PowerMaster

Optimized for utility-scale energy storage plants, SOFAR has its latest flagship PowerMaster on display, which is an integrated solution embodied with promising technologies. As a safe, reliable and sustainable solution to ensure grid resilience amidst demanding market operating conditions, PowerMaster is a combination of an innovative air and liquid hybrid cooling system, 3+2 safety systems, modular design, lower LCOS and smart control, informs the firm.

The result of ten years of exploration and independent R&D, SOFAR PowerMaster has won recognition from industry partners since its release. During the Powering Forward New Product Launch, SOFAR signed MoUs with Hongyuan New Energy, Huaqing New Energy and Xiaoju New Energy, solidifying its presence in the energy storage market.

PowerMega 

In the meantime, SOFAR has launched another new product 320kW string inverter PowerMega tailored for utility PV. This high-current inverter made a debut at SNEC by solving traditional sore points and combining efficiency, safety and user-friendly all in one. With a max. efficiency up to 99.05% and 20A input current per MPPT, the inverter is compatible with 210/182mm modules and enables higher power yields. Featuring IP66 and C5-M anti-corrosion, it manages to survive harsh environments with a wide range of working temperature from -30℃ to 60℃. In addition, it supports I-V scanning which allows to pinpoint faulty strings thus maintaining stable operation around the clock.

SOFAR signed MoUs with Guohong Energy Group, Sichuan Shangwei and Tianlun New Energy, highlighting its strength and influence in utility sector and marking a crucial chapter of the company’s journey towards net-zero ambition.

“As countries worldwide steadily decarbonizing their energy sources and phasing out reliance on coal power, we see great potential in renewable energy as it shows a positive impact on building a more sustainable and low-carbon planet. SOFAR will work relentlessly to bring forth all-scenario solutions for scaling-up demands, making renewables accessible and available for more countries,” said Guy Rong, Senior Vice President of SOFAR.
