Sungrow Unveils PowerTitan 3.0 in Madrid

On February 4, 2026, Sungrow, a leading provider of photovoltaic inverters and energy storage systems (ESS), unveiled significant innovations at the PV ESS Summit held in Madrid. Among the highlights was the introduction of the PowerTitan 3.0, a utility-scale energy storage system, as well as a unique DC-coupled architecture for PV-ESS solutions. This event drew over 300 industry partners and experts, including representatives from SolarPower Europe, TÜV, and DEKRA, who gathered to discuss emerging technologies and market trends pivotal for the future of energy.

The Vice President of Sungrow Europe, James Li, emphasized the company's commitment to establishing a robust local service infrastructure to support its strategic focus on the European market. He mentioned, “In 2026, Sungrow continues to regard Europe as a strategic market, underlining our commitment through a strong local service infrastructure.” Currently, Sungrow operates in Europe with over 280 engineers, five repair workshops, 14 service warehouses, and more than 220 service partners. The company plans to further enhance its presence in Europe through strategic partnerships and next-generation technologies to aid the continent's green energy transition.

The Importance of Energy Storage

According to SolarPower Europe (SPE), the cumulative photovoltaic capacity of the EU reached 406 GW as of 2025. The increasing integration of renewable energy into the power system poses several challenges, including network congestion, heightened production limitations, and instances of negative pricing. SPE forecasts that by 2030, the demand for electrical flexibility will increase by 40%, making large-scale deployment of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) essential. In 2025 alone, over 26 GWh of BESS installations were recorded, marking the first instance where utility-scale capacity surpassed that of residential systems. The annual growth rate for BESS is anticipated to average 30% until 2030, culminating in an impressive 412 GWh.

PowerTitan 3.0: A Next-Gen Utility Storage System

Designed to tackle contemporary energy system challenges, the PowerTitan 3.0 features an integrated 20-foot container that packs 1.78 MW of Power Conversion System (PCS) and 7.14 MWh of battery storage. This configuration can sustain 4-hour usage, with a single block achieving 7.2 MW / 28.5 MWh outputs. The system employs stacked battery cells with over 600 Ah, offering flexible storage durations of 2 to 8 hours, enhanced safety, and increased efficiency, with an overall round-trip efficiency (RTE) of 92%.

Moreover, the PowerTitan 3.0 comes pre-installed and commissioned in the factory, streamlining deployment with a block architecture that supports self-configuration and self-testing in under an hour. Remarkably, a project requiring 1 GWh can be rolled out in just 12 days. With operational capabilities in extreme temperatures as low as -40 °C, it is well-suited for regions experiencing Nordic climates, alpine conditions, and coastal areas with high humidity.

A Comprehensive DC-Coupled Solution

In addition to the PowerTitan 3.0, Sungrow introduced a pioneering single-platform architecture for DC-coupled PV-ESS solutions. This architecture includes a modular inverter design with dedicated storage interfaces and internal management systems for PV-ESS synergy. Such integration allows for discharge durations of up to 8 hours and a flexible ESS power ratio of up to 100%, optimizing overall system costs. This system was specifically engineered to meet market demands while enhancing energy arbitrage between peak and off-peak rate discrepancies.

To date, Sungrow has deployed DC-coupled solutions across over 90 projects in more than 10 countries.

Grid-Forming Technology: A Cornerstone for Energy Transition

The advent of grid-forming technology is increasingly recognized as essential for creating resilient and stable power systems. At the summit, Dr. Henry Liu, Sungrow’s Grid Solution Director, underscored the importance of this technology in aiding networks that heavily rely on renewable sources and complying with evolving European standards. Sungrow showcased its core competencies, including:

• - Voltage and frequency support
• - Damping of oscillations
• - Black start capabilities at the gigawatt scale
• - Network resilience enhancement

These capabilities have been validated through landmark projects, such as a 7.8 GWh facility in Saudi Arabia, recognized as the world’s largest grid-forming storage system.

Global Expertise with Local Engagement

Since establishing its presence in Europe in 2011, Sungrow has built a regional network that includes 25 local offices, two R&D centers, 26 warehouses, and three training and service centers, with its European headquarters located in Munich, Germany. Recent flagship projects include one of Continental Europe’s largest BESS plants in Belgium (800 MWh), the Bramley ESS project in the UK (330 MWh), the northernmost PV project in Finland (70 MW), and a 70 MW hybrid project in Turkey.
