Sungrow to Expand its India Manufacturing Capacity to 10 GW in 2021

With an aim to be part of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat mission, Sungrow has decided to expand its India factory by more than 3 times and achieve an annual production of 10 GW by 2021, making it the largest manufacturing base in Indian solar sector.

The move came on the back of the success of the company’s local manufacturing unit in last three years.

The company has been a strong player in the Indian solar market for more than seven years since its entry into the market. Recently, it has also crossed 8 GW of PV inverter shipment to India, and thereby almost doubling its shipment to the country in a span of only one year. Sungrow was one of early movers to bring its manufacturing capabilities into India. The company’s India factory will have a total area of 1,90,000 sqft and it will create an opportunity for direct and indirect employment for over 300 people in India.

So far, it has produced more than 10,000 PV inverters, a combination of over 30 different models in both Central and String category, from India factory to cater to the local and global demand.

Commenting on India manufacturing plans, Sunil Badesra, Sungrow, Director-India, said “India factory will be one of the cornerstones in Sungrow’s global strategy to provide the technologically advanced solutions in PV Inverter and ESS to a wide spectrum of customers in coming times. Our consistent efforts have been to produce competitive solutions locally and ship globally.”

The company’s comprehensive solution of products, technical support and service has given it a remarkable market share in India in Utility and C&I market. Buoyed by the success of its residential products in other key regions such as Australia and Europe, it also launched the latest RT series for Indian residential market.

The new residential 3 phase inverters come in various capacities from 5kW to 20kW. These are featured with cutting edge technologies such as Smart IV Scan and Real-time monitoring for quick fault location and troubleshooting, a wide MPPT voltage range (160V-1000V) translating to higher system yield and a fully compliant built-in DC Switch enabling easier installation and huge cost-savings.

“The India factory will not only be a technological and manufacturing hub, it will also be an important place for skill building, training and job creation for local youths,” said Badesra.
