewable energy solutions has never been greater,” Kevin Guo concluded.
