Sungrow's Major Launch of PowerTitan 3.0 Enhances Energy Storage Solutions in Europe
Sungrow, a prominent global leader in photovoltaic inverters and energy storage systems, introduced groundbreaking technologies at its recent PV ESS Summit held on January 28, 2026, in Madrid. The spotlight was on its utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS), named PowerTitan 3.0, and a unique Single-Platform Design aimed at advancing DC-Coupled PV-ESS solutions. This crucial event gathered over 300 industry professionals, including esteemed representatives from SolarPower Europe, TÜV, and DEKRA, all concentrating on the critical roles that integrated PV and ESS technologies play in advancing the energy transition.
James Li, Vice President of Sungrow Europe for ESS, emphasized the company’s unwavering commitment to the European market amidst the event's proceedings. Sungrow has invested significantly in a robust service framework within Europe, featuring a team of over 280 engineers, five repair workshops, and 14 service warehouses. The company plans to amplify its presence with strategic alliances and innovations designed to propel the continent's green energy efforts further.
The summit highlighted a significant statistic from SolarPower Europe indicating that the cumulative installed PV capacity in the EU reached 406 GW in 2025. However, alongside this growth comes challenges such as grid congestion and the pressing need for flexible power demand, expected to surge up to 40% by 2030. This rising demand underlines the necessity for extensive deployment of large-scale BESS solutions.
In 2025 alone, more than 26 GWh of BESS installations were recorded, marking a pivotal transition where utility-scale systems outnumbered residential ones for the first time. SolarPower Europe anticipates a remarkable annual growth rate of 30% in BESS deployment, with projections to reach 412 GWh by 2030.
Introducing the PowerTitan 3.0
Designed to tackle the challenges presented by modern energy systems, PowerTitan 3.0 incorporates innovative features within a single 20-foot container. It offers a configuration capable of delivering a power capacity of 1.78 MW and a massive 7.14 MWh of energy storage, with an operational capability of four hours—an impressive output of 7.2 MW/28.5 MWh achievable in one block setup. The system utilizes high-capacity stacked battery cells rated at 600Ah+, suitable for discharge durations between two to eight hours and boasting a system-level round-trip efficiency (RTE) of 92%.
The factory pre-installed system functions with an AC block design, allowing rapid deployment. This significant advancement enables a one GWh project to be operational in a mere 12 days while maintaining performance in extreme conditions, tolerating low temperatures down to -40°C, making it ideal for challenging environments such as those found in Nordic and Alpine regions.
Single-Platform Design for DC-Coupled PV-ESS
Alongside PowerTitan 3.0, Sungrow unveiled its Single-Platform Design for DC-Coupled PV-ESS solutions. This approach features a modular inverter system, enhancing overall efficiency with an interface specifically designed for energy storage. It includes a built-in DC/DC module and an innovative PV-ESS Synergy Management System. This design not only extends discharge durations but also allows for flexible power ratios, optimizing costs for end-users.
Sungrow's efforts to create effective energy arbitrage capitalize on varying peak and valley tariffs while facilitating better grid integration through optimized energy dispatch. To date, their DC-coupled solution has been implemented in over 90 projects across more than ten countries.
Pioneering Grid-Forming Technologies
Among significant advancements unveiled at the summit was the grid-forming technology, which has emerged as a crucial factor in developing robust and stable power systems. Dr. Henry Liu, Director of Sungrow’s Grid Solution Department, elaborated on how these technologies help address changing EU standards while supporting grids rich in renewable energy sources. Sungrow provided insights into its capabilities: voltage and frequency stabilization, oscillation damping, and significant grid-support functions. Some of these features were validated in significant projects like the world’s largest grid-forming energy storage plant, which stands at 7.8 GWh in Saudi Arabia.
Sungrow’s Commitment to the European Market
Active in Europe since 2011, Sungrow boasts a considerable regional infrastructure, including 25 local offices, two R&D centers, and extensive warehouse facilities. Recent flagship projects include the largest BESS systems of mainland Europe in Belgium with a capacity of 800 MWh and several notable projects across the UK, Finland, and Turkey, solidifying Sungrow's commitment to advancing renewable technology within the region.
As a forerunner in sustainable power solutions for over 29 years, Sungrow continues to innovate with widespread applications of its technology. With 870 GW of power electronic converters installed worldwide and recognition as the most bankable PV inverter and energy storage company by BloombergNEF, Sungrow remains dedicated to the global transition towards a sustainable energy future.
