SOFAR Eyes UK Market with Introduction of Residential, C&I Storage Solutions

SOFAR, a global provider of all-scenario PV & ESS solutions, displayed it flagship product portfolio with a focus on residential and C&I storage solution at Solar & Storage Live, the United Kingdom’s most prominent renewable energy fair.

Energy storage market is estimated to be scaled in many European countries, considering that it provides system flexibility which is particularly needed in the EU’s electricity system, where the share of renewables is skyrocketing. To address this concern, SOFAR introduced its utility ESS offering, PowerMaster to the audience. Its hybrid cooling system consists of both air and liquid cooling system, which can reduce heat dissipation loss by about 30% and help extend the battery lifetime by 14%.

The modular design capable of expanding single chamber storage capacity up to 3.93 MWh satisfies the diverse needs of capacity expansion and minimizes the initial investment cost and enables higher yields, informs the firm.

Upholding strict safety priorities, the PowerMaster is equipped with 3+2 safety systems to ensure stable power supply day and night.

SOFAR also introduced its PV solutions with SOFAR 110-125KTLX-G4 leading the show. With features such as ultra-high current, easy installation and intelligent protection, SOFAR says it has been recognized by global customers as an ideal solution optimized for C&I and small-scale utility installations.

Featuring 10*40A MPPTs, the inverter significantly ensures lower LCOE and higher yields. And a weight less than 75kg makes it easier to install, saving expensive labor costs. Meanwhile, it is also available for AFCI and I-V curve scanning, and has IP66 overall protection along with C5 anti-corrosion making it resilient to harsh working conditions.

Meanwhile, SOFAR enriches its storage solutions with HYD 5-10KTL-3PH-G4 and all-in-one residential ESS PowerAll as well. Equipped with features, including flexible battery capacity expansion and a smart battery management system, it has been one of SOFAR’s most popular choices for households to effectively lower their energy bills.

“Since we entered the UK market, the team have been consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation by releasing microinverter system PowerNano, C&I ESS PowerIn and PowerMagic tailored for Europe’s focus in residential and C&I applications,” said Allen Cao, Head of SOFAR Europe, “You may notice, we are also launching our roadshow in the UK and Ireland after the exhibition. I’m convinced that through what we demonstrate, SOFAR can deliver the energy freedom to more European households.”

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

The firm has set sights on making a mark globally. At the recently held BNEF London Summit, SOFAR had launched its microinverter system PowerNano, C&I ESS PowerIn and PowerMagic. SOFAR, which entered the Indian market six years back with its inverters, is now diversifying its products and reach. The firm, which initially tried to penetrate the residential market and focussed more on Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) partnerships, is now trying to make inroads into the country’s Commercial and Industrial (C&I) and utility-scale projects.
