Sungrow's Groundbreaking Certification in Germany

Sungrow, renowned for its innovative photovoltaic inverters and energy storage systems, has reached a remarkable milestone in the energy sector. The company's SC210HX series Power Conditioning Systems (PCS) have recently secured the world’s first VDE-FNN prototype certificate specifically for inertia systems in Germany, a significant achievement recognized on a global scale.

This achievement is paramount as it allows the PowerTitan energy storage systems equipped with SC210HX PCS to dramatically expedite connection to the grid. With reduced risks regarding project acceptance and accelerated access to Germany’s new inertia market within European energy systems, Sungrow is poised to enhance the competitiveness of energy storage projects significantly, particularly in terms of financing.

The VDE-FNN certification framework, developed by the VDE (Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik) organization, establishes comprehensive requirements for integration into medium- and high-voltage networks. The framework is widely acknowledged among European network operators, developers, and financial institutions, standing as a critical benchmark for evaluating compliance, reliability, and network support capabilities of energy storage projects.

Equipped with Sungrow’s proprietary grid-forming cell technology, the SC210HX PCS offers exceptional adaptability and stable grid support. The system is capable of independently accepting or delivering active and reactive power to meet network demand in various scenarios. This includes frequency regulation, voltage control, and emergency power supply features.

Particularly in weak grids with high renewable energy proportions, the inverter maintains voltage source characteristics and quickly injects dynamic reactive power during short-circuit faults, proving essential in maintaining grid stability. Furthermore, the system can establish a power grid without external synchronization, supporting black-start and island operation capabilities to effectively address connection challenges for remote energy storage installations and off-grid projects.

Sungrow’s successful completion of the stringent VDE-FNN certification process underscores the reliability of its hardware, proprietary regulation algorithms, and grid-forming capabilities, confirming compliance with the strictest German grid standards. This certification not only affirms Sungrow's technical leadership in advanced energy storage and grid support solutions but also delivers tangible economic value for project developers.

As European market standards continue to tighten, leading investment institutions and lending banks are leveraging the TÜV Rheinland VDE certification as a central metric for evaluating project compliance and reliability. This significant certification facilitates the reduction of grid connection timelines, helping project developers avoid delays during acceptance and comply with the latest European access rules for inertia-based energy storage.

In conclusion, based on its comprehensive range of VDE-compliant, grid-forming energy storage products, Sungrow is committed to further deepening its expertise in the European energy transition, promising safer, grid-friendly, and lucrative energy storage solutions for clients globally.
