Sungrow has hosted the 2025 edition of its Global Renewable Energy Summit (GRES), bringing together experts, partners and stakeholders to explore the cutting-edge developments shaping the renewable energy industry.
Under the event’s theme of “Innovation that Inspires Sustainability,” Sungrow VP Jack Gu commented: “Innovation is in our DNA. It drives our breakthroughs, inspires our solutions, and defines our future.” The company went on to launch its latest innovations in the solar and storage sectors, along with an industry-leading white paper on grid-forming technologies.
A highlight was the 1+X 2.0 modular inverter, tailored for utility-scale applications. The product provides increased modularity compared to its predecessor, with a more scalable block design from 800kW to 9.6MW. It enables stable operation without derating at temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius and boasts AI-driven fault detection and advanced grid-forming capabilities.
Also on display was the company’s PowerStack 255CS, a liquid-cooled energy storage system for commercial & industrial (C&I) markets. Equipped with advanced 314Ah battery cells, it offers flexible power capacities—257kWh (2-hour system) or 514kWh (4-hour system)—along with over 90% round-trip efficiency and a 20-year design life. Fully integrated with PCS, EMS and BMS, and certified under stringent global safety standards including UL9540 and NFPA855, the system ensures seamless operation across a wide range of scenarios.
Sungrow also unveiled its Stem Cell Grid-Forming Tech 2.0 White Paper, a milestone in ensuring grid security and reliability from a systematic perspective. As power grids evolve, this groundbreaking technology positions the company at the forefront of a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure.
Key sessions during the event covered a range of energy storage topics, including Sungrow’s advancements in grid-forming technology and the impressive PowerTitan 2.0 large-scale burn test, showcasing the latest developments in BESS safety.
As the demand for clean, decentralized energy grows, distributed generation systems—typically installed close to the point of use—are gaining momentum worldwide. These systems provide efficient, localized energy solutions that contribute to grid flexibility and energy independence, with Sungrow positioned at the forefront of this transformation, its distributed energy solutions already serving over 4 million residential, commercial and industrial users worldwide.
