Sungrow Unveiled the World’s First 1500V String Inverter at AsiaSolar 2016

Sungrow, the world’s leading PV inverter manufacturer, officially released the world’s first 1500V string inverter, the SG80HV, at the AsiaSolar 2016 solar tradeshow in August.
The SG80HV has a power output of 80KW rated at 1500VDC. With a 2.5MW PV power block design, DC side cabling costs can be reduced by 30%. Sungrow’s patented five-level topology design enables SG80HV to lift the maximum efficiency up to over 99%, even at a 1500VDC voltage rating. Also, SG80HV is able to operate at 1.1 times overload in temperatures as high as 45 degrees centigrade. And the SG80HV is capable of avoiding power losses caused by temperature derating with its class-leading cooling system. At a 1500VDC rating, the SG80HV is also able to reduce balance of system costs in addition to the high power generation yield it offers.
The SG80HV is designed with a next-generation film capacitor designed to prolong the lifetime of the inverter. Its patented PID protection and repair function enable SG80HV to work stably. In addition, the inverter’s power factor can be continuously adjusted from 0.9 lagging to 0.9 leading when it is operating at full active power with the support of stronger reactive power.
“1500V solar systems are expected to dramatically reduce system costs and improve power generation efficiency. The solar industry has long demanded a 1500V string inverter, and Sungrow surprised many with our release of the SG80HV, developed by our global-leading R&D team. As the world’s first 1500V string inverter, SG80HV is the pinnacle of solar inverter technology, and we hope it will encourage further industry growth by increasing PV plant ROI.” exclaimed Dr David Zhao, Senior Vice President of Sungrow.

GCL-SI Named Tier 1 PV Manufacturer by Bloomberg New Energy Finance

GCL System Integration Technology, a subsidiary of the world’s leading energy group GCL, has been named in the Tier 1 list of Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s (BNEF), ranking of photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturers. On the list, GCL-SI is ranked No. 2 based on its annual solar module capacity.
BNEF’s tiering system categorizes hundreds of solar module manufacturers into three tiers based on bankability — the ability of solar product-related projects to acquire non-recourse debt financing from banks.
Tier 1 manufacturers have to prove they are able to provide own-brand, self-made products to five different projects that are non-recourse financed by five different (non-development) banks. BNEF also only considers projects that have over 1.5 MW capacity.
Featuring on BNEF’s tiering system demonstrates that GCL-SI fulfills all its criteria.
Mr. Shu Hua, president of GCL-SI, said, "GCL-SI has grown quickly since its establishment. In less than a year, we have developed international projects that reach BNEF standards. It is a rare case in the solar industry."
The "Tier 1" list has been widely used in manufacturing forecasts and preliminary competitor analysis as an important method to distinguish the major, bankable suppliers in the PV industry. It is reviewed and updated every quarter with new information added to BNEF’s database.
"With GCL-SI on the Tier 1 list, it signifies our ability to secure debt financing from banks and to provide quality PV module products," added Mr. Shu. "It will also bring our company more opportunities to explore the market and allow us to contribute more to global green energy."
