SOFAR, a provider of all-scenario PV & ESS solutions, drew attention by showcasing its solar and storage solutions at Renewable Energy India (REI), held at Greater Noida from October 4 to 6.

New Inverter Launched

Currently, utility segment contributes to the major growth of the Indian RE industry. The firm unveiled its 350kW inverter PowerMega tailored for utility solar. The inverter made a debut with a seamless integration of profitability, reliability and hassle-free O&M. The inverter characterizes a 1.8 DC/AC ratio and 20A input current per MPPT, with a combability with 182/210mm high-power modules, which ensures lower LCOE and higher yields for customers. Featuring IP66 protection, C5-M anti-corrosion and smart string-level disconnection (SSLD), PowerMega manages to survive harsh environments with a longer service life.

Meanwhile, driven by the optimistic growth outlook in upcoming C&I and small-scale utility installations, SOFAR also introduced its flagship 110K~125KTLX-G4 to the local audience. Catering to the dominant high-power modules technology in the industry, the inverter combines the advantages of 40A*10 MPPTs with ultra-high current, which is expected to enable optimal yields in complex terrains for end-users. In addition, it provides comprehensive protection including AFCI, Type-II SPD and I-V scanning, effectively enhancing system safety and avoiding potential financial loss.

Apart from the latest progress in all-scenario PV portfolio, SOFAR also rolled out its residential ESS solutions with HYD 3000~6000-EP and HYD 5K~20KTL-3PH as the focus.

“Since we entered India in 2016, we’ve established a professional office and local service center in Ahmedabad, Gujarat to better serve our customers. Thanks to the experienced team covering sales and technical support, our shipment to India has reached over 2GW by H1 2023,” said Jesse Lau, Head of SOFAR APAC and MEA Region, “In the future, we’ll keep working together with key partners on technological innovation and service optimization, making SOFAR a competitive brand in the Indian market.”

Recently, SOFAR forged a 100 MW contract of supplying 255KTL-HV utility string inverters for solar plants in Tamil Nadu with Velan Infra.

In 2022, SOFAR’s annual production capacity reached 10 GW for inverters and 1 GWh for batteries. By 2022, SOFAR has shipped 18 GW+ inverters to 100+ countries and regions worldwide.
